Official synopsis Publisher
How do you navigate your life when you can finally make your own decisions?
As Tucker Peterson moves away from home for the first time to attend college in Orlando, this is a question he must ask himself. He still hasn’t told his family he’s gay, he has no idea what he wants to do with his life, and now that he can do whatever he wants, he hasn’t the slightest clue what should come next. Tucker, with the help of his new assertive friend Kiara, must learn to balance his newfound freedom with school and a job, and if he meets a cute boy on the way, then that’s just an added bonus. Paint is a story of self-discovery, of queerness outside the family-friendly safety net of a high school drama, and of drag queens when you need them the most.
If you grew up enjoying coming of age stories like Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower and John Green’s Looking For Alaska, then you will enjoy the similar themes expressed through a more adult and queer lens in Paint.
