Wow what a great story. Way to go Mark

I simply could not put this book down. Loved everything about it. I recommend this to anyone. Definitely one of my favorites. I might even read it again. Also the narration was fantastic

Another tear jerkier with a lot of laughs

Just a great HS story which would never happen in my HS and time period. It has a great many characters that I ended carrying about. I love the author.

This is one of those books I always hope to find

I've been hesitant to get this book for months, but I finally decided to take the plunge. It was so worth it.
There are several "interesting" supporting characters that twist through the main plot of Jarrod and Mark, two jocks vying for a coveted Center Forward position on their new high school's soccer team. One of those supporting characters is Dylan, an over the top out and proud exuberant gay boy who is an open book when it comes to his social skills and he's a Hoot. His special way to "get along" with the Jocks is well.... inventive, and laugh out loud sometimes. I think most guys who have been out for a while know someone who might remind them somewhat of a Dylan. He's also supportive, honest and says what he feels.
I like the character development, the competition, and Jarrod's unwavering support to try and help Mark, his always slightly better competition, with the dark mental state he falls into. I really enjoyed this book and plan to listen to it again. It's not only frequently funny, but emotional, sad at times and then uplifting. Sometimes Mark's actions are temporarily confusing, but for me it was a joy to experience and I was very satisfied at the end. Also a very big plus, the Narrator did a great job with the voices.

Its amazing

I loved the story. Although sometimes i couldn't seperate who was saying what bus a minute later it cleared itself out.

What did I buy?

This is not my kind of read.
I do not know how this was subjected to me after reading one man guy. This is fringe romance and erotica. Also from chapter one it is so plain how low level the writing style is. It became clear this book is for sensationalism and not quality enjoyment by chapter two when it went from coming of age story to porn. This is genre writing and not universal and exclusionary to a small readership, this coming from a gay reader.
