Coming
from a small town, Kelly worried about coming out. He hoped that things would be easier, once he
made it to Hope College , but it’s turning out to be
harder than he thought. To top
everything off, he suddenly has a roommate he knows nothing about.
Heidi
Cullinan has written another great story, Love
Lessons. This story takes place on a
college campus and centers around Kelly and Walter. These two characters are as different as you
could expect and that is one of the things that make this story so
interesting. Kelly’s family is close and
hard working. While not rich, his
parents try to make sure that the family has everything that it needs. Kelly is also innocent in many ways and hopes
that he will find his Disney ending while at college. Walter is the exact opposite. His family is well off but so dysfunctional that
he could not wait to get back to school.
Whatever closeness that may have existed in his family left a long time
ago. Afraid to get close to anyone,
Walter only looks for Mr. Right Now and has no problems being seen as the
campus Casanova.
These
two complement each other wonderfully and, right from the start, the readers
can see the changes coming over Walter.
The author did a wonderful job bringing the men to life and I could not
help but be drawn into their story.
While a friendship blossoms between the men from the beginning, it takes
awhile for anything else to start. I
liked the learning time the men had, especially as it gave Kelly a little time
to come out of his shell. Being in a
relationship is not always easy for them, as neither man has the experience to
know what they are doing. As the reader
can imagine, this does cause a few issues and to make things just a little more
crazy for the two young men, the author threw in a few outside issues to
contend with.
