About this ebook

Jason Carrillo came out to his basketball team senior year and lost his university scholarship. Now, with graduation behind him and summer ending, he's asked to speak at the opening of a gay and lesbian high school across the country. But after spending years in the closet and losing his scholarship dream, what message can he offer?
Kyle Meeks is getting ready to go to Princeton in the fall and trying to see as much as possible of his boyfriend Jason before they have to separate. When Jason tells him about his speaking invitation, Kyle jumps at the chance to drive across country with him. Yet he can't help worrying: Will their romance survive two weeks crammed together in a car?
Nelson Glassman is happy his best friend Kyle has found love with Jason. Now he's looking for his own true love -- and hopes he might find his soul mate during the road trip. But will being the "third wheel" in a trio ruin his friendships with Kyle and Jason?
During an eye-opening postgraduation summer road trip, each of the three very different boys also embarks on a personal journey across a landscape of love, sexuality, homophobia, and above all, friendship.

Ratings and reviews

COULD OF BEEN A WONDERFUL GAY ROMANCE STORY! BUT THE AUTHOR HAD TO MESS THINGS UP BADLY! WITH SILLY ROWS INTERFERING FEMALES (MASCULINE GUYS GAY OR BREEDERS DON'T HAVE FEMALE FRIENDS) KYLE WOULD NEVER OF LEFT JASON EVEN IF IT WAS FOR HARVARD (LET ALONE PRINCETON) THEY WOULD OF ATTENDED THE SAME ONE! THE NELSON AND MANUEL STORY WAS WRITTEN POORLY IT WOULD OF BEEN BETTER IF MANUEL MOVED IN WITH NELSON

I read this waaaaaay back in junior high. Great book for young adults. At least, it was for me, that I remember! :D

A fantastic addition to the series.
