This is by far and away my favorite novel-length story on GA. There are so many stories centered around jocks in gay literature, but in Cross Currents, the characters feel so authentic. There were times over my reading of Cross Currents where I wanted to punch Andy, hug Andy, cry for Andy, and fuck Andy. Never before in any story I've read (gay or mainstream) have I ever felt this way about a character. The fact that Andy comes off as so real (and is essentially actually real) makes you really able to feel with him throughout so much of the story.
It is so worth the time to read, and you'll be an emotional wreck by the time its over (and I mean that as nothing but a pure compliment).
