Love, like everything in the universe, cannot be destroyed. But over time it can change.The hot Texas nights were lonely for Ben before his heart began beating to the rhythm of two words; Tim Wyman. By all appearances, Tim had the perfect body and ideal life, but when a not-so-accidental collision brings them together, Ben discovers that the truth is rarely so simple. If winning Tim’s heart was an impossible quest, keeping it would prove even harder as family, society, and emotion threaten to tear them apart.

Meh~Just meh~ This book is basically two books sold as one. Part 1 on its own would have gotten 3 stars from me. It was okay, kind of uninspiring YA, but it steered away from all the melodrama I was expecting. That counts for something.I'm a strong believer in judging YA-themed stories by the adult characters. Our cast in Something Like Summer includes many of the usual cliches: Rich Neglectful Parents, Abusive Controlling Tyrants, People So Liberal in Child Rearing It Borders on Criminal*1.5 stars* HOLY CRAP. This book exhausted me in every way. This isn't going to be a review, review. I'm simply just going to blurt out some thoughts. Some will be spoiler-tagged. *Help me organize my thoughts, Beyoncé*Tim is an obsessed, narcissistic stalker. All of that stuff he did to Ben and Jace in Ben's college years. *fumes* I see some of my fellow readers loving Tim, but I can't even COUNT the number of times I've bitch-slapped him in my head. His face is all red and ugly looking right
I read this in 2012, and the review below is for the ebook I read.In 2016 I listened to the audio and then decided to re rate it to 5 stars. I think because this book made me yell at the characters for their choices. When I'm so emotional invested that I'm yelling at the characters, for me that's should be 5 stars.I think the difference is in audio. I LISTEN closer to the story when I'm listening than reading. When I read-only I read slow, and sometimes I skip things. I'm not a very good reader,
SLIGHTLY PREDICTABLE BUT A WELL-WRITTEN ROMANCE BOOK. BUDDY READ with John and Lili: Lili's reviewI had a hard time rating this and also might have a hard time reviewing it. I wanna say a lot of things!!! But I will cover those that's on the top of my mind. BenPART 1:I loved this part! If the book was just this, I can give a 4-5 star rating! I loved both Ben and Tim here. It was honest and even though what they had (view spoiler)[didn't end well. I'm okay. I was sad, but okay. They were
***Audio edition re-read***Just as good as the first time. Ben and his two great loves. Neither is better than the other and neither is stronger than the other. Just different. Different, but equally perfect and fitting for Ben.__________________________________________This is a review for both Something Like Summer and Something Like Winter since I don't see a way to talk about one without the other. Why couldn't people's insides match their outsides? The world would be such a wonderful place
I'm going to spoil the whole book, so don't continue reading if you mind. Also swearing.HOLY FUCK, was that frustrating. You know, I thought I'd hit off Pride Month with a cute, heart-wrenching gay romance. Well, think again. Instead of cute, I got creepy. Instead of heart-wrenching, I got head-banging on the table. Almost every second page I just had to pause to cool down. At some point I actually thought it would get better now. HA HA HA no. It just got worse. I thought this would be a cute
2.5 Stars.Here. *hands over GR membership card* Its at this point that its clear IM the issue. Everyone LOVED this book. Me? Im just barely above strongly disliking it. Ill try to do this without any major spoilers:* I didnt find teenaged Ben or Tim to be that likeable or charming. * The entire Part 2 portion was slow and boring.* I hate love triangles.* Adult Tim is creepy, overbearing, desperate, borderline pathetic and a stalker.* Adult Ben is irresponsible, overly emotional, inappropriate,
