It’s easy to become cynical when life never goes your way.

Cole Reid has been a social recluse since he was fifteen, when he was outed by his high school baseball team. Since then, his obsessive-compulsive behavior and sarcastic nature have driven away most of the population, and everyone else hates him because he’s gay. As he sees it, he’s bound to repulse any prospective friends, let alone boyfriends, so why bother?

By the time Cole enters college, he’s become an anal-retentive loner—but it’s not a problem until his roommate graduates and the housing department assigns Ellis Montgomery to move in with Cole. Ellis is messy, gorgeous, straight, and worst of all, a jock!

During a school year filled with frat buddies, camping expeditions, and meddling parents, Cole and Ellis develop a friendship that turns Cole’s glass-half-empty outlook on its head. There must be more to Ellis than a fun-loving jock—and maybe Cole’s reawakening libido has rekindled his hope for more than camaraderie.

- This book was adorable with just the right amount of angst to keep your heartstrings in check! While I typically say away from First Person Perspective books I WILL read from Wade Kelly again. This was perfect!

- I went into this book thinking it was going to be a Rom/Com, but was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the story and characters. There is plenty of humor and I laughed out loud several times, but there was so much more to this book. Cole is quite snarky and wears his prickly armor tightly. I loved watching him open up and give into friendship and love. Ellis has some issue to work through of who he really is. He runs hot and cold with Cole, but once he commits its completely. I liked most of the side characters as they added to the story without taking over. I was a little disturbed by Ellis' mother, the woman needed therapy. The ending is super sweet and satisfying.

- This was a very cute and sweet story. I had a difficult time with some of the dynamics but perhaps I'm simply way too cynical in my old age. This was the first book of Wade Kelly's that I have read and overall it was enjoyable.

- Ellis and Cole are so sweet. It seems that Cole has people watching out for him and trying to help him out. The result is his new roommate soccer player Ellis. What follows is a great mix of humor, drama, and sweet exploring of emotions. Both seem surprised by their attraction to the other. I really enjoyed this story.

- This book was average for me. I would have liked it a lot more if the author hadn't told the story from the POV of Ellis' mom or his friends. It was a distraction from the relationship of Cole and Ellis. When Robs POV came up I was a little confused by the authors decision. The mothers POV just plain irritated me because it was totally out of the blue and unecessary to the story. I know Ellis was hurt, but this scene with his mother made him appear to be 12 not a 20 year old man in college. What 20 year old lets his mom keep his cell phone away from him for so long. This scene and Mike's POV put a damper on my enjoyment of this book.
  The book was well written and funny. I liked the MC's and was rooting for their relationship. I would have been better for the author to have stuck with the POV of the two MC's
