Reviewed by KalypsoThe premise of the book was a bit ridiculous to me. Having gay sex with your best friend, who is in love with with you, while you are strictly heterosexual of course, to get your confidence about your abilities in the bedroom back, is a bit crazy to me. But maybe that's just teenage- boy logic? Aside from that, I really enjoyed the book. I loved how the parentification of Camden was portrayed and I loved how Kingston and Camden were together. And I really loved the ending! So all in all, it was a really sweet story and still talked about tough topics like homophobia, and parentification.
