The story of two teenage boys who fall in love, set in the rural south of America.
The book is at first very sweet, attaching little importance to the unusual fact that it is a love story between two boys. Throughout the book, more and more signs point to a dark undercurrent- the reader becomes more and more uneasy as the story builds to the truly shocking climax. I think it's a good book, although it is quite unsettling and at times downright disturbing, although I did find it an interesting look into people's attitudes and reactions towards homosexuality in this notoriously conservative, Christian part of the world.
