Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Meg

I really really really enjoyed this book. The story takes place in something like an alternate universe, or rather an alternate town, where everyone is really accepting of the gay community (for example the high school quarterback is also the Prom Queen). This set up allows for a gay romance to blossom without all of the "gay issues" that muddle up other gay romances. These issues aren't totally thrown out the window however, the main character's best friend lives in another town which is not so GLBT friendly. This balance allows this book to do something totally cool...present a romance between two boys uninterrupted by prejudice, while not neglecting to show the difficulty of the queer experience.
