Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0593568613
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
A feel-good, refreshing contemporary YA romance from debut author Page Powars that follows a trans boy who starts at a new school and joins a boyfriend borrowing service masquerading as an Italian Club to prove that he’s one of the boys. When sixteen-year-old Noah Byrd starts fresh at a new school, he has the perfect plan to ensure the students see him as his true gender: join the school’s illustrious [and secret] Borrow a Boyfriend Club, where members rent themselves out to their classmates for dates. The endless “slip-ups” that plagued him before will be old news once he establishes himself in the club. Unfortunately, he fails the questionably rigorous interview process. Desperate, he strikes a deal with the club’s prickly but attractive president, Asher—Noah will help lead the nearly-bankrupt club to victory at the school’s popular talent show, and Asher will allow him to demonstrate his boyfriend skills in a series of tests that include romancing Asher himself. If Noah can’t help the club’s members win the show, their whole operation shuts down, squashing his best chance at showing the whole school that he’s “boy enough.” But if Noah succeeds in securing the club their victory, he still loses. Because the most important, unbreakable rule of the Borrow a Boyfriend Club is simple: no real boyfriends (or girlfriends) allowed. And as long as the Borrow a Boyfriend Club is still standing as high as Asher’s man bun, they can never explore the feelings growing between them.

Book Description
One shot destroys the day, and the golf trip to the Outer Banks. One damn shot. Rick Palumbo watches it cut through the glorious sunshine like a knife through butter, the morning breeze having absolutely no effect on its trajectory. Then it disappears into the trees down the right side of the fairway. Mike Tompkins, the guy who hit the shot, grabs a two-iron from his bag and heads down the right rough swinging the iron from side to side like a weed-eater in attack mode. When he arrives at the point of entry, he steps into the woods to find his ball. Moments later, his three playing partners follow in his footsteps to help with the search. Mike is nowhere to be found. But his two-iron is wrapped around a tree and blood is covering the bottom of the face

Strip Club
Author: Kim Price-Glynn
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814767613
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
Stripper chic is in these days: you can watch celebrities "strippercize" on Oprah or do it yourself at your local gym, but this popular face of stripping hides another side of the industry, one that is far less glamorous. In Strip Club, Kim Price-Glynn takes us behind the scenes at The Lion's Den, a rundown club where women are compelled to strip out of economic need rather than as a means of liberation, and a place where strippers' stories often reflect drudgery and dismay. Strip Club reveals the intimate working lives of not just the women up on stage, but also the patrons and other workers who make the place run: the owner-manager, bartenders, deejays, doormen, bouncers, housewives, and cocktail waitresses. Price-Glynn spent fourteen months at The Lion's Den working as a cocktail waitress. Her uncommonly deep access reveals a conflict-ridden workplace fuelled by competing interests and agendas and stereotypical ideas about women, men, sexuality, race, labour, and economic value. Full of rich insights into the world of a single club, Price-Glynn argues that the club environment reproduces gender inequalities through the everyday interactions of customers and workers as well as the broader organizational structure and culture of the modern day workplace. Taking a novel approach to this controversial and often misunderstood industry, Price-Glynn draws a fascinating portrait of life and work inside the strip club.
