4.0

I really enjoyed this one. The story was the usual 'boy who thought he was straight realizes he has feelings for his best friend'. But while the story is an overdone idea, the plot is quite unique.

The best friend wants to host a funeral, for himself, so that all his college-mates can say good things about him. Except it backfires...or does it?

The book is quite quirky and I enjoyed the characters. They really came alive to me and I found myself laughing out loud quite a bit. Loved the style.

I was all prepared to give this 5 stars...but then the end happened.

Not all glbtq books need to have a sex scene. It seemed just...wrong place, wrong time, and there was nothing hot about it at all to me. They were in a room where the funeral was going to be held. A ton of people had just walked out the door. The doors weren't locked (to my knowledge) and they 'did it' on the floor.

The plot may have been unbelievable, but it was written so I believed it could happen. But the sex at the end was unbelievable and I couldn't believe it.
