Jason Carrillo, the best-looking athlete in school, has had his eyes on the prize from day one: a scholarship for college.



But then his eyes turn to love -- and Kyle.

Kyle Meeks, swim team star and all-around good guy, is finally in the relationship he wanted. Being in love feels so good, in fact, that he can't imagine giving it up to go to Princeton.

Something he's worked for his entire life.

Nelson Glassman, outgoing and defiant, might be HIV positive. Jeremy, the boy he loves, is HIV positive. Although Nelson fears testing positive, if he is infected Jeremy might stop protecting him and pushing him away.

They can be together.



High shool's almost over. Graduation is ahead. Life's a bowl of cherries, right? Right...

Taschima's POV:

High school is difficult as it is right? Well for these guys is even harder. Jason the star athlete is gay, knows it but its still afraid of completely "coming out of the closet". I mean what would his teammates think? His friends? Though choice, then again life is full of those. Meanwhile Kyle, a.k.a. Jason's honey, is struggling with the hardest decision of his life, Princeton or Jason? and Nelson is scared not only for high school, but for his life. What will the future bring these young men? I guess you will have to read it to find out.

A realistic novel of growing up Gay. It is unbelievable all the crap gay people have to put up with just for being different. I cannot understand, I don't know Ill ever understand, why people are so close minded. Gay people are the same as us, they worry about school, college, their family's, teenage drama, etc. I admire homosexual people, some times they are stronger that all of us together. This book is amazing and everybody should get a chance to read it, it open your eyes to things that are happening all around the world, things that may be happening in your very own school.
