What if you accidentally fell in love with the right guy? Andy: If my life was a movie, I would be the sidekick. Not an especially promising start when my plan is to finally let my best friend know I have a crush on him. I just need a complete makeover. Change everything about myself so that when Falcon returns from his summer vacation, he can finally see I'm the love of his life. If I knew what I was doing, I wouldn't look like every nerd cliche wrapped into one awkward package. In short, I'm screwed. But then Law Anderson enters the picture . . . Law: I need somebody to tutor my hockey team, and Andy needs somebody to help him with his crush. Only the more time I spend with Andy, the more I like this quirky guy who makes me laugh, and pretty soon I'm the one who's tutoring Andy in way more than we initially agreed upon. But as weeks pass and the chemistry between us turns explosive, I'm starting to think that I might be in way over my head with Andy. If only I could make Andy realize that he doesn't need to change himself for love. If only I could make Andy see that he just needs to be with somebody who has considered him perfect all along . . . Contains mature themes.… (more)
User reviews
When a book makes me laugh within the first couple chapters, that is really a very good thing. This was a grand coming of age YA story that I really enjoyed. I liked Andy's sarcasm (both internal and external monologues) and Law was such a sweetie. Towards the middle it seems like it might start to get a little maudlin (as romances sometimes do), but the story pulled itself short on that and quickly picked back up. I thought it was great that the author didn't portray the characters being gay as anything other than a normal thing in the eyes of their family, friends and society in general. Absolutely no angsting in that respect which was nice. There were some explicit scenes so I'm not sure that I would entirely recommend this as a teen story, but I think it does belong in the older YA category. I would certainly recommend this story for anyone looking for a light hearted, feel good and humorous tale.
