Review: Really trite coming out story
Rating: 1 out of 5

This really should be billed as adolescent fiction the characters are final year college students coming to terms with their true nature as gay.  The story is implausible, does anyone really sleep cuddling their best friend for four years and not realise they are gay?  Written to appeal to stereotypical gay fantasy figures two college football jocks fall in love, at the same time reinforces negative stereotyping with descriptions such as twinks.  A very short read less than a hundred pages on kindle neither worth the money time or effort.  Fundamentally unsatisfying. Sexist comment maybe but I really am not sure how a female author can write effectively about gay male themes, has to contain a strong element of voyeuristic smut.  Evangeline should leave it to the men. Cardboard cut out characters, supposedly intelligent soon to be graduates using language and having thoughts more appropriate to grade school than soon to be professional people.  One to forget!
