I did like this book but it had so many corny/far fetched aspects it was really hard to take seriously. It involved hot athlete Brad ( and closeted gay man) and self proclaimed "dork" (very openly gay) Wesley. Brad's parents are in the midst of a divorce and he happens to move into a home practically attached to Wesley's house. In fact,their windows are so close they start writing notes to each other to read through each others windows. Some parts with the bullying of Wesley being gay were sadly accurate with what goes on at school but most of the book was unrealistic to me. How they both show up at the dance holding identical I love you notes, the epilogue where Wesley is a teacher and encounters a student who also happens to be writing love notes to a "popular jock" through his bedroom window. I felt Wesley's character was over the top with his emotions. I know a lot of gay men and yes, some are very flamboyant but this guy was just too much. Wesley came from very supportive parents , while Brad's dad just isn't having it. Of course against all odds they end up together. It's a very light, easy read but like I said, kind of cheesy, not too deep but just a fun read even though Wesley's constant sobbing gets a bit old. I really liked it, actually. Although I hated the constant references to Born This Way and You Belong With Me, it was a really, really cute book. Like, even the angst was good. Quick read, cool story, a little cliché, but it was really good. I even liked the two main characters! I loved Brad, but not because of what he represented (the "love interest"), it was because of his full personality. I related to him, like, as soon as I started reading it (kidding, but you get what I'm saying).So, yeah. Good book. Lovely, a little bit cliché, but still valid.
What do You think about You Belong With Me (2013)?
This author just satisfies all my buttons. Excellent work. LOVED IT!

I wasn't to fond of Chrissy, but overall it was a pretty decent book.
