Publisher Description
What happens when all your expectations are blown out of the water?
Max is finally meeting his his on-line gaming friend. 5t3ff is everything Max wanted in a girl, funny, kind and a good gamer. He's never felt such a connection with anyone and he's hoping that the friendship they have might move to something more. When 5t3ff turns out to be Stefan and not Stephanie, Max has to reassess his feelings. Or does he? Can love just be love, regardless of gender? And can the two boys ignore the labels long enough to find out?
A funny, quirky, thoroughly British story about two friends falling in love.

In an age where writers, myself included, think they need to up the anti and create extra drama, this is just a reminder that there is beauty in simplicity. I loved their love story.
Needs just a touch of dark to counteract all the light.
I downloaded this book and two others due to the number of review stars they had been given. Sadly, I was a quarter of the way through this one and I had to admit that I had lost interest. It’s a sweet story, but there are no fireworks, not even a small bonfire. For one of the main characters, there wasn’t even a moment of panic, denial or even questioning the fact that he is attracted to a man. The writer makes very light of the situation as if it’s no bid deal, when in reality, I would think that that kind of revelation would be somewhat mind-blowing, and something that you would have to come to terms with. So the story is just... nice. Pleasant. It’s very narrative driven which is not my favourite style of writing; I much prefer a lively dialogue which will tell me more about who the characters are than pages and pages of an inner monologue and contemplation.
I would like the story to have had a little more punch to it.
