message 1: by Lilliana (new)

Lilliana Tony's sudden change from going gay to liking Vanessa? And both characters being super intrigued by Vanessa also got on my nerves, but maybe that's just me considering I wasn't too hot on Vanessa's character anyway.

Anyone else agree?


message 2: by Sam (new) - rated it 5 stars

Sam I'll admit I found it odd at the time, but by the end of the book, I never really gave it another thought. As for both boys falling hard for Vanessa, that's just so common in books, I ignore it now :)


message 3: by Jennifer (new) - added it

Jennifer I agree with both of you. I didn't like Vanessa too much, and I am so used to the 'fake romance/lust' in books these days that I try to ignore it.


Alec John I just thought the book was off. Tony, yes, was gay because of what happened to him, but what she did just makes people think gays can change like he did, instead of encouraging the fact that sometimes they can't.

Emily I honestly think Vanessa should have chose one guy, not lead two on. She played it all wrong in my eyes. Which bothered me throughout the book.


Alec John Yeah agreed


Colby I'm not quite sure what was going on in Tony's mind, but I think that gays can get confused about their sexuality or what they like...I don't think Tony turned straight. I think maybe he was bisexual, but I don't think that he was straight.


Fatema I didn't like Vanessa at all -.- She shouldn't have played them.

Destiny Gaspard ?


Angelica Thompson yeah I actually wanted her to end up with connor, although tony was funny I wasn't to hot on him


message 15: by Maya (new) - rated it 3 stars

Maya Pankratz I think it was all a part of recovering and realizing in therapy that his homosexuality was really more of how he was raised than how he actually felt towards others.


Lilac I thought it was stupid, the whole thing about both the boys liking her. Like, can't boys just be friends with a girl without wanting to be with her, omg.


notyourfriend I called it. Besides, Tony and Vanessa showed they were getting better.


Lilac Also, I think the author was trying to make sure Vanessa had SOMEONE, what with (view spoiler) and all.


message 19: by Tosh (new) - rated it 5 stars

Tosh .0 I honestly thought that Tony was bisexual or he thought he was gay since he did got molested by men when he was younger or he could be confused.


Michelle Sanchez I honestly thought that Connor would be getting better at end, Vanessa and Tony both seem like friends towards middle of the book but the friendship changes....


Sarah Tony suddenly realizing he wasn't gay was perhaps one of the strangest episodes I've ever read in a book. People don't wake up and decide their sexual orientation has "changed". I almost feel as if the author hadn't planned ahead, and toward the end of writing, decided she wanted Tony to end up with Vanessa. Totally ridiculous. It decreased the entire quality of the book for me.


Dylon While I understand what the author was trying to do i wasn't fond of the idea of tony turning gay. there is the reason that I feel like it gives people a false since of choice in the whole being gay situation. However I also didn't mind a whole lot. By the end of the book my only big problem with it was Vanessa. I feel as though it his kind of partly her fault that Conner did what he did. I mean he saw how she chose the gay guy over him that would be pretty disheartening.
