SPOILERS IN THE REVIEWI actually think that reviewer Lasha described perfectly what I think about this book, but instead of just commenting on her review I decided to make it my own review because this book is a perfect example of why I think GFY trope could be so very offensive in my opinion. I think it can be beatifully and sensibly done too, just not in this book in my opinion. I was ready to scream more than once when I was reading it indeed and not just about who pitches and who catches. I was ready to scream when author made her characters say over and over AND OVER again how they do not want to do REALLY gay stuff, whatever that meant for them in any given moment. Or when one of the characters when they are getting ready to pose for the calendar and watch gay couple posing says that he is relieved that heavy duty gay action was over.Guess what you dolts? No matter how many times it is stressed that other naked guys do not turn you on you ARE gays or bisexual. If you are a gay guy it is my impression that maybe a person whom you are not attracted to does not have to turn you on, just as every guy does not have to turn me on as straight woman.Oh let's not forget the "he has gay friends" thing and how those gay friends according to one of them are TWINKS which is translated as effeminate men with swimmer physique, contrary to what our characters are.Oh I can go on and on. Yes, sex is hot, no book in my view is still horrible.And those are smart boys, yes? Studying to be pharmacist and another one is supposed to go to prestigious Ivy League business school? One would think their vocabulary would be a little bit more diversed.
