Legendary football jock Brett Miller is one of the most
popular students at Elkhead High and is dating a girl from the softball team.
During this intimate relationship, he meets and somehow falls in love with
another guy named Zach. As a result, Brett learns the term "bi" and
he is now trying to find another solution to this problem. While walking in the
school halls on a very regular school day, he sees another guy his age getting
bullied because he is a homosexual which adds more fuel to the fire to Brett's
internal conflict of his own since these two boys are going through the same
problem mentally and emotionally. How will Brett be able to help this poor man
overcome bullying from something he has that certain people wouldn't approve
of? Will Brett break up with his girlfriend for another man or just stick with
what he has?
From first hearing this book (or I should say reading it), I
thought this was going to be a very good one but sadly no. It just sounds so
basic. I think anyone would be able to write something better than that which
is one of the reasons why the book in general gets a three-star rating from
most rating sites such as Rotten Tomatoes and Goodreads. I wish the author
could've given a bit more effort in writing this, especially since the books
she writes and the author herself isn't even a well-known author yet. Reading
this book made me feel kind of mad and disappointed at the same time because of
how bad I thought this book was. I honestly think anyone can read this book and
maybe hopefully there will be some people who will enjoy reading this even
though a lot of people find it bad reading material. I think if this author
decides to give it her all and be more creative, she can be a very successful
author and have many more stories published.
