Abstract

The article reviews "You've Goth My Heart," a novel by L.C. Rosen that intertwines a frothy romance with a missing-teen mystery. Set in Sleepy Hollow, the story follows Gray, who connects with an anonymous texter claiming to be a gay teen facing a family move, while also dealing with the concerns of his goth friends about potential catfishing amidst a backdrop of missing queer boys. As Gray navigates his feelings for both his ex-boyfriend Steve and transfer student Malcolm, who aspires to win a Halloween decorating contest, the narrative explores themes of insecurity and complex relationships. The characters are primarily depicted as white, and the book is aimed at readers aged 14 and up. [Extracted from the article]
