14. Geography Club - Brent Hardinger

Aífe and Ciara discuss Geography Club by Brent Hardinger, a 2003 young adult novel about a group of unlikely teenagers brought together by a shared experience that, well, isn't geography.  Yep, you got us. It's lgbtq+ themes.  Discussion points include: the racoon that lives within all of us, sex on tv, 2003 internet, the gentle teen kiss of asparagus lips, solidarity, queer community, high school politics, brainy brainless bisexuals, erotic baseball playing, and why good people do bad things. CONTENT WARNING: homophobia and queerphobia - including targeted bullying with transphobic undertones to it also.
