BLURB

Will Lafferty and Kenny Scalia are both having sort of a day. Will gets fired for letting fifth graders read Harry Potter, and Kenny finds his boyfriend and his sex toys in bed with a complete stranger. When Will knocks over Kenny's trash can-and strews Kenny's personal business all over the street-it feels like the perfect craptastic climax to the sewage of suckage that has rained down on them both.

But ever-friendly, ever-kind Will asks snarky Kenny out for a beer-God knows they both need one-and two amazing things occur: Kenny discovers talking to Will might be the best form of intercourse ever, and Will discovers he's gay.

Their unlikely friendship seems like the perfect platonic match until Will reveals how very much more he's been feeling for Kenny almost since the beginning. But Kenny's worried. Will's newfound sexuality is bright and glittery and shiny, but what happens when that wears off? Is Will's infatuation with Kenny strong enough to stay real?
 
REVIEW
 
 Audible (Narrator : Tyler Stevens)

The voice, damn great ! Tyler Stevens is perfect for this book.

This is how Amy Lane roll, either the book is crazy sad with crazy twist, or crazy funny and fluffy! Name it, you'll get both.
And lots of her MCs are NOT perfect. They're not handsome, clumsy, having disabilities, nerd....just...you know... 'human'.
This story is no exceptional. Will with his square face, nerd, too tall. While Kenny is just an average 'not too tall' and just found out that his living in boyfriend having sex with someone else. Great.
The meeting between Kenny and Will, let's say, they will never forget it forever.

This book is freaking funny, sweet, so down to earth. And we can imagine it's what happen in real life. I still believe in love at first sight. Although Will didn't understand what it is, not until re realized that he's falling in love with Kenny at a first sight....months later. Ouch !

Thing is, Kenny also didn't realized that. Not until he tried to be 'friends with Will forever and didn't want to ruin their friendship' with trying to date someone, and Will didn't let him.
Oh well...there guys were just too clueless about their feelings, or need some good communication skills. Either of those.

This is fluffy, but full of life lesson. There's when near the ending, I was crying. Yep. Cry.
The ending though...It was EPIC!

I have no idea why I keep waiting to read this, glad I can finally met Kenny and Will. In my eyes, they're PERFECT!

Highly recommended !
