“A nice story between friend's who spend the summer apart and learn more about their desires and life. This book was written from the perspective of online blog entries. The ending was not superficial where the guy ends up with guy/girl. Instead they end up just friends. The book was slow at many times, but still a cute story. ”

Chuck goes to drama camp and Hal remains in their hometown. They keep in touch with one another via daily blog entries and the reader follows their often hilarious romantic entanglements. This is not for the faint of heart, as sex is talked about all the time and often explicitly described, and Hal just came out and is exploring his first homosexual relationship. Though at times this was slow-moving, I think because the blog entries were so detailed, I found it very realistic. The two protagonists sounded like real teenage boys and their romances turned out about the way they would have in real life.”

The author has two high school friends blogging to each other over a summer when they are in different cities, so the book is written as blog entries. Sloan tries to make the entries sound like high school guys, but it is overdrawn. One is a theatre type and the other a recently out of the closet gay, but they are too stereotypical. Sometimes the blogs are in ALL CAPS so we know the writer is upset. There is some gay sex described, but it is done nicely.”

It's written in a style that any age will be able to grasp. The characters struggle to retain a friendship through vast distances, while also struggling with life. Something I'm sure everyone can relate to.”

Yes | No“this book was really cute. the whole book is written through letters from two best friends who are writing to each other via email. they are apart for the entire summer and they want to keep each other up on everything that happens in their lives. even though i am usually not a fan of email/instant message books this was done in a way that was really enjoyable. i thought the writing was really good for a silly book like this, and it was not only entertaing but it challenged me aswell. i thought the relationship between the two boys was really cute. one boy was newly gay and the other was his best friend. they both had a bad history with girls/boys and the book deals a lot with their summer crushes. a big part of the reason i liked this book so much was because i was able to relate to their story. over the summer i was away at summer college and i made it a point to talk to my best friend every day. we shared stories about our summer and made sure we were up to date on every aspect of each others lives. this reminded of that. i would reccomend this book to anyone that was looking for a really simple fun read and some laughs.
