But not once do any of these three young men let the cost make them deny that their love and their right to it are anything other than fair, equal, and real. Then, their brave defiance - their refusal to pretend they are anything other than in love, the same way any two people fall in love - and the bravery of the best friend, Freddie, who blazes the trail in the courtroom, who lets Tommy know that love will never be something to be hidden, regardless of the cost. Two young men in love the way you are only when you're young, trying to hide their illegal relationship only to have it exposed to the light. A young man with a teacher barely older than himself and their brief - far too brief - love affair. A young man who's somehow cynical and yet so, so innocent and optimistic. A young man with a hilariously sarcastic best friend in love with him, and struggling with it. But if you take the chance to read it, you will find a book about a young man brave enough to embrace his sexuality in 1955.
There is no real happy ending - It is VERY ambiguous. Absolutely incredible and based on factual events
