Product Description
It's Dade's last summer at home. He has a crappy job at Food World, a “boyfriend” who won’t publicly acknowledge his existence (maybe because Pablo also has a girlfriend), and parents on the verge of a divorce. College is Dade’s shining beacon of possibility, a horizon to keep him from floating away. Then he meets the mysterious Alex Kincaid. Falling in real love finally lets Dade come out of the closet—and, ironically, ignites a ruthless passion in Pablo. But just when true happiness has set in, tragedy shatters the dreamy curtain of summer, and Dade will use every ounce of strength he’s gained to break from his past and start fresh with the future.

Ricky (USA: CT) (2010/07/19): It has fantastic reviews, and AfterElton calls it one of the best gay books ever, and blah, blah... Honestly, it's kind of a dull read, and apart from a really attractive cover, there isn't THAT much to the book. It's worth reading if you really want, but I think this book takes itself a little too seriously, and is just too angsty and unrelatable to be called an amazing work of gay fiction.
