A long time ago, on a playground
far, far away, an awkward boy with two mothers and a penchant for pink shirts
shook a tough girl’s hand over the rattled frame of a deposed playground bully.
Tamsyn promised to be
Rodrigo’s bodyguard if he’d draw her pictures of girls wearing superhero capes.
Rodrigo promised to be Tamsyn’s buddy if she’d let him braid her hair.
A deal, struck. A
partnership, forged. And the timid gay boy and the fearless straight girl
became inseparable.
Now college graduation looms,
and Rodrigo questions his place in the world. He has no boyfriend. No job. And
a sudden—arousing—fascination with the female
body. Correction: with Tamsyn’s body.
Then one night, a golden
ticket from a broken piñata introduces him to the man he’s wanted for years.
Now he’s torn between pursuing these strange feelings for Tamsyn or following
the guy of his dreams.
Best friends forever.
If love doesn’t break them up
first.
Rodrigo & Tamsyn have been besties since elementary school. Where she saved him from a bully who said that it's uncool for a boy to wear a pink shirt. That's what she's been doing ever since. Getting into fights with homophobic idiots to save her best friend.
What both of them don't know....they're kind of in love with each other. Even though Rodrigo is as gay as a gay virgin can be, and Tamsyn is in a relationship... -ish. ☺ But she's been kind of in love with Rodrigo forever!
And recently Rodrigo's penis (aka WILLIE WILLINGTON - with whom he talks all the time☺) Willie seems very interested in Tamsyn's boobs. What's with that??? Better to keep it a secret. And also, he's verrrry interested in losing his V-card to rocker-hottie Simon Sex.
But Simon is not gay....or is he? Or maybe bi?? Is Rodrigo bi?? How is a virgin supposed to know all these things??? ☺

I had NO idea what to expect from this book.
And I was positively suprised.
It was an adorable and very hilarious, but still very serious story of two best friends who find themselves suddenly in love with the other.
I loved Willie!! The talking penis. He reminded me a lot of The Inner Goddess from Fifty Shades, only much better, because I didn't like that Goddess stuff at all!
It's so heartbreakingly adorable to watch Rodrigo and Tamsyn trying to forget about their attraction. They don't want to destroy their friendship.
There's parents to consider, the LGBT community at college, future workplaces, girlfriends and boyfriends .... lots of fears to face until we might see that HEA on the horizon! ☺
The story was a tiny bit too over-the-top sometimes ... with the way both of them compare things or people to other things or people... it didn't bother me much, it was just a bit too ridiculous at times. ☺
example:
He's hotter than a steel bridge in a Florida heat wave.
And that's one of the more harmless ones. ☺☺☺
But I realllly enjoyed reading this book!

COMING OUT was such a colorful and adorable story about two people searching for their place in life and love. Run to your nearest amazon to find out if they succeed!
