Cut Both Ways by Carrie Mesrobian
Out: September 1, 2015
Official Summary: Will Caynes never has
been good with girls. At seventeen, he’s still waiting for his first
kiss. He’s certainly not expecting it to happen in a drunken make-out
session with his best friend, Angus. But it does and now Will’s
conflicted—he knows he likes girls, but he didn’t exactly hate kissing a
guy.
Then Will meets Brandy, a cute and easy-to-talk-to
sophomore. He’s totally into her too—which proves, for sure, that he’s
not gay. So why does he keep hooking up with Angus on the sly?
Will
knows he can’t keep seeing both of them, but besides his new job in a
diner, being with Brandy and Angus are the best parts of his whole
messed-up life. His divorced parents just complicate everything. His
father, after many half-baked business ventures and endless house
renovations, has started drinking again. And his mom is no help—unless
loading him up with a bunch of stuff he doesn’t need plus sticking him
with his twin half-sisters counts as parenting. He’s been bouncing
between both of them for years, and neither one feels like home.
Deciding who to love, who to choose, where to live. Whichever way Will goes, someone will get hurt. Himself, probably the most.
Why I Want to Read: I think this sounds like a really interesting, emotional read. I’m curious what Will ultimately decides will make him happy. Plus, like I’ve mentioned before, I like LGBT novels or books that have LGBT characters and this sounds like a good one!
I like books that show guys dealing with their sexual coming of age. Most of the time it's about girls. I'm marking this one.
I want to read this one too.
Oh this one is new to me!
This does sound really interesting, I agree! Great pick!
New to me but sounds like a great pick. Hope you get a chance to read it soon.
Sounds like an interesting coming of age, identity finding read. I am curious to see who he ends up with.
I agree – this sounds like an emotional one.
Nice pick, as it sounds like an interesting read! Hope you enjoy it!
Teens have it toughest when they are trying to figure out their (sexual) identity. This sounds like an intense but worthwhile read.
Intrigued by what I thought was an interesting cover, I can't say the book blurb appeals to me though.
This is a great pick, Lauren! And I think that the fact that Angus doesn't even contemplate that he could be bi is interesting – it's as if that's somehow even more 'different' than being gay is.
I'm adding this to my TBR 😉
Happy reading.

LGBT isn't a genre I enjoy. Actually, love triangles and romance are 2 things I tend to dislike in books, as well, so this doesn't sound like something I'd pick up. :/

Sounds VERY interesting.
Interesting… I haven't actually read much LBGT books – in fact, I haven't actually read ANY aside from TMI, which I haven't made it to the Malec stage yet. I'm actually interested in looking at this one maybe.
It does sound intriguing 🙂
I'm liking that cover. Hope you enjoy it when it arrives 😀
Only found out about this one like last week, sounds amazing, and can't wait for it either, need some more LGBTQ in my life.
