It Could Happen

Mia Kerick's It Could Happen is a fantastic menage between three high school boys.

Three seniors, Henry, Danny and Brody, are best friends. Three young men, all different and facing their own issues. They struggle with their feelings for one another, as well as homophobia, religious parents, and more. The three realize they want to all be together.

This tale is developed well, in an alternating journal and poem style by all three boys. We are given a clear view of each boy's feelings and struggles.

I loved this story, both because of the story itself, as well as the uniqueness of a menage with high schoolers.

Henry being closeted is well handled, as it's both realistic and gut-wrenching. He is damaged, as he wants the freedom to be himself, instead of being who his parents expect him to be. Some of this storyline is horrific to read about and will wreck your heart.

And Danny, oh dear lord, sweet Danny. The bullying he endures will positively wreck you.

As if it's not tough enough to be gay in high school, these three young men figure out they're gay, as well as discover their desire to be in a trouple. Yes, this plot hooked me immediately, but the delivery by Mia Kerick is superbly executed.

I highly recommend It Could Happen to any fan of Young Adult romance, as well as any fan of menage romances. It is simply beautiful.

This book is unconventional, different, and unique. If you like YA books with a twist, then this could be a great story for you to read.

The blurb for this book explains the plot very well. What I loved about it was how three completely different people can get along so well that they eventually grow to have feelings for each other that deepen into love. They risk it all to express their love for each other and it blossoms into the most fragrant and beautiful flower.

What I also loved about this book is not only are there diary entries, but Danny the artist and writer, has some of his poems in here as well. This makes for a very unique book.

The chemistry between the three very different boys makes them very compatible as well. Opposites Attract is true with them. They grow to love each other so much that they really do turn their back on society and even their families to stay together and to express their feelings for each other. That shows a lot of courage and is really great.

Their differences get them in trouble with others and within their group, but they have each other's back and their love for each other stretches out to help each other no matter what.

The pacing improved. Due to the three different styles in this book it was a little bit hard to get into in the beginning and the pacing was a little bumpy at first as well. However, once I got to the middle it improved a lot and I enjoyed it more.

The ending is great. The issues get resolved and everyone is happy and they do get to live happily ever after. The ending also calls for a part two which I hope there is one. Continuing the story with the guys in college. That would be great.

I do recommend this story. If you don't mind mmm and you like high school stories and you want something a little different and you love friendships that turn into lovers, then you will absolutely love this story.

I received this book in exchange for my honest review by Gay Book Reviews.
