stenaros 's review for:
The Girl Next Door
by Amy Jo Cousins
Book three in the Bend or Break series reunites us with Cash, dumb jock, good friend and scene stealer from Off Campus. Cash is living in Chicago, having finished college and fled Boston and the cushy job in his father's firm he was never cut out for. He's happy being poor, working for a sports nonprofit and living his own life. Then his seventeen year-old cousin Denny shows up, newly out and fleeing his parents response to his sexuality.
Making sure Denny feels safe pushes him to reunite with college friend and late-night hookup Stephany Tyler, who may be the girl who got away. As I've come to expect from Amy Jo Cousins, there is a lot of hot sex, as well as lot of really awesome character growth. And it's fun to hang out with that still-rare phenomenon the straight guy who is so comfortable in his sexual identity that he doesn't mind if anyone thinks he's gay, and is okay exploring other things. Also? We get to see how Tom and Reese from Off-Campus are doing.
