About this eBook
Seventeen-year-old Luke Chesser is trying to forget his spectacular failure of a love life. He practices marching band moves for hours in the hot Texas sun, deals with his disapproving father, and slyly checks out the new band field tech, Curtis Cameron. Before long, Luke is falling harder than he knew he could. And this time, he intends to play it right.
Since testing positive for HIV, Curtis has careened between numbness and fear. Too ashamed to tell anyone, Curtis can't possibly act on his feelings. And Luke--impulsive, funny, and more tempting than he realizes--won't take a hint. Even when Curtis distances himself it backfires, leaving him with no idea how to protect Luke from the truth.
Confronting a sensitive topic with candor and aplomb, acclaimed author J. H. Trumble renders a modern love story as sweet, sharp, and messy as the real thing, where easy answers are elusive, and sometimes the only impossible thing is to walk away.

I love this book It addresses some problems happen within not just normal
families but families with gay members. The support from family and the
love one are what needed the most for any problem. The love story of the
two character grows naturally, lovely, and dramatically in my opinion.
There are parts make me want to quit reading because of of what they do.
However, that is what makes it so real and satisfying. Lastly, it is cute
and meaningful. Make my mind more opened about love and how to sacrifice
for true love.

This book was not what I expected, I didn't find it deliberately, I just stumbled across it. And I'm so glad I did! The characters and story melted my heart!

As a 30 year survivor, it amazes me on how some things never change.
