From Amazon:
A high school jock and nerd fall in love senior year, only to part after an amazing summer of discovery to attend their respective colleges. They keep in touch at first, but then slowly drift apart.
Flash forward twenty years.
Travis and Craig both have great lives, careers, and loves. But something is missing .... Travis is the first to figure it out. He's still in love with Craig, and come what may, he's going after the boy who captured his heart, even if it means forsaking his job, making a fool of himself, and entering the great unknown. Told in narrative, letters, checklists, and more, this is the must-read novel for anyone who's wondered what ever happened to that first great love.
An awesome recc by mahoshi in which the supporting characters shine as much as the main couple. I read it right after Last Days of Summer, and that might have not been a good idea: the celebrity & Broadway & Baseball history references overdose got to my nerves at several points - I get none of those references, none! BUT the epistolar style of Steve Kluger is definitely worth a read because it is just so damn funny.
