Burning Britely by Deidre Huesmann – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Burning Britely by Deidre Huesmann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Burning Britely is a fabulous story by Deidre Huesmann. Its a coming of age story that follows two very different teenagers. It is the first book I have read by Huesmann, but I will be reading more. Her reading style pulls you in right from the beginning. The emotions are high, with drama, second chances, acceptance, love, fear, everything teenagers feel. Highly recommend the story.
Jeff Young is a nerd. He has his eye on valedictorian, even though he is still a junior. He spends his free time studying and getting ahead in homework. He has only one friend, and no intention of branching out. Braeden is the popular senior track star. Everyone lines him, including Jeff, who has been secretly crushing on him. Until a freak incident brings them together and sparks a friendship. Jeff tries to blow off Braeden, unsuccessfully. He is insistent on being friends and pushes until Jeff caves in and agrees to hang out. But can Jeff bury his feelings and separate the crush from the friendship? If not, is he willing to risk social suicide by coming out?
