A review by pontiki
Fever Pitch by Heidi Cullinan
4.0
Giles and Aaron are at a high school where neither belong. Giles has been beaten up for being gay, while Aaron is popular but no one really cares about him.
They find each other at a party, hook up, then part ways. Aaron knows he messed up so he goes to the same college as Giles, but each of them have huge fears to overcome before they can be together.
Once they clear up misunderstandings, they forge a relationship out of the friendship they’ve put time into and the work they’ve done in all the musical clubs.
The book takes a serious turn when Aaron’s parents kick him out for choosing the “wrong” major, and he learns he’s not alone. He then lends his support to his gay roommate, whose parents are religious fanatics.
So much utter joy in descriptions of songs and music, such tragedy and pain the kids go through with their families and society in general.
The first half of this book was really only about 2.5 stars, lots of teen angst and not very deep. But, as the rest unfolded, it became more real, difficult but also hopeful.
I love Walter, Kelly, Aaron, Giles, all the White House guys, and Elijah too.
So, overall, this is a really well written novel and worth the effort.
