A heartfelt, laugh-out-loud-funny story of romance, family, and self-discovery.

Alek Khederian should have guessed something was wrong when his parents took him to a restaurant. Everyone knows that Armenians never eat out. Between bouts of interrogating the waitress and criticizing the menu, Alek’s parents announce that he’ll be attending summer school in order to bring up his grades. Alek is sure this experience will be the perfect hellish end to his hellish freshman year of high school. He never could’ve predicted that he’d meet someone like Ethan.

Ethan is everything Alek wishes he were: confident, free-spirited, and irreverent. He can’t believe a guy this cool wants to be his friend. And before long, it seems like Ethan wants to be more than friends. Alek has never thought about having a boyfriend—he’s barely ever had a girlfriend—but maybe it’s time to think again.

4 (Muito bom)

TW: homofobia e tentativa de aceitação
Eu achei esse livro muito bom, eu achei a história bem leve, e esse livro é bom para sair da ressaca, o personagem que a acompanhamos é uma adolescente certinho, fofo e atencioso e diferente do outro menino seu par romântico, mas também tem a família do menino certinho que não irá aceitar muito bem ele, por motivos da religião deles enfim isso, esse livro conta muitos pontos realistas sobre oq eu falei no começo: aceitação e muitos outros... dou 4 estrelas por motivos que o começo foi bem parado mas tirando isso foi muito bom.
