Vanilla by Billy Merrell

3.0

This novel in verse describes the relationship between Vanilla and Hunter. These two guys went from being best friends to boyfriends. It has come to the point in their relationship and lives where sex becomes a hot topic of conversation. Hunter really wants to take their relationship to the next level, while Vanilla isn't quite so sure. This novel is about Vanilla's progression to his own identity, working in issues of homosexuality, asexuality and the sexual spectrum.

Hunter was not presented in a positive light, though I could understand his motivations. I think this is an important book and it begins further highlighting vocabulary that is not typically addressed in other novels.
