Publisher's Summary

Christopher Rush is not gay.

But after a breakup with his longtime girlfriend, he finds himself crossing swords with his best friend Jeremy Pratt. Who's also not...gay.

It was a one-time thing.

It didn't mean anything.

They like girls.

At least, that's what these boys of summer tell themselves as they pretend it wasn't more than experimentation. With only four weeks left before they leave town for college, Christopher and Jeremy awkwardly navigate their way through a series of unfortunate (or very fortunate) events. Often leaving them breathless, conflicted, and dressed in nothing but a pair of socks.

Because socks are less gay.

As their time together comes to an end, will Christopher and Jeremy accept that love doesn't discriminate, or will they put their swords up for good?

A little Hilarious

Hilarious - the internal dialogue mostly. And cute. A little violent - which makes sense kinda. If you've ever been around teenage boys you know that fist fights are a standard. And a lot of alcohol.

Knuckleheads in love!

Christopher and Jeremy are a pair of immature knuckleheads about to finish school and head interstate to college - guys who are always wrestling, insulting, and punching each other. They’ve been friends forever and have girlfriends but start to develop feelings for each other. This was a guilty pleasure: there was plenty of humour and tender moments, but I could have done without the misogyny and internalised homophobia. All I can say is that they are on a journey, a LONG journey, to adulthood. Michael Mola narrates extremely well but the audio lacks quality and editing.
