Love, like everything in the universe, cannot be destroyed. But over time it can change.The hot Texas nights were lonely for Ben before his heart began beating to the rhythm of two words; Tim Wyman. By all appearances, Tim had the perfect body and ideal life, but when a not-so-accidental collision brings them together, Ben discovers that the truth is rarely so simple. If winning Tim’s heart was an impossible quest, keeping it would prove even harder as family, society, and emotion threaten to tear them apart.
Something Like Summer is a love story spanning a decade and beyond as two boys discover what it means to be friends, lovers, and sometimes even enemies.

This started out hands-down a 5-star read, but I am so angry about what happened at 95% that I have to rate this 2 stars. Actually, the anger set in earlier, I was just hoping things would turn out differently.I feel so emotionally manipulated. And not in a satisfying way! *grumbles and checks Kindle for damage****Audio edition re-read***Just as good as the first time. Ben and his two great loves. Neither is better than the other and neither is stronger than the other. Just different. Different, but equally perfect and fitting for Ben.__________________________________________This is a review for both Something Like Summer and Something Like Winter since I don't see a way to talk about one without the other. Why couldn't people's insides match their outsides? The world would be such a wonderful place
2.5 Stars.Here. *hands over GR membership card* Its at this point that its clear IM the issue. Everyone LOVED this book. Me? Im just barely above strongly disliking it. Ill try to do this without any major spoilers:* I didnt find teenaged Ben or Tim to be that likeable or charming. * The entire Part 2 portion was slow and boring.* I hate love triangles.* Adult Tim is creepy, overbearing, desperate, borderline pathetic and a stalker.* Adult Ben is irresponsible, overly emotional, inappropriate,
I read this in 2012, and the review below is for the ebook I read.In 2016 I listened to the audio and then decided to re rate it to 5 stars. I think because this book made me yell at the characters for their choices. When I'm so emotional invested that I'm yelling at the characters, for me that's should be 5 stars.I think the difference is in audio. I LISTEN closer to the story when I'm listening than reading. When I read-only I read slow, and sometimes I skip things. I'm not a very good reader,
I'm going to spoil the whole book, so don't continue reading if you mind. Also swearing.HOLY FUCK, was that frustrating. You know, I thought I'd hit off Pride Month with a cute, heart-wrenching gay romance. Well, think again. Instead of cute, I got creepy. Instead of heart-wrenching, I got head-banging on the table. Almost every second page I just had to pause to cool down. At some point I actually thought it would get better now. HA HA HA no. It just got worse. I thought this would be a cute
This is the first M/M YA book that Ive read and I cannot be grateful enough that I did read it because it has helped me come to terms with my sexuality. Being born in a country where both the state and the church have forged ideals of what should be the norm, being gay included, has forced people like me to hide deep in the closet. But after reading this early this year, the entire Something Like Series in fact, and hundreds of M/M books after that, I can at least say that I am now honest with
SLIGHTLY PREDICTABLE BUT A WELL-WRITTEN ROMANCE BOOK. BUDDY READ with John and Lili: Lili's reviewI had a hard time rating this and also might have a hard time reviewing it. I wanna say a lot of things!!! But I will cover those that's on the top of my mind. BenPART 1:I loved this part! If the book was just this, I can give a 4-5 star rating! I loved both Ben and Tim here. It was honest and even though what they had (view spoiler)[didn't end well. I'm okay. I was sad, but okay. They were
