Blue | 825 comments I'm not sure what to class the genre as other than dystopia.

It was a book where homosexuality was considered the preferred sexuality and people who were heterosexual were sent to camps to "fix them", it was a horrible book that I don't suggest anyone ever reads but the title is alluding meand I going crazy trying to remember it.

Plot points that I remember are the MC is the son of some prominent political people and when he is found with a girl he is sent to prison, where he meets another girl and they escape.

The cover was white and blue, I think and the author was a woman.

I think it was released between 4 and 7 years ago, maybe around 2012/2013. Was set in America.

That is all I can remember about that one.

Thanks,

Blue, please split your request into two separate threads - one thread/topic for each book. The exception is multiple books belonging to the same book series. This will avoid confusion.

After you create a new thread, a moderator can help copy over information. OR just create two new threads (if you can't edit the first post), and a moderator will help tidy things up.

Hadrian's Lover is not the book I was looking for but does deal with a similar theme so it was close.

The Centaur ones were not the one I was thinking of either but they look interesting.

Thanks.

@Kris. I have created another topic for the Centaur one and edited my original post here.

Sorry for including them together.

Thanks Blue. I added genre and plot details to the topic header. Feel free to update it using the small "edit" link after the header - on the full desktop website (not the mobile website or app).

No the author was a woman and I remember she said she had a gay son and that is why she wrote the book, which is odd because it was super homophobic.

I love your name.

Unfortunately that is the not the right book either.

I think it might have been self published and I am thinking the title had "out" in it.

Thanks for trying though.

Out by Laura Preble seems to match your description.

(Google search - site:www.goodreads.com dystopia gay homosexual camps)
