This book drew me in immediately. I absolutely love John Goode's writing style. Kyle's inner monologue is highly entertaining as he navigates the awkwardness of his interactions with Brad:"Awesome. Thanks, man," he said, turning around and then pausing. "Um, I hate to ask this... but I really don't know your name." He seemed contrite and embarrassed all at once, which made him about a thousand times more attractive in my eyes. I paused for an impossibly long moment as I realized I didn't know my name either. "Kyle!" I blurted out as the memory of my given name stumbled across the tip of my tongue. "My name is Kyle!" I tried again, reinforcing it by saying it out loud again.Kyle is such a likable guy. He's clearly suffered a great deal of hardship, both physically and emotionally. I just want to wrap my arms around him. No, better yet, I just want to wrap Brad's arms around him.If you're looking for steamy sex scenes, you won't find them here. The boys haven't progress that far in their relationship (yet?), but you will find some very intense intimate moments.If you like coming out/coming of age stories, this one is not to be missed. The sequelThe End of the Beginning (Tales of Foster High)is just as good, and is told from Brad's point of view.
