Suida Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Going the Distance Author: John Goode Genre: Romance, Sports, Young Adult Published: November 27th 2014 Plot: Looking like the perfect all-American boy—tall, handsome, and athletic—makes it easy for Danny Monroe to blend in with the in-crowd of a new high school. It’s a trick he picked up moving with his father from one Marine base to the next. When you aren’t going to be around long, it’s better to give people what they want. And what they want are his quick hands and fast feet on the basketball court. On court, he can be himself and ignore certain strange developing urges. Everyone knows you can’t like boys and be a jock, but for Danny his growing attraction is becoming overwhelming. At the thought of losing the only thing that matters, Danny starts to panic and realizes he has a choice to make: happiness or basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsin_and_boyd_lover Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Thank you for recommending, Suida!! :Jumping around: This was the first book I've read by this author and it won’t be my last. Going the Distance was a very real and very touching book about a young boy’s journey to becoming a man. This isn't a book where boy meets boy and they live together happily ever after. No, in this book we meet Danny as a young boy of 11 years old and we witness his struggles with accepting who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
