About this listen

Seventeen-year-old Joel can't be gay if he's straight

After four years of living with relatives in Switzerland, 17-year-old Joel Scherzenlieb finds himself in the United States for the summer, working at a Boy Scout camp. There, he meets 19-year-old Corey Cobbett, a fellow counselor and the only person Joel wants to be friends with. Soon, Joel's sarcastic, distant CIA father shows up and whisks him away to live with his mother, grandmother, and older sister on a farm in Virginia - he's not going back to Switzerland after all. As his father pleads poverty and his dreams of going to college vanish, Joel faces his longest year yet. But everything changes when Corey returns to his life, bringing with him the discovery and excitement of reciprocal love.

This book is one of the very, very few that I had to not finish :( It was so boring and jumped spo much in time I got whiplash! Furthermore, it completely glassed over the two main characters first time together and their time after. So confusing.

So boring!
