My review of Same Love by Tony Correua

SAME LOVE
By Tony Correia

At seventeen, Adam has suspected for a while that he might be gay. His sketchbook has become full of images of good-looking men, and he isn't attracted to any of the girls he knows. When he reveals his feelings to his devout parents, they send him to a Christian camp, warning him that there will be no room in their lives for a gay son. The last thing Adam expects is to meet someone he is deeply attracted to; unfortunately, Paul is more committed to his Christian faith than Adam is.

Adam tries to bury his attraction to Paul by concentrating on his art and his new friends Rhonda and Martin. When it becomes clear how unhappy Rhonda and Martin are at Camp Revelation, Adam and Paul are both forced to question what the church tells them about love. But with a whole camp full of people trying to get Adam to change who he is, what kind of chance do Adam and Paul have to find love and a life with each other?

MY THOUGHTS…

This book, I think, is inspirational in a way. Although Adam's parents and everyone at Camp Revelation believe that his way of life is wrong and his feelings should be repressed, Adam does not listen as any other person would. He stands up for what he is and doesn't let anyone pull him down.

The thing I loved most about this book was the interesting mix of characters. The only character I didn't like was Randall. The ones I liked the most were Paul, Adam, Martin, and Rhonda (in order of which I liked the most).

The deep meaning that I felt while reading this book was to be yourself and not to worry about what any one else thinks of you, (even if your wardrobe is full of khakis and polo shirts) because God loves you just the way you are.

I Highly Recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
