More Info



John Galardi (Giovanni, or Gio for short) is a little less than normal boy who has never really had friends. He’s never really liked girls, he even doubted for a while that he might be gay. Brian, his only “friend” is obsessed with becoming popular and making something out of himself, but John… isnt. That is until he meets the author of his favorite zine Escape Velocity, Marisol, a self proclaimed “rich spoiled lesbian private-school gifted-and -talented writer virgin looking for love”. John starts making new friends and feels he never felt before.  But what happens when he starts falling for the one person who’s ever fully understood him? Mostly when she’s a lesbian.

This book was really good, but mostly just for a quick read. The plot was a little repetitive and started with a boring beggining, and honestly didn’t really get much better. It is really amusing at times, I’ll admit. I mean its pretty funny that the one girl he’s ever liked, ends up being a lesbian. This book was nice but I really wouldn’t  recommend it for people who don’t really have the focus to ride out the boring parts.
