It’s easy to become cynical when life never goes your way. Cole Reid has been a social recluse since he was fifteen, when he was outed by his high school baseball team. Since then, his obsessive-compulsive behavior and sarcastic nature have driven away most of the population, and everyone else hates him because he’s gay. As he sees it, he’s bound to repulse any prospective friends, let alone boyfriends, so why bother? By the time Cole enters college, he’s become an anal-retentive loner—but it’s not a problem until his roommate graduates and the housing department assigns Ellis Montgomery to move in with Cole. Ellis is messy, gorgeous, straight, and worst of all, a jock! During a school year filled with frat buddies, camping expeditions, and meddling parents, Cole and Ellis develop a friendship that turns Cole’s glass-half-empty outlook on its head. There must be more to Ellis than a fun-loving jock—and maybe Cole’s reawakening libido has rekindled his hope for more than camaraderie.

I must give the author props - the young men sounded and acted like young men, teasing and harrassing each other and not talking about anything real. It's just that I don't really enjoy that dynamic. I guess I want young men to act much older and more mature - my bad. :-) This was told from seve...
Don't hate me but I was glad when this one ended. I know, I know. I loved Cole and Ellis. I enjoyed watching their friends process their relationship. I thought the mother was fine. It was the constant jibber-jabber. Way, way too much yapping. But I get why this is a popular book and I'd recommend i...
An ok book. not bad, but not memorable either. the trope is pretty common so it's nothing new. The writing was very simple so it didn't get my attention right away. Some parts felt slow and boring and the characters were often pretty shallow. Normal book to read/listen on a lazy day.
Sweet and easy read. I like them together and enjoyed the story.
