This is a cute story and I quite liked it.I don't know what I did expect from a story set in High school, other than some faded distant memories coming alive again, but somehow our T&F meets were different and our coach was different, and being closeted, I never even got close to what is described in this book. It was a light read, not too much drama, but still enough to keep me engaged, wanting to read on. At times I found the dialogue a little bit too adult, given that we're talking about 17 year olds. I guess that's where the fourth star was lost. Those kids just seem so mature in the ways they express themselves, yet their actions were more in sync with their age. But then again, just as one of the mothers says, kids are more mature today, so what do I know how they actually talk today? Maybe it has been too long since I was in High School…I can't wait to read the continuation! :) This is a weird one for me. There is so much stuff about this book that I shouldn't like, but for some reason I just do.The dialogue is bizarre. The characters sound like they are in a constant therapy session - "I feel as though...", "I understand that you're saying to me that you feel...", "I believe the reason I feel this way is...", especially Derek.But Derek and Scott are just so cute together.My head gives this story 3 stars, and my heart gives it 5 stars, so I'm settling on 4.
What do You think about Wrestling With Desire (2010)?
I really loved the chemistry between Derek and Scott! Heartfelt with an interesting storyline.

Emotions felt right, loved the two MCs. But the dialogue was stilted--sometimes painfully so.

What a sweet, sweet coming of age love story. Full review to come.
