'My Side of the Story' is the perfectly rendered portrait of a precocious, troubled teenager faced with the awkward process of growing up and coming out.
"My name is Jarold, but everyone calls me Jaz, which is a damn sight cooler I think you'll agree. I'm sixteen (just) and I have two remarkably undivorced parents, along with a sister and a grandmother and we all live in the same house together just like in a TV show. I've just started my A-levels too, which me and Al are planning to fail, which is our way of saying Fuck You to the British educational standard."
Jaz's parents have just discovered he is gay. He is sent off to a shrink, mocked by his schoolmates, and worst of all, keeps bumping into his school teacher at the local gay bar. There's masses and masses of hassle to come, but this is pretty much where it all begins.
Witty, sarcastic and incredibly funny, 'My Side of the Story' is a pitch-perfect portrait of a teenager who must learn to deal with the traumas of adolescence -- and a little something more.
