Cut Both Ways: A Bisexual Coming-of-Age Story by Carrie Mesrobian
Cut Both Ways is a young adult novel by Carrie Mesrobian, a William C. Morris YA Debut Award nominee. The book explores the complex and confusing feelings of Will Caynes, a high school senior who is attracted to both his girlfriend, Brandy, and his male best friend, Angus.
Will has never been good with girls, but he didn't expect his first kiss to happen with Angus, while they were drunk and stoned. He's not gay, but he can't deny that he enjoyed it. He tries to avoid Angus and starts dating Brandy, a cute and easy-to-talk-to sophomore. He likes her a lot, but he also secretly keeps going back to Angus.
Will is torn between two people he loves, and he doesn't know how to identify himself or what to do. He also has to deal with his dysfunctional family: his father is an alcoholic who neglects his house renovations, and his mother is a materialistic divorcee who lives in a fancy house with her new husband. Will feels alone and lost in his own life.
Cut Both Ways is a raw, sympathetic, and realistic story that uncovers the messy, painful, yet vitally important process of self-discovery. It shows the struggles and joys of being bisexual, and the challenges of finding one's place in the world. It's a book that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt confused, conflicted, or curious about their sexuality.
What readers are saying about Cut Both Ways
Cut Both Ways has received mixed reviews from readers, who have praised the author's honest and realistic portrayal of bisexuality, but also criticized the lack of plot, character development, and resolution. Some readers have also found the main character, Will, to be unlikable, selfish, and disrespectful of his partners.
Here are some examples of what readers are saying about Cut Both Ways:
\"I think this book satisfies a different kind of need. It provides a more authentic look at teens in a coming-of-age kind of way. There are no apologies or explanations for Will's behavior, which is refreshing and frustrating at the same time.\" - L.G., Goodreads
\"I'm so disappointed by this book. I was looking forward to it so much but it's literally like the author just goes 'ah bisexuality -> cheating' and there's not much else to it. Neither is there really a conclusion to anything and it's so frustrating.\" - Charlotte, Goodreads
\"I've been loving the YA trend of diversity, so I knew I had to pick up Cut Both Ways by Carrie Mesrobian, despite its extremely low ratings on Goodreads. While I usually stray away from books that are lower than 3.50 on Goodreads, I'm grateful that I decided to pick up Cut Both Ways because of the raw, humane way Mesrobian tells the story.\" - Jenaca, Goodreads
