Fever Pitch

"Closeted Aaron hooks up with out-and-proud — and harassed — Giles, then arranges to go to the same small private Midwest college Giles is attending. Mixed signals have the boys circling each other warily, but when they finally come together, the relationship is intense — and brings down the wrath of Aaron’s father. Buoyed by campuswide support, especially from a music department that’s like a second family, Aaron begins to feel safe, but a truly malevolent enemy is determined to keep them apart forever. A touching romance that spotlights how devastating (and sometimes dangerous) coming out can be, as well as the healing power of love and music."
