Blurb:
I remember sneaking over to his house in
the middle of the night. And the secret love we used to share. That was back in
high school. I never expected to see him again…
Life isn’t easy for a gay teenager living in the nineties. Ben thought coming
out was his best chance of finding love. Instead he ended up lonelier than
before. After a not-so-accidental collision with Tim, an attractive athlete and
artist, Ben is convinced that he’s met his soulmate. Their budding romance is
soon tested by spreading rumors, the danger increasing along with their passion
for each other until it pushes them to the breaking point.
Years later, Ben is attending college in a different state while dating a wonderful guy. Everything is perfect until Tim shows up unexpectedly. Overwhelmed by old feelings, Ben is forced to reconcile the summer-filled dreams of his past with the complexities of his new adult life...
But some love stories are
impossible to forget.
My review:
This starts out as a coming of age story and morphs into so
much more. Ben is comfortable in his identity as a gay kid. The guy he falls
for not so much. This is Ben’s journey. I loved his straight best
friend. This was an enjoyable, if occasionally painful, tale of love and second
chances.
