While Desert Sons deftly handles the difficult and sometimes dangerous coming out process of young lovers Ryan and Scott, the sequel finds that lingering tensions remain, while new challenges continue to surface. Infidelity, jealousy, town gossip, and buried feelings threaten to destroy their relationship. Worse yet, the threat of violence looms constantly in their lives. Fans of Desert Sons will surely cherish this conclusion to its story-lines. However, fans of gay teen "coming out" movies like Beautiful Thing, Get Real, Boy's Life, and Edge of Seventeen will also enjoy this book. In fact, Kendrick's first two novels would both make great movies themselves!
I read this over the course of a bank holiday weekend - it was immediately engaging and (sorry to be cliched) I really couldn't put it down. Really well-written characters and an engaging story. It is set in smallish-town America. The lead character is a young good-looking guy finishing high school and heading off to college - gay but too afraid to do anything much about it yet. The story concentrates on his relationships with his philandering father, his hilarious Irish Aunt Nora and his friends. Funny and touching. Give it a go!
Desert Sons is the story about the two boys Ryan
and Scott, both in their late teens, who meet when Ryan moves to live
with his uncle in Yucca Valley, Scott's home town. They are both
instantly attracted to each other, but neither dare to make a move. Ryan
is very closeted and in constant denial of his homosexuality, while
Scott is more down to earth with everything. After over a hundred pages
of hint-dropping from both sides, the boys *finally* (?) end up in bed
and they begin a strange relationship. They fight, because Ryan is so
closeted and Scott wants to come out, and between the fights they spend
their time in … bed. Or on the kitchen floor. Or in any other place that
might seem fitting. There are a lot of "I love you"s between these
intrigues, plus a little sweetness and Ryan's suspicious and unknown
past. The rest is basically...ehm... well, kitchen floors, tents, beds,
showers. You get the picture. Geography club is a gentle and honest story about a young man's struggle to find common ground, told in the unique but identifiable first person voice of Russel Middlebrook. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever been on the outside, parts moved me to tears and at times it had me in stitches of laughter.
