| Summary, Etc. |
"Shampoo Unicorn: (noun) 1. A shower hairdo in which one styles their lathered hair into the fluffiest soapy unicorn horn possible. 2. A podcast by two mysterious hosts exploring rural queer life -- the isolation, the microaggressions, the boredom, and occasionally, the sky-shattering joy. In the small town of Canon, West Virginia, most people care about three things: God, country, and football. Brian is more into Drag Race, Dolly Parton, and his gig as one of the mystery hosts of the podcast Shampoo Unicorn. Greg's life as the town's super-masc football star seems perfect, but he has a secret: He's just as gay as Brian. Leslie is a trans girl living in nearby Pennsylvania, searching for reasons to get out of bed every day. Her solace is listening to her favorite podcast... When a terrible accident occurs, it's Shampoo Unicorn that brings the three teens' lives together. And what begins as a search for answers becomes a story of finding connection. Sawyer Lovett's powerful and ultimately joyful debut novel is about three teens, one podcast, and carving out a rainbow pocket in an otherwise red state" -- Jacket flap.
