This guy is ridiculous. He is a little shit and I kind of want to strangle him, a bit.

Some things Mike did and said made me want to shake him. But at the same time I recognise that he is just a normal teen, and that's how it actually is. Therefore, like I said - ridiculous.

I don't have too many squabbles, but I strongly believe that Rook needs to apologise. I don't believe a relationship with any dark history would last long. If only because the bitterness will well up during an argument and the old wounds shall open again with new hurt. Unless you actually talk about it.

Overall, this is a good story and rather realistic IMO.

FINAL VERDICT : TRY IT… (meer)

Nolan is a confused high school junior. Not about being adopted (he loves his family, especially his older bossy sister Daphne), not about his sexuality (he's gay and has come out though sadly never been kissed), not about gym class (he's going to get bloodied). Mostly it's about his crush, football hero Si. When Daphne comes up with a scheme to ask Si to prom, it goes awry and Nolan asks Bern (who just broke up with his girlfriend) instead.
It's a very funny book, perfect for teens and a quick read. Nolan is a great character as are all those in the book. His family is warm and hysterical, and his friends are supportive and fun. I really enjoyed this entertaining book.… (meer)
