But the more I think about the book now, the more I really appreciate Tanner’s and Sebastian’s story and realize just how much I enjoyed it. Although I have to admit that I didn’t initially love it as much as I thought I would perhaps because I didn’t connect to the characters as much at the start and I sometimes found their attitudes/actions frustrating (hello, Autumn!). I’ve loved much of what Christina Lauren has written and this was no exception. I’ve seen a lot about Autoboyography everywhere it’s been mentioned as a favorite on many lists and has received a lot of praise. And it takes less than a month for Tanner to fall completely in love with him. After all, it takes only one second for him to notice Sebastian Brother, the Mormon prodigy who sold his own Seminar novel the year before and who now mentors the class. It turns out, Tanner is only partly right: four months is a long time. Writing a book in four months sounds simple. But when his best friend Autumn dares him to take Provo High’s prestigious Seminar-where honor roll students diligently toil to draft a book in a semester-Tanner can’t resist going against his better judgment and having a go, if only to prove to Autumn how silly the whole thing is. Now, with one semester of high school to go, and no obstacles between him and out-of-state college freedom, Tanner plans to coast through his remaining classes and clear out of Utah. Three years ago, Tanner Scott’s family relocated from California to Utah, a move that nudged the bisexual teen temporarily back into the closet.
