Kamikaze Boys
True love is worth fighting for!
My name is Connor Williams and people say I’m crazy. But that’s not who I am. They also think I’m straight, and mean, and dangerous. But that’s not who I am. The stories people tell—all those legends they whisper at school—they don’t mean a thing. Only my mother and younger brother matter to me. Funny then that I find myself wanting to stand up for someone else. David Henry, the cute bookish guy who always keeps to himself, is about to get his ass beat by a bunch of dudes bigger than him. I could look away, let him be one more causality of this cruel world… But that’s not who I am.
Kamikaze Boys a Lambda Literary award-winning novel, is a story of love triumphant as two young men walk a perilous path in the hopes of saving each other.
“[David and Connor] are a winning combination; whatever life throws at them, they will handle it together. As usual with Jay’s stories, it’s well written with lighthearted humor in some parts, and heartbreaking reality in others, and always with a depth of feeling which is tangible.” – Lena Gray, Rainbow Book Reviews
