《The Book Club》Mr. Lone Boy

Two in one day. It's a fucking party.
So... I honestly don't know why I've been stating the title twice?? Like, it's the chapter name you dummy. Oh well.
:
ou can't like him, you just can't!"
"I know. It's wrong, but it's how I feel and I can't freaking control that."We've all heard the phrase 'The heart wants what it wants' or 'You can't control how you feel', and according to Nate, his life is just an example of that.
I've read this twice. That honestly should be enough information right there.
But I'll go ahead and talk about it :)
This is going to be very hard not giving anything away...
I just want to start out by saying that I love a good cliche about a gay man falling in love with his straight best friend. I don't know why, I just do. Honestly I thought this was going to be the normal straight-turned-gay romance, but I was totally wrong. (And y'all know I don't post any ordinary fucking books on here- these are all unique) Completely and utterly WRONG. But in a good way.
To say I was shocked would be an understatement, but I couldn't be happier with the turn of events. You follow a journey of unrequited love, lies, and over all the harsh road to happiness (holy shit I sounded way too sappy).
Sometimes, when you've finished a book you're like "Eh, it was good". But when you read this all the way to end you'll be like "Hell yeah, baby!"
Just read it. Honestly.

There is no need for erecting walls, as the biggest divide created by humanity - that of social class - takes care of a post modern segregation. The poor are literally marginalized into slum-like townships and tend to be of color. The names of these townships would be enough to tell you their story. The rich, well, remain happily oblivious in the big American cities. In this world find a mysterious girl whose identity must be hidden or she would be hunted down and a young street actor who falls for her intrigue. Discover how they survive, born into a society not prepared to give them a chance.For them, the dystopia came without an apocalypse.
