Short book that starts this series. Jamie and Brian are 90+% of the focus on the writing. A couple other girls fall for the boys and the boys pretend to like them, to cover their tracks. I was not liking the ultra-conservative Jamie parents and the setting of the book. But, there is this reality out there. I did not like the must-read-series-necessity style ending. I did not like Emma's end-of-book comment about revenge - I just don't want to read about revenge/drama. Hmm...
The love expressed between Jamie and Brian was great to see via their kissing and constant hand-holding. I liked how their story made plainly clear that these actions that are COMPLETELY acceptable between heterosexual couples are completely disallowed in their simplest forms between same-sex couples (in their community). It was great that these two boys reconciled that God still loved them and they were supposed to be together.
