Boyfriends with Girlfriends by Alex Sanchez

3.0

2.5 Less a romance novel and more a friends angst with friends in minute detail over every aspect of each's burgeoning relationships. Interesting in that both friend pairs are boy/girl—a gay boy and a straight girl who finds herself becoming bi-curious, and a bi-boy and a gay girl. Told almost entirely in dialogue, with very brief lines of narrative. Reminded me of 1970s YA, written mostly in dialogue. But then again, exactly the opposite; in those books, dialogue was oblique, making the reader work really hard to fill in the gaps, whereas here dialogue spells every character's passing feelings in excruciatingly painful detail. Rather dull, alas.
