Kevin and Gary discovered each other while playing baseball for Long River High School. In their last two years of high school, they had a very intense relationship, planning a life together. Upon graduation, contact was lost as they went separate ways: one to university and the other to the US Army. What follows is what happens when their paths finally cross forty years later.

Adam is a 14 year old boy living in a commune in the wilds of Oregon. The story deals with events during the summer as he becomes sexually aware and involved with Gabriel, who is a couple of months older.

Andy and Donnie have been friends since the beginning, growing up in the same neighborhood, sharing the same friends, and now playing football on the same team in middle school. They’ve been inseparable throughout it all; but now a new line has been inserted in the equation that is their lives, one they have to learn to deal with, or face having their friendship perish:

Love.

Obviously, this is a continuation of The Root Beer Boys and picks up where that story ended. Same characters, other relationships begin to develop among the boys.

A young man in reluctant thrall to his burgeoning sexuality. A best friend who doesn't understand why he's been pushed away. Two other young men, who may or may not be related, in the throes of a weird-but-friendly competition. A baseball card and a shell necklace and a reefer before the storm. A ruined shotgun shack. And, lastly, a psychedelic patchwork quilt. What do these things have in common? Free love.

Love takes off the masks that we fear that we cannot live without and know that we cannot live within. -James Baldwin

At sixteen, James has an almost perfect life. Then two boys enter his life and turn it upside down. Dion is a shy boy who James can't understand. Donovan is the star basketball player who James admires. Read how an incident with one boy will bring him closer to the other as masks are slowly removed.

Two boys from totally different backgrounds. Two different and equally dramatic histories. Two testing struggles. A tempestuous love affair in a provincial German town. Narrow-minded middle-class attitudes, venomous and hypocritical Catholic morality, archaic, harsh foreign prejudices. Street Art rebellion and a society basking in a false sense of security, ignoring the largest future natural disaster and the threat of war.

The book opens with two introductions and continues through a tumultuous series of events to a not quite inevitable conclusion!

After being kicked out of his drunk, abusive father's home for being gay, 22 year-old Stanley embarks on a road trip with two friends and an unlikely companion. Leaving his small Midwest hometown for the first time, he embarks on a journey of adventure down a highway of discovery.

A story of young love that buds in the 9th grade and grows from there. As much about the "father figure" as the bos.

Another Coming-of-age story. I am sure you are bored and tired of it already. But then, you have never heard of Sandy, a cute teenager in India and his growing secret crush on his classmate, the super hot and popular boy called Varun...blah, blah, blah. Ok, i agree, its not like you have never read or watched a story like that before, but then there is a twist in this story. In the world of Heartstopper & Young Royals, where same sex attraction is quite normal, we need a perception from India. Being the only gay boy who is filled with raging sexual hormones in your college can be complicated, isn't it?
