When you’re in love with the wrong person for the right reasons, anything could happen.
Tretch lives in a very small town where everybody’s in everybody else’s business. Which makes it hard for him to be in love with his straight best friend. For his part, Matt is completely oblivious to the way Tretch feels – and Tretch can’t tell whether that makes it better or worse.
The problem with living a lie is that the lie can slowly become your life. For Tretch, the problem isn’t just with Matt. His family has no idea who he really is and what he’s really thinking. The girl at the local bookstore has no clue how off-base her crush on him is. And the guy at school who’s a thorn in Tretch’s side doesn’t realize how close to the truth he’s hitting.
Tretch has spent a lot of time dancing alone in his room, but now he’s got to step outside his comfort zone and into the wider world. Because like love, a true self can rarely be contained.

About Aimee
Aimee loves being a little bookworm (okay–she doesn’t like being little). She also loves chocolates and sweets but is freaked out by the thought of possibly getting diabetes.
I hadn’t heard of this book but was hooked with that first sentence in the synopsis…and that cover. ;)

Haha, not gonna lie, I’m definitely more drawn to books when I think the cover model is cute. :P But regardless, this book sounds great. I love best friend crushes too, and the world needs more books about gay teens being teens and growing up.

You are so right, Aimee! It sounds like an amazing read, both because Matt is not being true to himself and his feelings, and because of the small town where everybody else wants / needs to know what other people are up to all the time. Adding to my TBR :)
