SUMMARY:Gay Book Club: Yeah the Boys by Holden Sheppard
DESCRIPTION:Drum roll please... Ramona's Gay Book Club is here! Hosted by
  Ramona's most loyal supporter\\, Jason Davis\\, avid reader of contempor
 ary men's queer fiction. \\nWe're kicking off with Holden Sheppard's Yeah
  the Boys\\, described as "unflinching" and "rollicking\\," which honestl
 y tells you everything you need to know about the energy of this book.\\n
 It can be read as a standalone\\, but picks up seven years after Sheppard
 's beloved 2019 debut Invisible Boys\\, catching up with its three main c
 haracters having moved from Geraldton to Perth. What follows is a big-hea
 rted\\, clear-eyed look at friendship\\, masculine identity\\, and what i
 t means to grow up working-class and queer in Australia. Written with wha
 t Sheppard himself calls 'bogan pride\\,' and with absolutely no apology 
 for it.\\nThis is the kind of book that makes you laugh\\, wince\\, and f
 eel seen... sometimes all on the same page.\\nJoin us for an evening of d
 iscussion\\, a drink in hand\\, and the kind of conversation that only ha
 ppens when the right book finds the right room. New to book club or a lon
 g-time regular\\, you're warmly welcome.\\nYour ticket includes:\\n• A 
 copy of Yeah the Boys\\n• A drink on arrival\\n• Your spot on the nig
 ht\\nGrab your ticket and collect your copy in store.\\nhttps://www.gayou
