Is it really worth it if it completely changes who you've become? How sad to let the person you are slip into oblivion so that you may become someone like everyone else. Jamie is a great character. I feel his pain and his uncertainty. I was always surprised at what he was going to do next. I'd recommend this book and I like the cover. It's pretty cool. 3 1/2 fabulous kisses for this one! ( ) lisagibson | Dec 20, 2010 | 4.5Q, 5P; Cover Art: Awesome! This book is best suited for highschoolers. It was selected due to first being interesting in the cover, then an interest in the gay protagonist. Grade (of reviewer): 10th (SM-AHS-NC) edspicer | Dec 6, 2010 | The main character has a lot of heart and I was rooting for him the whole way through. I also loved the tone of the book, which strikes a nice balance between funny and serious. I wish secondary characters had been more three-dimensional, but overall I really enjoyed this debut novel.

HTML: If you could change who you are, would you? Should you? Fifteen-year-old Jamie Bates has a simple strategy for surviving high school: fit in, keep a low profile, and above all, protect his biggest secret-he's gay. But when a classmate discovers the truth, a terrified Jamie does all he can to change who he is. At first, it's easy. Everyone notices when he starts hanging out with Celia Gamez, the richest and most beautiful girl in school. And when he steals an experimental new drug that's supposed to "cure" his attraction to guys, Jamie thinks he's finally going to have a "normal" life. But as the drug's side effects worsen and his relationship with Celia heats up, Jamie begins to realize that lying and using could shatter the fragile world of deception that he's created-and hurt the people closest to him. Told with equal doses of humor and suspense, Love Drugged explores the consequences of a life constructed almost entirely of lies . . . especially the lies we tell ourselves.

Bah. There should have been far more consequences all around, especially for Dr. Gamez, who is the epitome of the stereotypical amoral and unethical scientist who is more concerned about his research than about the results and negative aspects of the pills he's creating and their affects on the people he's using to conduct his research, including his own daughter. His interactions with the MC, Jamie were teeth grindingly annoying. As for Jamie? While I do get that accepting oneself is really hard, the way he went about trying to deny his sexuality was, to be quite honest, breathtakingly stupid. (
