Product Description

Product Description

Billy Bronner is, to all appearances, every inch the 1950s American dream: handsome, clever, captain of the high school football team, looks good enough in tight jeans that people can even forget he’s Jewish. Then the new guy on the block, the enigmatic Leonard Nachman, turns his head, and over the summer Billy discovers a new world of romance and love—in a man’s arms.

But when Kit O’Reilly, Billy’s best friend and shadow, comes home after spending the summer with relatives, he finds Billy acting… differently. Soon enough, it becomes obvious that this change is related to Len, and Kit will have to decide if he’ll accept the relationship Billy and Len have forged, or if he’ll push Billy and their longtime friendship away.

Sweet Summer of the 50s 26 Sep 2010
By Clannad Yenti - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I admit, the first few chapters take some getting used to - when Louise writes in the first person, she means more than just a point-of-view but also a language, a thought process, and a method. Once I caught on, I loved switching voices, seeing a situation or understand a recap from the other character's viewpoint. It never added too much, it was the right amount of depth, something Louise builds in a great story set in 1950s America. It's all really less about the cars/fads of the 50s, although there are a couple nice nods, but more about the tension built when the all-star football jock suddenly switches alliances and spends less time with his co-star football jock and instead disappears with a nerdy book-ish guy every moment you look around. Won't give you more than that, but highly recommend this read!

5 Hearts from TRS! 15 July 2010
By Tina Pavlik - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This was a wonderful story about love and friendship. The plot is well written and interesting, it moves at a moderate pace. The characters are engaging and have an innocence that seems to be lost in many of today's young people. I did have some trouble starting the story because it is told in the first person POV by the various characters in the story which did take some getting used to. But if you can get through it, this story is so worth it. It was really touching and at times almost heartbreaking to see how the various characters looked at the situation, especially since it was incredibly taboo to be gay in the 1950's. There are some m/m situations in the story but nothing explicit and in fact it helps give some depth to the characters and the era they are living in. I felt the author handled this very well. While I enjoyed seeing Billy and Len's relationship unfold, I would have to say my favorite part would be how Kit handles finding out the truth about their relationship. The author really captured Kit's feelings with humor and insight that allows empathizing with him. I would recommend this book to reader's young and old. - Ana

I wish I could say that I don't remember the 1950s, but unfortunately I do and Louise Blaydon describes it just like it was. Billy and Leonard knew you just didn't talk about "it". That's the way it was and Kit just didn't have a clue at first, but came to see that friendships came first. Well developed characters and a well developed and thought out story. Well done Ms. Blaydon.
