BLURB:
Ethan Leavitt is on a mission to reinvent himself at college, but he never thought that would involve joining a fraternity. For one thing, he’s gay, and for another, he was a total nerd in high school. Then during rush week, he and his best friend Jayson get stopped by Oliver, an insanely hot pledge chair at Tau Alpha Theta (ΤΑΘ).
ΤΑΘ welcomes all kinds of quality young men, Oliver explains, and their mission is to create a more inclusive society. Ethan’s skeptical, but Jayson pushes him along to a party that turns out to be pretty much the best night of Ethan’s life. Initiation is really fun, and just like that, Ethan has an amazing friend group, gay and straight. He’s feeling for the first time in his life he’s found a place where he belongs.
Things get a little strange when Ethan moves into the frat house annex and discovers the guys are running a reality-based porn website called Frat House Secrets. But it’s not so serious. Anyone who’s not comfortable doesn’t have to participate, and it’s mostly just walking around the house in the buff for the video feed. Going away to college is all about new experiences, right? It’s easy money and kind of fun.But someone’s watching Frat House Secrets, and they’ve got a score to settle with ΤΑΘ.
REVIEW:
A coming-of-age story about a young man entering college determined to change his image from a shy, always-feeling-left-out young man in high school to someone who has confidence and conquer-his-destiny-kind-of-attitude in college.
This is only my second book from this author. His writing and storylines are a little unique and that in itself is interesting for me.
I am a romance kind of reader but I do love a little mystery in my stories that is why this read was interesting for me. Ethan Leavitt has a goal of reinventing himself in college. But things aren’t as easy as he thought when it comes to changing oneself just like that. He meets someone who is just like him, Jayson. They became friends and decided to “not fit in” together. One day they were recruited by Oliver to join a fraternity and that is when their lives started to change.
College is a totally different life compared to high school. Here you become more independent as you most likely will be living far away from family. You can be who you are here. If you were shy and awkward in high school you can totally project or present yourself as confident and outgoing in college. It is a time for transformation for those kids who were outcasts in high school. But still there are times when you would still feel left out or alone. So when Ethan met Jayson, it was sort of finding a kindred spirit.
Joining a fraternity was never on his list of what to do in college but Ethan and Jayson were willing to try. Things started to become interesting when they joined Tau Alpha Theta. Things were not as it seemed inside the frat house than what you see outside.
A story without romance but full of mystery and friendship. A little different from my usual read but attracted me nevertheless because of its mystery and of course because of these young men who have every right to be who they are no matter what the circumstances are. Young men who tries to stay true.
If you love mysteries and coming-of-age stories then I highly recommend this read.
