When a single kiss calls your sexuality into question, there's only one sure path to a reliable answer: further research.PatrickI like to think I know myself outside and in. As a developmental psychologist, I've spent years exploring the true foundations of my identity. So, when losing a bet means kissing my best friend, Logan, I already know I'm going to hate every second of it. All the relevant questions regarding my sexuality were asked and answered years ago. The results were conclusive: despite the odd same-sex attraction, I dislike being touched by men.That is, it seems, until Logan is the man doing the touching. The intense desire aroused by his kiss contradicts all my expectations and I have no idea how to integrate the new information.

Our recent lip-lock may have unleashed my feelings for him temporarily, but I'll get them back on their platonic track in no time. Falling for a friend, especially a sexually ambivalent friend, is a one-way ticket to heartache.But, when the unforeseen impact of our kiss inspires Patrick to conduct an experiment into the extent of his bisexuality, I can't resist volunteering to help.

This was alright. I liked the research/experiment aspect but the romance was kind of iffy and it was way too long. Logan was okay but I didn't really have any strong feelings for him. He was pretty self-aware which was kind of ironic since Patrick was kind of dumb. For all Patrick's a PHD psychology student, he has no clue about people and he's not too aware of himself for all his say so. I mean it was pretty obvious he was into guys. The root of the sick feeling he gets was pretty bloody obvious as well. For someone who prides himself on knowing himself and being authentic - he failed to see the blatantly obvious - that he had a traumatic experience and all subsequent experiences lacked trust. The romance between him and Logan drags though. It races ahead and the slows down and then just stalls and I didn't care enough about either of them to move past it.

I did like the idea of Patrick's PHD research into the concept of living authentically and owning your truth though. The idea of a framework that individuals could use to explore and use to find answers to those questions was interesting. And I liked the conclusions he came to namely asking himself who he would choose to be if he wasn't afraid? If nothing else, finding that gem made reading this worth it. 2.5 stars. ( )
