Danny is looking forward to spending the summer hanging out with his friends Jay and Kierce, but after some trouble with the police, his mother makes him get a summer job at a restaurant. At work, Danny meets Lisa. For awhile now, Danny has been worrying that he could be gay, and he hopes that dating Lisa will put an end to those worries.
Publisher’s Description:
Danny thinks he must be the only seventeen-year-old guy in Cape Breton—in Nova Scotia, maybe—who doesn’t have his life figured out. His buddy Kierce has a rule for every occasion, and his best friend Jay has bad grades, no plans and no worries. Danny’s dad nags him about his post-high-school plans, his friends bug him about girls and a run-in with the cops means he has to get a summer job. Worst of all, he’s keeping a secret that could ruin everything.
