Passionate right-wing conservative Albert Reese has taken a dangerous interest in his gay classmate Denton Price.

Albert mercilessly trounces Denton during a very personal debate in their politics class, leaving Denton devastated and grateful this is the end of the semester. He never wants to see Albert's cold judging glare ever again.

But then Albert chases Denton down in the library.

The ending could have been better. It left me wondering if and on how Albert talk to his dad about his gay relationship. The two year jump left to many unanswered questions.
However ‘ I really enjoyed the changes in Alberts character in homosexual philosophy.

Overall, an enjoyable story. I'm not sure I buy the whole "straight guy loving a gay guy" thing. The author seemed to keep that going longer than I thought believable for these two. I couldn't imagine the out gay man tolerating that pretense for so long. Having said that, the story was sweet and I have met gay men who attempt the whole "straight acting" thing. They, however, identified as gay men and not straight. They just didn't want to participate in what they percieved as an artificial gay culture. I'm fairly certain there were some typos in the text that the narrator simply repeated. That caused some confusion at times and brought me a bit out of the story at others.

Interesting

Omg! I delayed listening to this for a while because I wasn't sure how I felt about it. And I delayed finishing it once started because Albert was an unbelievably infuriating homophobe!!! (An amazing feet on Yamila's part to really ruffle my feathers about a character! (not the violent or name calling homophobe type. Just different morals.) I finally found the time and patience to finish it and my goodness am I glad I did!!! How amazing that I went from hating a character to endearing him and his character development and protective nature towards Denton! If you're not sure then please give it a chance! You'll really love it by the end and wish like I do that there's more!

MIXED EMOTIONS!! But LOVED it by the end!!

... but not great. Its a slow burn, which is awkwardly impactful given the story is on the shorter end. This author has been hit or miss for me, with either an excellent or tepid experience. There was so much potential for this to be a bit, but the more complex ideas get dropped without resolution, leaving the end to feel a bit two dimensional.

Not bad...
