Please leave comments on Lucky's 4 1/2 sweet pea review at mrsconditreadsbooks.com/index.php/?p=13538Anyta Sunday has given me some great books to read. From (Un)Masked with Andrew Q. Gordon, to Lenny For Your Thoughts, and now Taboo For You. I have to say, I really enjoyed this book. Told from three points of view: The father, the son, and the man who loves them both, Ms. Sunday builds the story at a nice, even pace.Sam is getting older. At fifteen he got his girlfriend pregnant. Nine months later he had Jeremy. He regrets his lost youth and has made a list of twenty things he wants to do before he hits the big 3-0.His best friend, Luke, has always been there for the both of them. Luke has found a copy of the list and he makes it his job to makes Sam's dreams come true. He wants to see his friend smile.Jeremy is the son. He's a conniving little bastard. He sets up a plan with his friend to convince his parents that he's gay and they accomplish this by having his mom walk in on a little makeout session. With both his parents and Luke thinking he's gay, it frees him up to spend more time with his girlfriend, Suzy.When Sam decides he wants to do something taboo, he tells Luke, who insists that if Sam is going to try something like that, it should be with someone he trusts. Someone like, well, Luke. This sets up a tentative exploration of what it's like to be gay.These three men are on a collision course where secrets will be exposed, lives will change, and either they'll come together or be torn apart forever.
