7 Days at the Hot Corner by Terry Trueman

() This follows a high school jock, Scott, who is obsessed with himself and baseball. Life is going fine until he finds out his best friend is gay; the same best friend that has just moved in with him after being kicked out of his own house. Scott doesn't know what to do or how to handle it. He's so homophobic that he wants to be tested for AIDs after touching some of his friend's blood. Much of the town is semi-homophobic, but there are a lot more homosexuals there than most people know. Scott soon finds this out, along with some things about himself. He also finally gets closure on his parents' divorce.
It's alright, nothing new or obviously original. Lots of baseball references. Nothing more than an 'okay' read. This author can do much better.
