Description:
Insightful to a fault, Gabe Ashton knows Nick Flynn’s gay even if Nick doesn’t. And after seeing how the townie looks at his “buddy,” Gabe knows Nick is in love with a guy who’ll never love him back. So Gabe invites Nick to campus parties and to hang out with new people. But soon their friendship turns physical, and Gabe wonders if he’s in just as much denial as Nick is.
Nick’s straight—or so he’s always assumed. But he can’t deny that the things he’s doing with Gabe are hot. More than that, he likes Gabe in a way he’s never liked anyone else. Well, anyone else except his high school friend, John.
The hardest thing to give up is a fantasy, and the hardest thing to face is the truth. But if Nick wants the man standing in front of him, he’ll have to give up the one he never had.
Gabe and Nick, WOW. The beginning of this friendship is fun to watch. Gabe is slick, that’s for sure, getting Nick comfortable with him while showing Nick how gay Nick is. Straight guys look at other guys, straight guys masturbate together, straight guys kiss each other, and straight guys
suck each other off. LoL
Gabe or how I like to think of him, Mister Know It All, falls quick and hard; as the reader I really feel for him because Nick has no, I mean absolutely no, really truly no idea what he wants and needs from Gabe. I found myself pulling for Gabe, holding back tears, because he fell hard and fast for Nick.
It’s a little hard trying to understand Nick’s logic, he’s comfortable in an exclusive relationship with Gabe not wanting to see anyone else and not wanting Gabe to see anyone else but still this is all ‘not in a gay way’.
Townie and the Twink is really interesting. I laughed every time Nick said or thought, “Not in a gay way”. This book is the perfect everyone experiments in college story: I had this thought and then read a quote in the book that describes not only Townie and the Twink but also the series as a whole.
Best Quote: “ a lot of people say everyone is bi to some extent.” Chris lip curled into a smile. “I’m pretty sure that’s true in college.”
