Publisher Description
Two young men fight to defend their love in this gay coming-of-age novel that won a Lambda Literary award!
My name is Connor Williams and people say I'm crazy. But that's not who I am. They also think I'm straight, and mean, and dangerous. But that's not who I am. The stories people tell—all those legends they whisper at school—they don't mean a thing. Only my mother and younger brother matter to me. Funny then that I find myself wanting to stand up for someone else. David Henry, the cute bookish guy who always keeps to himself, is about to get his ass beat by a bunch of dudes bigger than him. I could look away, let him be one more casualty of this cruel world… But that's not who I am.
Kamikaze Boys is a story of love triumphant as two young men walk a perilous path in the hopes of saving each other.
Customer Reviews
Kids to men...
I usually avoid books about “coming of age” or YA... But the premise for this book, where a misfit becomes the protector for a bully’s victim grabbed my interest. I found the characters endearing (maybe not Chuck), and I thought the family situations added to the whole struggle. The evolution of the storyline became almost hopeless, but the resolution was great. I even loved the very end that surprised me, but it just seemed to fit these two characters so well. Jay Bell has had my attention before, and this book was no exception.
Must read
If you aren't reading all of Jay Bell's books, you should be. This book is a great read with a few unexpected twists. Five stars for sure!
Kamikaze Boys
Jay Bell has done it again with this new love story. Very tender bits of romance with some very hot scenes dotted here and there. Never fails to satisfy...can't wait for the next one! Great read highly recommend for those who are suckers for a great romance :)
