I am Not Gay: Gay Teen Romance (Fairmont Boys Book 2) Kindle Edition

No one questions the pretenders on the boy/girl dates, but just being with another boy (who is rumored to be gay) automatically is guilty as charged with no chance for parole. Perhaps the teen years are too guarded to allow experimentation on who you like and who you love. Too often the choices are forced and are wrong for the person accused. Trying to disprove anything about sex and love is an impossible task, with only losers, often scarred for life or dead. If the gay and homeless suicide rate was compared to the annual death rate for teen drivers, no one would be driving or drinking. But it is OK to bully and beat on suspected gays just because you hate homosexuality? Why is the gay kid jailed for being beaten up, only to be raped and beaten more in jail? This book and the previous one do a great job of illustrating the problems caused by hate, but struggle to show the glories of love. The closet is not a safe place to hide, but it impossible to avoid opening the door at least occasionally, and risk all every time. Who is the stronger character? Liam, Tristan, Rick, Eric, Jacob, Rosa, Colin, or

Did not like this novella! I get the whole unrequited love plot line, but seriously if someone TRULY cares/loves someone they would NEVER let them get physically or emotionally abused like Alex does so much in the way too unfinished mess of a novella! Do not recommend this!!!!

This second book by Jay was, to me, even better than Swimmer Boy in the manner that I think his writing skill has improved. I adore Liam and can understand the struggles that Alex is undergoing. The ending was a bit of a surprise for me, but a pleasant one for certain. I am looking forward another installment in this series. I would give 4.5 stars for this book.

I really enjoy Jay Argent's Fairmont Boys books. I hear a third is on the way. This second one, I Am Not Gay, deftly deals with one gay teen's struggle to deal with his sexuality, especially given peer pressure and parental pressure. And all of that balanced against the pressure he feels caused by the love he has for another boy. It's a great love story, and a great gay coming-of-age tale. I heartily recommend this book.

A wonderful beautiful book about unrequited love and love as two boys try to figure things out about themselves and if their feelings are real. Bravo!

Highly recommend this author, great series!

I would gladly recommend this book. I've read the whole thing. The main character always disclaims to be gay. Even though he love another boy very much. I would have to reread the book to get the details refreshed.

I am enjoying this series. I can’t put my tablet down.I’m purchasing the 3rd book in this series. Can’t wait to get back to it!

This seems to be a common theme in the gay teenage books I've read. The serious school bullying by peers. I don't recognise it from my childhood, but then it was a different century, early 1960's in a Scottish fishing town where gays were almost unknown , but their existence was ignored. I never came out to my father but to my mother, and then only when I was in my mid 20's, so I can empathise with Alex. Enjoyable read tho, with the makings of a happy ending.

I had not intended to read more of this series but l was persuaded by a reply to my review of book one to look again. I am glad that l changed my mind. This is a picture of teen life that many readers would recognise or remember. It does not matter that this is a gay romance, the same issues bedevil many teen relationships. With gays it is simply worse because the support is not always readily available and the pool of partners is smaller. A good read and l shall be watching for more from Jay.
