Interesting storyline

Dealt realistically with LGBT issues

Didnt get to know the characters deep enough (0 more)

Follows the life of a male high school student, Simon, who is currently disguising that he is gay. He then finds comfort in an online friend who is struggling with the same problem. Simon then endeavours to find out who his online recipient is, while all along trying to keep his sexuality a secret.

I enjoyed watching popular film with an LGBT main character.
Simon is a lovable and an easily relatable teenager.

Album Favorite

"I had been a rather reluctant punk as a teenager, finding the whole movement too aggressive for a Peterborough gay boy, so this I suppose more commercial offering from Siouxsie was much more up my street - and consequently, as with all my favourite teen angst albums, I learnt all of the songs inside out and backwards. Siouxsie has an incredible voice and was one of my first live concerts, alongside Joe Jackson. We were later to bump into her at Sire Records in NYC but I was too nervous and shy too say 'Hi'."

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Facing West (Forever Wilde, #1) in Books

Huh

don't think I ever really got into this, which surprised me considering I normally like my gay romances with babies in them. Maybe its because she never got a chance to shine like all those other children did.

Never the less, I liked the fact that Nico was different with his ink and hair and that West looked past it all to the person underneath but it still did very little for me in the romance aspect of the story.

I don't think I'll be continuing the series.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Dangerous Ground (Dangerous Ground, #1) in Books

Dangerous Ground I like Josh Lanyons books, this was no exception but I didn't like it as much as some of his other works.This was an interesting read, what with them both being openly gay but not wanting to be together in case it ruined their friendship and partnership of three years, with a kind of mystery plotline. The way the mystery was written in was very good in my opinion and I was intrigued as to what would happen after.However I think the ending was a little too abrupt for my liking.
