This one was a slow start for me, but the last 2/3rds of the book were great! 
 Connor is never labled as someone diagnosed anxiety, but he certainly has issues in social situations. His anxiety can be almost paralyzing at times. He's a freshman at college and his primary relief from anxiety is playing violin. He might have never made friends if not for his stand partner in orchestra taking him under her wing. And then there's the part where his professor talks him into tutoring some football players. That's how he meets Jared. 
 Jared is on the football team. He's not a star, but he's a decent player. Jared has been pretending to be straight for a long time. But he falls for super shy Connor, and it turns out that a guy who rarely leaves his room is a good choice for a jock who isn't interested in coming out of the closet. 
 Connor isn't out to anyone either. His parents are pretty overbearing and he can't even bring himself to tell them he doesn't want to go to law school, so it's not even in his realm of thinking that he would tell them he's gay. Besides, he can barely make friends, so dating seems unlikely. 
 Jared doesn't set out to use Connor; he truly likes Connor. However, Connor's self esteem and social skills at the beginning of the book have him on unequal footing with Jared when their relationship starts. This was the part of the book I didn't enjoy as much, I think becuase it made me uncomfortalbe. As the book progresses and Jared and Connor each grow and change, the story really worked for me. 
 It runs right up against my limit of angst I'm willing to accept. I'm not a huge coming-of-age fan, but it worked for me in Social Skills. I'd recommend it for m/m romance fans who enjoy NA.
