I just came home to find my roommate’s friend doing a dramatic reading from RAINBOW BOYS for several of their friends. (I’d left it on the couch.)
Dialogue that read as off to me on the page? Let’s just say it’s a million times more awful (and hilarious) out loud…
I tried in vain to convince them that the basic storyline is actually really compelling!

I felt EXACTLY the same about the series, particularly the first book, where the plot mostly seemed to scream realism while the dialogue did anything but.
The next two books, in my opinion, got out of whack in other ways as well.
