Why read it?
1 author picked The Long Run as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Coming out happens with an unexpected kiss. The two boys are opposites. One forgotten among his large family, the other an angry loner. The kiss happens, and they become friends. Then more.
What really got me with this one is that they’re seniors. And it’s hard to fall in love senior year, knowing that college will separate you. That’s what they’re dealing with here. Overall, a great read.
From Elizabeth's list on YA LGBTQIA coming out.
