The book is about three gay guys, Nelson, Jason and Kyle, who go on a road trip to California. Jason is traveling to California to speak at an alternative gay/lesbian high school. He lost his basketball scholarship because he “came out” to his basketball team. Kyle is Jason’s boyfriend. Nelson is Kyle’s best friend. Nelson is flamboyant. He has flaming pink hair. Nelson is constantly snapping his fingers and proclaiming “don’t go there girlfriend”. On their road trip they encounter variations of gay/lesbian people such as a s a boy living s a girl, a couple in a long term relationship, and gay bashers. I think this is a very good book because it is honest and fun at the same time. This was one of the best books I have ever read. I think that mature high school students would enjoy reading this book. Again, it was very enjoyable.
