3.5 stars. Boy meets boy, both boys admit their feelings and fall in love, boys go off to different colleges, boys live separate lives, one boy realizes his love for the other boy never died and goes on an epic search for him. Without giving away anything that isn't already on the back cover, that sums up the book. I mistakenly assumed that it would focus more on the destination. Nope, this book is largely about the journey the one boy (Travis) undergoes to find his lost love Craig. 
 The story is told through journal entries, emails, memos, letters and the like. This I greatly enjoyed. We find out what is happening with Traivs, through his eyes, and the next chapter we get a glimpse into Craigville. 
 There are some laugh-out-loud moments, always a good thing. Travis is quirky enough to be likable without being (too) annoying. Gordon seems like many of my guy-friends from college. The rest of the characters are well-written, Kluger knows what he is doing in this department. 
 So why didn't I rate it higher? 1) Lots of baseball, history and 70s culture references that I just didn't get. If I loved baseball and was a teenager in the 70s, especially one with leanings toward theater and Liza Minelli-style of music, I would likely love it. 2) It was a fun, quick read, but it was still light-and-fluffy. 3) The ending (view spoiler)[ felt tacked on. 
 The end was a tad rushed, but everyone was happy, so I guess I can't overly complain. Most romantic comedies (movies) bug me these days, due to their predictability and the formula so many of them follow. The endings can be direct, where the two main characters end up together after overcoming numerous obstacles on their pathway to true love and happiness. Then there is the false ending, like in this book. You figure it's a romantic comedy, these two will end up together. Then it looks like they won't...but at the 11th hour they do. I am not sure whether to be pissed at a fake ending or pleased that those two ended up together anyway. Mostly I didn't like that it reminded me of a cardboard romantic comedy. Good thing I read the book, for the narrative style of writing would NOT translate to the big screen so well. (hide spoiler)] 
 If you don't share my book prejudices, you'll love it. Otherwise, it's still a fun read.
