I am immune to emotion. I have been ever since I can remember.
John Galardi never lets anyone get close to him. He has no interest in girls - and even less interest in boys. That is, until he meets Marisol: self-styled "rich spoiled lesbian private-school gifted-and-talented writer virgin looking for love." As the two bond over their shared interest in zine writing, John wonders if he can keep himself from ruining what could be an exceptional friendship for a shot at a love he knows could never work.
Ellen Wittlinger writes brilliantly on the subject of teen sexuality and love as well as the complexity of families. Hard Love is an enlightening read - providing an unusual perspective on gay/straight relationships.
Reader's who enjoyed this novel will also enjoy the sequel Love and Lies which continues the story from Marisol's perspective.
