A teen misfit discovers that friendship is more important than popularity and forgiveness is a sign of true love. When seventeen-year-old Ben Matthews moves to Virginia, he's dying to break into the local in-crowd. Not very likely, though. The inner circle will never accept a misfit like him-a preacher's kid. Then he meets Lydia Lake, another preacher's kid and a fellow misfit. They form a tenor banjo and accordion duo the in-crowd openly ridicules, pushing Ben that much further away from their acceptance. He and Lydia have become best friends, but her interest in Ben is also romantic. As much as he hates to hurt her by rejecting her advances, he can't force himself to return her affection. Ben auditions for a popular local Christian band. Although he wins the audition, he assumes his friendship with Lydia is doomed because of his failure to stand up to the band leader for berating her spitefully. Ben finds that the cost of the popularity and acceptance he's dreamed of is higher than he's expected. While increasingly questioning the wisdom of remaining in the band, he realizes his feelings for Lydia are deepening. But does she still have romantic feelings for Ben? Or are they even still friends? He wants to apologize, but how? Will she listen? And can she possibly forgive him? Will the new Everyday People club--a group of Crossroads High's misfits-help to unite Ben and Lydia? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I’m a multi-genre romance author myself, using three names because of the various genres I’ve written in, I found this delightful book to be as the author himself has described, to be quirky. An interesting thing about this is that it has gotten written by a male, a male who’s unabashed to have written it under his own name, rather than hiding it behind some feminine pen name like most male authors when writing romance. [This is forgetting about those males who write those ungodly gay romances.]
Perhaps the reason why the author, Roger Bruner, has been able to do it here, is that the story has gotten from the male protagonist's POV [point of view.] The story is one which the father, Ben Matthews, has written to his son, for him to understand that it’s okay to be a misfit because there’s always someone who would love you for being the person who you are. The problem the two protagonists had to face in their being misfits had been the misguided perceptions their peers possessed regarding them since the two are PKs [Preacher Kids]. Their peers believed that the two couldn’t participate in the same activities they did without them bringing religion into these activities.
Misfits are individuals who get persecuted for merely being who there are, and I, for one, knows what this is like since I got treated as a misfit due to a genetic condition I suffer from, that is until I get my dear OH. For having written an endearing, yet quirky story regarding being an adolescent, I’ve given the author, Roger Bruner, 5 STARS. (
