Ben is gay and a non-athletic geek with above average intelligence. He has crushed on an unattainable jock he has seen out jogging in his neighbourhood. He is out and beyond notice in his clique in high school but will this jock notice him even were he a closeted gay? The premise behind this book is rather far-fetched and demands major suspension of disbelief to work.
Tim's parents are too typical of a wealthy couple who really didn't intend to have children but slipped. They give him everything including his good genes, his Camaro, but they do not give him themselves.
Ben's sister is a babblermouth. His parents are tolerant of his boyfriend sleeping over and even open about facilitating their relationship.
Out and proud geek teen and closeted jock. How do you expect this to go? But what happens when they meet up later in life?
This ends in a love triangle of the homoerotic kind. By the end I'd lost interest and was just glad it was over.
