Summary: lucky bye eddie de oliveira
Review: Ever wonder if you wern't straight? Sam did. All his life he had a funny feeling he wasn't like everyone else and that he might be bisexual. He had been scared for so long to tell anyone about his "confused gut" until he met a bisexual named Toby. Toby and him started to get close as friends because they could share their problems. Sam also feels feelings for Toby and he starts to realize he may like him more than a friend.
Everything was going great with them until Toby met a girl named Lucy and they started dating. When this happens , Sam realizes that he really does want Toby more than a friend and that he probably should talk to him. will he get the courage to talk to his "close friend?" Will he ever figure out his "confused gut?" I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good dramatic book and i would totally read this book again. *ashley*

Summary: Hilarious
Review: I loved this book! I laughed from cover to cover and found it really hard to put down. The characters were brilliant, the plot was exciting and the setting (England) provided a great background for this story to be told.

Summary: live without labels
Review: To label or not to label; that is the question. Everyone, at some time or another, asks themselves the question: Who am I? In this book, Sam - a British, football-playing teen, asks himself this question and finds there's no easy answer. Sam struggles with his friendships - from his new friend Toby, who nearly tells their football team that Sam might like boys, to the new hot girl, Lucy, who becomes more than just a third wheel. Sam does this all while hiding out on the toilet, pondering his own sexuality. Not only did this book made me laugh out loud, but Eddie De Oliveira's skill at examining the complex inner-lives of his characters moved me as well. I especially loved the moments where Sam connects with a boy across the field at a football match, and they develop an unspoken quasi-relationship after months and months of seeing each other and saying nothing. It is the hope displayed in these moments which moves LUCKY along, and makes you want to keep reading - to find out if Sam will actually say yes, and take that first step into learning who he really might be... even if it is without a label.
