Mark Cooper had to move to America from Australia when his mom go married to her new husband Jim. Now he's in college & unhappy with the world. He misses his old home & friends. And he doesn't understand a lot about American culture. He meets Deacon Holt who's bartending when he tries to buy a beer on his 18th birthday. After he & Deacon hook-up he finds out that Deke is a member of a rival fraternity to the one he's pledging.That doesn't matter to Mark, though because the more he gets to know Deke, the more he likes him. Together they explore the kinkier aspects of their sexuality.Mark was a difficult character for me to really like right away because he's so angry at everything. Even things that he shouldn't necessarily be angry about. But being with Deke makes Mark want to be a better person & that makes him more likeable as the book continues. There were times when I felt like these characters were older than 18 & 21. Then there were times when I felt they were definitely that young.Things that had me grinning like a crazy person: angry bunny, Mark's fear of bears, Mark's snark.
