Christy has escaped an abusive past and moved to the
USA. He is still badly hurt and can’t talk because of the damage to his larynx.
He’s very feminine and loves to wear woman’s clothes, especially
lingerie.
Michael is a
jock and wants a boyfriend, but he isn’t out at school. He likes feminine boys
and has a major crush on Christy.
When the two
get together it’s instant attraction. But of course they run into all kinds of
trouble. From a psycho school mate, to the extra psycho maniac that abused
Christy for years. They have to overcome all the dangers but also they fear
from Michael’s parents.
Besides all that Christy still has a lot of physical and mental healing to do and they struggle with that too. Thank god they have a good psychiatrist and great friends.
This book was
long and very, very full of angst. The characters are very likable and well
written. Christy’s problems are a bit overwhelming at times but Michael keeps
being there for him.
I have to be
honest here and say that even though this was one of the best books I read in a
long time, there was a moment that I thought it was all a bit too much. Too
much drama and problems and not enough good times. But then again, it did keep
me reading until the book was done.
There were a
few loose strings at the end of the book that bothered me, but I’ve heard from
a reliable source that there will be a sequel.
This is not an
endorsement of this book, this is an unbiased and objective review.
