Theme of the Month: YA! Happy Hour Chat feat. "My Summer of Wes" by Missy Welsh

Beginning this month, we're gonna start mixing it up a little at the blog! Instead of Author of the Month features, we'll be doing theme months. YES! *fist pumps* B/c we all know how matchy-matchy we unicorns like things. ;) What better way than to matchy-match our reading materials?

This month's theme is YA. Yes, that's a chorus of cheers and groans in the clubhouse. You see, not everyone's a fan of YA. Howeeeeeever, they gave this story a fighting chance, and guess what? It came out on top!

The YA book BMBR chose to read this month is My Summer of Wes by Missy Welsh. Keep an eye out for more YA stories throughout this month!

Warning: As with all of our chats, this post will contain spoilers, zaniness, and wackadoodle squeeing.

Sunny: SRAL...you haven't read Sam and Mitch?! omg...Ann..she needs to read that scene in the truck

Sunny: you know the one...

Cuppers: You gotta read that fairy tale!!! That fairy tale is the shiznizzle!

Ann: YES! And the scene in the park. And the scene in the bar!

SRAL: buttsex?

Cuppers: OMG the bar scene… *sighs*

Lorix: The scene in the bar...

Ann: A plethora of buttsex

Lorix: Should we start the chat??

Sunny: okay, let me grab the blurb...

Ann: Blurb it!

Sunny: I didn't know. How could I? All through high school, I was beaten up and teased for being gay. But I wasn't gay. Or didn't think I was. Now Wes, the guy across the street who's taken me under his wing and been the best friend I've ever had, won't stop invading my dreams, hell, my every waking thought. Am I gay? Because I'm thinking I'd like to kiss him. Actually, I'm thinking there's a lot more I'd like to do with his mouth and the rest of that tall, confident, muscular body. Ah, man... I'm so gay! But what if he doesn't feel the same way about me? And, Jesus, what about my parents? And those bastards from school are still around. And I'm supposed to go to college this fall... Shit, I need to sit down. I can't breathe and I'm about to shake apart. Then Wes puts his hand on the back of my neck, gives me one of those encouraging squeezes and his bright smile, and everything's okay again. Yeah, I'm hooked. Oh, boy...

Cuppers: So much buttsex. Oodles of buttsex. And feelz.

Ann: *awkward

SRAL: I like that together

Ann: hahahahahahahahaha

SRAL: LMAO buttsex

B: Lol!

Ann: I love you Cuppity

Lorix: Confession - I read this book in September and half read a gazillion since...but I do remember I liked it!
