Book Review: Can love be this blind?
Summary: 3 Stars
On returning to school for the first day in the second grade, Ardie Bodine spots new boy West being accosted by the school bully and immediately goes to his rescue. So begins a life long friendship. As the relationship grows Ardie recognises he feels more than just friendship for West, but is to shy and afraid of rejection to say, and when West suddenly announces he is dating another boy, he feels it is too late.
West is a bright student, Ardie the practical one, and it's clear that West will go one to college. However when Ardie's father dies he is left as head of the family responsible for not just the farm but also his little brother and sisters, including the wayward and frequently pregnant Aggie. Inevitably the two friends are parted as West moves away to college but they remain in touch and best friends, West now regarding the farm as home.
West has a succession of boy friends while Ardie remains celibate but ever hopeful that West will one day recognise how much he loves him. Then one day, when they are in their thirties, Ardie receives a phone call, West is in hospital and needs him; but will he will he ever know how much?
This is a lovely soppy (in the nicest possible way) story of true love and friendship. The devotion the two boys demonstrate as they grow up is heart warming, their differences in character nicely balanced. I did find the constant pronouncement of "you're my best friend" in the early stages of the novel a bit over the top, and the dialogue at times rather weak. However, that aside it is a good diverting read, and the lengthy steamy descriptions towards the end are well handled, convincingly conveying the ecstatic pleasure of `first time' for someone who has waited for so long now at last being guided by an experienced lover.
