This is the debut novel for S. Lucas, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There were high and low points to move the plot along and keep the reader in the story. With great characters and a good story, it kept me turning page after page. There were a couple of times when I found myself rolling my eyes at the characters, but they were all well developed, and I especially loved Trey and his attitude. 4 stars and I recommend you one-click today!

This debut novel from S. Lucas was a wonderfully written coming-of-age story. I think the author did a great job telling the tale of these two young men. It isn't easy writing these topics (such as the ones mentioned in the blurb), but Lucas did great!

From living your life one way to one day, finally opening your eyes and heart to realize you were not completely living your FULLEST life and being true to yourself... well, that could be scary for anyone, and it is something one of our young characters goes through.

Lucas created great characters, wonderful story, and did a great job with the subject matter in this one. I enjoyed the story. It was fun, a little emotional (because I am one of those sensitive readers who puts themselves in the character's place), and overall entertaining story that I am glad I read and would happily recommend. Solid 4.5 stars from this reader!
