When sixteen-year-old Lang has the chance to spend the summer at the ritzy East Hampton estate of retired rock star Ben Nevada, he's pretty sure that it will be the summer of a lifetime. But what Lang doesn't expect is that in addition to hobnobbing with the rich and famous of the rock world, he'll find himself coming out about his homosexuality to his childhood friends, reevaluating his relationship with his boyfriend, Alex, and--most surprising of all--falling in love with a girl. From the award-winning author of "Deliver is From Evie, " this is a powerfully moving novel of a young man's struggle to come to terms with his sexuality, his emotions and ultimately himself.
"This book successfully challenges readers' assumption, breaking them down to offer more hopeful, affirming ideas about love and truth, "
-- "Publishers Weekly"
"The author has again crafted a story that forces readers to examine theirs own ideas of contentment, attraction, and love. In this excellent novel, nothing is portrayed as simple black or white, right or wrong, and each character comes alive by doing what readers least expect."
