Book 1) Review :
One of the first thoughts I had as I started reading this book was how nice it felt to read such lovely and clear English prose. Unfortunately, that feeling didn't last. This author should respect his readers enough to have his work properly proofread and/or edited. Here are just a few examples of the lexical and grammatical errors that I ran across:"It had began" (correct: "It had begun")"back-peddled" (correct: "backpedaled")"girls and boys locker rooms" (correct: "girls' and boys' locker rooms")"blackeye" (correct: "black eye")"en" (correct: "Ben")And numerous other such errors, typos, missing words, incorrect prepositions, and oddly formed sentences. In general, whenever I read the simple past tense of a verb used in place of a past participle I just want to scream! It might be (barely) ok to let it slide in speech, but never in writing. A professional editor would have found these issues easily. Even trash novels that are properly edited lack these kinds of issues. I wasn't expecting great literature here.The story itself was sweet and I tried to enjoy it despite my disappointment with the lack of proofreading. I liked the characters and how they evolved over time. The issues that arose between the boys/young men were realistic, I thought. Ben became more reflective and less reactive over time. I'm interested in learning more about Tim's character, so I may read another of the books. I thought the ending was great, though perhaps rushed. As soon as I started reading Something Like Summer, I was immediately sucked into the story of Benjamin Bentley. He is such a well-developed character that I’m not convinced he isn’t real. He is witty, passionate, quick to act in ways that seem brave but are actually rooted in lack of restraint, self-aware, and determined to be happy one way or another.Benjamin has been openly gay since he was 14 at a time when this was a rarity (mid 1990s). The book begins in the summer before Ben’s Junior year in high school. He encounters a new guy in his neighborhood who takes daily runs through the park. Ben makes a point of secretly watching (stalking) him. But when school begins, it becomes evident that Tim Wyman is not gay and he is quickly becoming friends with the people who bully Ben. Most boys would give up, but Ben is tenacious and willing to take risks which might pay off in the long run (or might get him into a world of hurt).The only problem is that Tim Wyman isn’t as willing to take risks, perhaps because his family isn’t nearly as loving as Ben’s. Tim has been raised very differently, the consequences of which neither boy at age 16 can fully appreciate. They each push the other to change in ways that would make it easier on themselves, not the other. The result is disastrous but completely understandable given their circumstances.As a reader, I wanted things to work out for the two of them. I wanted it to be obvious and easy because that’s what we all want when it comes to love. But nothing about this story was obvious or easy. But it still kept me reading, not necessarily because of the love story, but because I wanted to know what would happen to Ben.The Something Like… series is written more like a collection of biographies than a collection of love stories. Yes, romance happens, sex happens, break ups and patch ups happen. But Jay Bell writes about the lives of very distinct, realistic characters, which span a decade or more. Each book in the series is about a character which has already been introduced in the other books.In Something Like Summer, I wasn’t sure if I really liked Tim Wyman or if I believed him. Early on in the book, Tim mentions leaving Kansas after a girl falsely accuses him of raping her. As a woman, I tend to doubt men who make this claim and see them as potential rapists. I wanted something to come out in Something Like Summer to reassure me that Tim wasn’t capable of doing such a thing. But, instead, Tim is revealed to have moments of aggression. I just never was sure, even by the ending.So, after finishing Something Like Summer, I picked up Something Like Winter which is the story of Tim Wyman’s life as he comes to terms with his sexuality. Something Like Winter begins in Kansas and directly addresses the rape accusation, which is revealed to be a completely false accusation made by a very manipulative girl. I was relieved because that meant I could trust Tim a little more. But generally speaking, I don’t like it when authors portray rape accusations as lies because the real world already places so much doubt on legitimate claims of rape. But, my activism aside, I realize that this *can* actually happen in real life and perhaps is more likely to happen to someone like Tim with the kinds of people who find their way into his circles. Tim has a big problem when it comes to figuring out who deserves his friendship and attention and who does not.Jay Bell writes in a very fast-paced, candid, and affectionate way about growing up gay and finding love. I enjoy his stories while I read them and cannot stop thinking about the characters when I’m done, even when I'm not sure if I like them. I've read the first two books in this series and planned to (at least) read the third. Read Online Something Like Summer (Something Like... Book 1) Download Something Like Summer (Something Like...
