Fanfiction is usually free. You can find better stuff there
Once upon a time, I read Star Wars slash fanfiction. That was a lot better than this. I don't quite know what the author was going for here, as the story leans too far into plot and exposition to be a "romance" novel (not a bad thing, if the plot wasn't just a vehicle for the romance), and the erotica was less than erotic. I've read female authors who could write believable gay characters, but this isn't one of them. These characters interact more like men in Japanese yaoi, which is to say, you could sub one of the men with a woman and have the same story. I would be more generous (considering one character is a shapeshifting alien with no true gender) but her author's bio specifically states she writes gay erotica. So let's be clear: this is gay erotica for women. So if you're a lady who fetishizes gay men, this is in your wheelhouse. If you're a gay man, probably avoid this one, unless you really have a thing for sci-fi and lizardmen.
Circling back around, of course the title is attention grabbing. And the story is short enough to be fun. Both characters are obnoxious, but not so much that you can't sit two or three hours with them. The story employs standard tropes, including using rape as a dramatic crutch. If that's your thing, you'll probably enjoy this and also what's wrong with you?

How about that - a nice little twist on the classic romantic comedy genre. Here we get boy meets boy, boy loses boy, boy gets boy! You can read my full review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/01/03/a-fine-gay-romance/

My Moms’ DIY Gay Wedding
Abertalli just keeps fleshing out this web of relationships she has created, starting with her novel Simon Vs. the Homosapian Agenda. In this installment of the not-a-series series, Molly Peskin-Suso is struggling with the possibility of rejection, her relationship with her twin sister, and planning her moms’ wedding in under three months! It was refreshing to see the event that we are leading up to in a realistic YA novel be a gay wedding and not a prom.
Edit: Also I cried, I haven’t done that in a while.

I was very lucky and won this dvd in a competition (: so here is my review.
I enjoyed this film, especially trying to work out who Simon’s email friend Blue is. I found the characters quite relatable, particularly when Simon acted like any normal teenager and became far too wrapped up in his own life to be a good friend.
I love that this film deals with being gay and how it is perceived and has a gay lead instead of some side character to try and be PC.
I enjoyed the storyline and development throughout the film, especially the ending, who doesn’t love it when everyone is happy.
