Loved this book.  Even though this story was shorter than I would have liked because I just wanted it to keep going.  The shortness didn't affect the character development.  The reader was still given a well defined background for both Kyle and Brad.  The angst and relationship weren't overboard, but still in keeping of what love is like in high school and it did touch upon real memories for me.  The flow of the book included all the self-consciousness of finding a niche for oneself in the various high school cliques and not deviating from them for fear of social exile.  That's why the book works so well.Brad is the popular jock and Kyle is the nerd.  Both have family secrets and dysfunctions.  When Brad is struggling to past one of his courses, he reaches out to Kyle for tutoring.  Kyle who has made it his goal in life to remain invisible until life finally decides to find him.  Through their time together, they find they have more in common than one would think.  Both are still struggling to define their sexual identity.  While Brad maybe more fearful of social exile than Kyle, Kyle is fearful of taking a chance on love.The book kept me guessing and I loved the unpredictability of it.  I'm eagerly waiting for the next book in the series.
