This was a sweet young adult contemporary gay novel about a teenage boy who has a lot on his plate. Becoming a senior, hopefully becoming soccer captain, falling in love, fighting with friends, it's all very nostalgic. I don't miss it! Ha. Zack seems to have it all so when the former soccer captain, and Zack's idol, Ryan, asks him to lie for him, Zack "takes one for the team" and bears the prank on his shoulders instead of his friend, Meyers's shoulders like Ryan suggested. What comes of that is community service at a marine research center, a cute new crush who happens to be Ryan's cousin and hates soccer, a fallout when he's honest with one friend over another, and more. I think Zack learns a lot over the course of the book and definitely starts growing into his adult self. He finally starts seeing people for who they really are instead of who they pretend to be and he finds some new friends along the way. A great sophomore novel. Now I have to go read Weber's debut!
