Book Reviews of The Name of the Game
Book Review: A COMMON BUT BEAUTIFUL FANTASY
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're looking for a realistic examination of modern gay life, THE NAME OF THE GAME is likely to disappoint you. But, if a contemporary romantic gay fairy tale is what you had in mind, you'd be hard pressed to find a better book.
Clay is a good looking if slightly disheveled radio DJ totally infatuated with his roommate Seth, a hot undercover cop. Of course Clay, gentleman that he is, can never let his feelings be known to Seth, because while Clay is gay, Seth is straight. They're best friends and they care a great deal for each other, but Seth could never be interested in Clay the way Clay wants, or could he?
Seth has a totally domineering and homophobic girlfriend, Sophie, that he's anxious to be rid of, but he doesn't know how to go about it. Seth's a nice honorable man, and Sophie has her hooks deeply embedded in him. On the spur of the moment, Seth decides to tell Sophie that he's gay and in love with Clay, and he convinces Clay to go along with the deception.
Things get interesting as Seth realizes his plan may be more than he bargained for. While pretending to be Clay's boyfriend may seem like a good way to handle his problem, it also confuses him, as emotions and feelings he never knew he had start to bubble to the surface.
Clay too is becoming ever more uncertain. He would do anything for Seth, but this little game they're playing is having a devastating effect on his heart.
What gay man hasn't dreamed about a straight man falling in love with him? It's common, and Willa Okati has done an excellent job tapping into those dreams. She hasn't painted a slice of life portrait of the real world. Instead she's created a beautiful romantic fantasy with a simply message. "It's not about being gay. It's about caring for the person you're with."
