    About this ebook

    Seventeen-year-old twins, Andrew and Andrea Morris, have always been close. They share everything—from their friends to a room—and they both enjoy star positions on their high school's soccer teams. All's right with the twins...or is it? When new student Ryder Coltrane moves from Texas to their small New York town, he spins Andrew's world upside down. All of Andrew's past relationship troubles begin to make sense and his true feelings start to click into place after Ryder comes out to him. His friendship with Ryder turns secretively romantic, but secrets, they soon find out, are hard to keep. Once rumors start to fly, so-called friends turn on them, and the boys' relationship turns into a bomb about to explode. But Andrew never expected it would be his own twin, Andrea, holding a lighter to ignite it.

    Jennifer Lavoie

    Jennifer Lavoie lives in Connecticut in the same city she grew up in. While growing up, she always wanted to be a writer or a teacher and briefly debated a career in marine biology. The only problem with that was she’s deathly afraid of deep water. Starting during a holiday season as temporary help, she worked in a bookstore for six years and made it all the way up to assistant manager before she left to take a job teaching. Jennifer has her bachelor’s degree in secondary English education and found a job in her town teaching middle school students. Along with another teacher and a handful of students, Jennifer started the first Gay-Straight Alliance at the school. She is also active in other student clubs and enjoys pairing students with books that make them love to read.

      I really liked Ryder and Andrew and would love to read more about them as they head to college and settle into their relationship. The twin aspect was interesting as I haven't read a lot of stories about negative reactions from close sibs when one comes out.

      I really disliked Andrea from the start. She came across as an entitled, short-sighted bitch from the very first page and she only confirmed my opinion of her as the book continued. Her redemption at the end felt a bit hastily done and didn't seem genuine or in keeping with her personality up to that point.

      I was kind of confused by the fade-to-black sex scene. To quote Burt Hummel, "something went down in the tent" but I'm still wondering exactly what.

      Andrew and his twin sister Andrea are pretty much inseparable. They both attend the same school, they both play soccer, and, for the time being, they even share the same room while Andrew’s is being remodeled. They share a lot of the same friends, they will attend the same college (if Andrea has any say in it) and they never keep secrets from one another — for the most part. There is one thing Andrew hasn’t told his sister. Despite the fact that he has never been without a girlfriend, Andrew is gay, and he can’t fight his attraction to newcomer Ryder Coltrane. As Andrew falls for Ryder and begins to deal with who he really is, he expects to face backlash from his peers — he just never expected one of the people who would treat him the worst would be his twin sister.For some reason I had it in my head that this book was going to be a bit darker than it actually was. I guess I still can’t get the powerhouse that was Kelley York’s Hushed out of my head. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed this book, I just wasn’t expecting it to be as light as it was (and by light I mean in comparison to how dark and twisty Hushed was.)That being said, I felt that Ms. Lavoie handles the topic very well, and she’s created a cast of easily likable and relatable characters. Andrew (Andy #1) is a wonderful character and I enjoyed his journey of self discovery. And even though Andrea (Andy #2) was a little psycho and controlling, I could understand where she was coming from, even though her reasons were very selfish.What I especially liked was that even though Andrew’s attraction to Ryder was pretty much immediate, this wasn’t a case of insta-love. Their relationship happened at a believable pace, growing from a close friendship into a deep attraction and an eventual romance. I never once doubted their feelings for one another or the depth of their relationship.This is a relatively short book, but I didn’t feel like anything was rushed or underdeveloped. The writing is fluid, and the story engaging. It definitely serves a purpose and is worth reading.
