Look, this is a wonderful novella which grabs you from the start and even though it alternates present day and flashback, it's really a tale of two high school seniors who fall in love at the dawn of the 21st Century. You know there's a HEA on the first page, but getting there is half the fun. M.J. O'Shea is in her best "sensitive boy child" mood here--northwest milieu, sensitive sweethearts, alternately confused, scared and defiant about their relationship.HOWEVER, Ms. O'Shea, get yourself a proper copy editor and layout technician. This book's Kindle format is rife with paragraphs that are not delineated--the conversations between Alex and Taylor are often in one paragraph, not separated so that you know it's one answering the other. And while you're at it, make that an AMERICAN copy editor--one who can spell the word the way we do and also one who does not impose a British accent on some phrases. Otherwise you will sail right through this heartfelt voyage with a smile on your face. (One more star would have been granted for a "clean" format). Taylor is an average guy and living the normal teenage high school life. All of a sudden a new guy starts school and has everybody in a tizzy. Taylor get invited to the new guy's, Alex, house for a party. While Taylor is wandering around Alex's mansion he gets lost looking for a bathroom only to stumble into Alex's room and into Alex. They end up staying up the whole night and having and awesome connection. So much so that they start to fool around and realize that they love each other. Even though they fall in love can Taylor get over his fear of coming out or will it tear them apart.This was a cute heartwarming story. It was a little differently because it starts out with Taylor and Alex as a married couple and then it flashbacks to how they first met. It is a great story although it was really short and it left me wanting more. I give this story 3 stars.
What do You think about Unintended (2010)?
Ok This was so freaken sweet. I loved the back and forth past/presant.
