Summary: Impact on my life is an understatement!
Review: This was one of the first 'Gay' themed books that I read after coming out 8 years ago. This book was so powerful, I can still vividly remember the scene on the bridge in my mind. A scene that Bette Greene, the Author, described so well that the image, and the actions still haunt in the back of my mind today.I so recommend this book to all.. Gay and Straight.. Young and Old... This is a fantastic story of Prejudice and Hate directed towards a group (a couple in this case) of people that are no different from anyone else, except they happen to love someone of the same sex. A book MUST be just so incredible so as to still haunt your thoughts so many years after reading it. I nearly get driven to tears when I remember the scene with Steven on the bridge. I will not say anymore about it just incase you have not read the book yet. Please.. PLEASE! Get this book! You will NEVER be sorry!!!

Summary: one big cliche
Review: Under advice from an acquientence at school I attempted to read this book-and ended up hurting his feelings by laughing at it. The gay couple in this story seem to fit every single stereotype of homosexuals available. I got nearly hysterical reading the descriptions of them.The main character was a weakling with no backbone who went along with everything Andy said just so he would like her.She was annoying and unlikeable.Also annoying and unlikeable is the writing style of this book.The author was obviously trying to write a novel showing today's teenagers the danger of hatred, which was a good idea. The plot was a good idea, it was the execution that was disappointing.
