There was a lot of repetition of ‘ I love you’s’ and ‘it gets better,’ which became mildly annoying. It still had a forced tone about it, like author was using the story to highlight a cause and opinions around it. Then in the last half things got better, Kyle and Brad got their old spark back, and I found some chemistry with the narrative. It was also blindingly obvious that the authors hand was guiding the story in the direction he wanted it to go. The characters seemed to have gone backward and acting in unexpected ways. I must admit, I was very disappointed with the first half of this book. And that is what Tales From Foster High has continued to deliver with this fourth instalment ‘ End of the Innocence.’ I wanted real-life issues and a positive long-lasting relationship. Usually series fall into the fantasy genre. I look forward to a collection of contemporary stories following a gay couple, as I’ve pretty much only read standalones. I’m anticipating more challenges and a strong foundation to grow with this couple. One of their classmates needs their help-but Kyle and Brad’s relationship may be too new to survive the strain.Īfter falling in love with the angsty bind-up or the first three books in this series, all the drama that the two protagonists Kyle and Brad face, I went out and purchased the rest of the books in this collection. While the trials are far from over, they have their relationship to lean on. With Christmas break drawing closer, Kyle and Brad are changing their lives to include each other.
But there are only a few months of high school left, and Kyle doubts he can make a difference. No one expected him to become a poster boy for gay rights, either-at least not until Kyle stepped out of the closet and into the limelight. On the other hand, no one screamed obscenities at him in public when he was invisible.
On one hand, he now has a great boyfriend, Brad Greymark, and a handful of new friends, and even a new job. Kyle Stilleno is no longer the invisible boy, and he doesn’t quite know how he feels about it. A drama filled gay contemporary we can all learn from.
