While I enjoyed reading about these guys, I don't think there's anything about the book that really sets it apart from others. It uses the popular trope of the nerd hooking up with the jock, which is a classic for a reason. That alone provides plenty of drama and conflict, especially when coupled with coming out. I was less than thrilled with the insta-love, and wish they'd gotten to know each other even a little bit before professing their feelings for one another. There was also a lot of telling regarding thoughts and feelings (is there a term for this? I'm finding myself complaining about overexplanation of characters' thoughts very often these days), during which I got bored waiting for something to happen.
I really liked Kyle, and found myself laughing and grinning at many of his witty retorts, though I found it slightly difficult to believe that someone so unused to social interaction would be able to come up with them on the fly. Brad, however, seemed like all he had going for him were his looks, so he has some growing to do before he can win me over. He seemed to be moving in the right direction in the third story, so we shall see.
I pretty much agree with everything Susan said in her review, and she loved the next book in the series, so I will definitely give it a go.
