Publisher's summary

I love him. And I’m pretty sure he loves me back...even though he’s straight.

When I first met Carter King, I knew he was something special. I imagined us being together, and we are, but only as friends. Best friends! I’m trying to be cool with that, even though I know he has secrets, and there have definitely been mixed signals. I don’t want a crush to ruin what we already have. Then again, if there’s any chance that we can be together, it’s worth the risk, because Carter could be the love of my life. Or he might be the boy who breaks my heart.

Straight Boy is Jay Bell’s emotional successor to his critically acclaimed Something Like... series. This full-length novel tells a story of friendship and love while skirting the blurry line that often divides the two.

Entertaining but dark

I am a huge Jay Bell fan. This story however was a bit darker than I usually like. It is like all of his books well written. There were just some parts where I got very upset at the characters very unbelievable reactions and decisions.

Whirlwind of emotions

I mostly listen to audio books while I’m at work. This book had me going from laughing out loud to tearing up while I was at work. I received many strange looks from customers because of it. I listen with my headphones in so they had no idea why I was laughing or tearing up. I absolutely loved this book!

Engaging

I’ve never felt so connected and emotionally involved with a book. I could feel the dynamic of each scene as if it was a memory that I had lived myself. I would say that this is a must read/listen. Can’t wait for someone to turn it into a movie or mini series.

Sweet Young Gay Fiction

At first I wasn't sure about this. But as the story unfolded and friendships developed, I was hooked and read it in three days.
