But while there are some sweet moments, the story began to come across to me as preachy and judgmental To be honest, some parts of this book left me feeling belittled and upsetBeing someone who

written in first person POV, present tense..this story demands your attention This is not a fluffy romance This is a story, about a guy who meets his soulmate his same sex soulmate and from that

and falls for himgood right.Yeah not so much.Henry annoyed me to tears, he thought he was very open about his feeling for Ty he kept bringing up how liberal his upbringing was , until he actually thought about it..he didn t want any one to know about Ty, he went back to his psycho stalker ex girlfrie I think ...I wish I could give this book a billion stars I can t put into words how beautiful it was Nothing I ve tried to come up with will do it any justice It s so positive and uplifting towards the LGBT community that I just want to shout about it to everyone on the street I think everyone

no le doy rating porque no s c mo ser el libro, pero la primera conversaci n me ha parecido tan poco creible que no me apetece seguir.Straight by Seth King, is a love story like no other, and just like a lot of Seth s other books, I will never be the same after reading it This is the story of a chance encounter of 2 people on a bus and the mutual attraction is there from start You are probably thinking I ve read lots of insta love stories , but believe me when I tell you, this is a love story like nothing I ve ever read before Ty is gay and Henry is straight, or so he thought Straig...
