Quite enjoyable story but I'm taking one star off. Derek's mother was vile, showed as the worst mother ever but she wasn't... let's be very specific here, she could be a homophobic person in Derek's present time, that I can't accept and hate her, but while he was a kid? NO!!!!! She was mental instab...
I’m not sure I liked Frankie for much of this book. He’s shallow, insecure and self-centred – a bit of a prick, actually. But Mel Bossa writes with such skill and uses such wonderful, rich prose she sucked me in and I just could not put this one one down. The story is fraught with drama and angst (y...
Engrossing but disturbing gay literary fiction in which Bossa skillfully pulled together her seemingly disparate plot threads. I'm still not sure what I think about this book.

Read this all the way through in one sitting, only switching off the light close to 2AM this morning. Needless to say, I loved it! Let me explain this little weakness I have...I love geeky, vulnerable heroes. Ones with asthma pumps and a terrible stutter and an equally debilitating crush on the bad ...
I don't even know what to say about this book. It was written well, and dealt with a lot of tough situations realistically. That being said I found it extremely depressing right up till the very end. I also am not sure I really feel that the two MC's that end up together were really right for eac...
