Jimmy Strong is one devastating son of a gun. He's gorgeous, stubborn, a dancer, fiercely protective of his loved ones (to a fault), and intense. He can steal your heart with his infectious laughter . . . and break it with a single glance of his stunning, rich brown eyes. I ought to know. He breaks mine every day. Being his gay best friend and college roomie is, to say the least, frustrating. Especially when you've seen just about every inch of that corn-fed beauty, he's worked his way into every fantasy you can remember having, and he's as straight as they make them. We're heading back to Spruce for the summer. He just broke things off with his latest lady-squeeze, which means I have Jimmy all to myself for three long months of relaxation, bro-time, and kicking back. Until one night alone with Jimmy-and a reckless, unthinkable move-that changes everything. Contains mature themes. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This is both so southern ice tea in a mason jar it hurts and so flanderized gay that it's offensive if read by a member of the LGBT. The title alone is a weird one, the cover's already pretty comical. But we open up on ass admiration and a lot of gay talk that you'd never hear out of a bisexual or homosexual man's mouth unless he was drunk or high. Things are very exaggerated, and the book feels again like a comedy.
The description of this being able to be read on its own is dead accurate, you need none of book #1 or book #2 to jump into this one. It might as well not even be a series as the only thing in common it has is the location and Stephen King already pulls things like that without numbering every book happening in Maine.
Every page is a punch, every scene is either a one-liner gut-shredder or a gay innuendo from hell. It's not awful, but it's not really an LGBT romance thus far, more what someone writing comedy would create with two male characters destined to get together.
You can tell by page sixteen they will end up together, and it keeps on rubbing it in time and time again. There's no real question, no doubt. It doesn't throw in anything to be a curve ball. No surprises come from this book. It's a read for a lot of laughs but neither character Bobby or Jimmy read as actual characters. They read exactly the same. If you asked me which one was gay and which one was straight, I'd tell you both were bi as a cycle the entire book. It's clear they are, and leaves little mystery to the story.
I put off reviewing this for a long time, but finally I can drop this into the weird abyss and walk away, or can I? Banner has a loooot more books just like these. Do I dare? (
