review 1: Reviewed by: StephenGenre: M/M Young Adult3 HeartsReview: Jess Bonner, Dylan (Mig) Finch, Brandon Nyygard, and Dominga (Tomby) Martiz were four high-schoolers on the fringes of high school society who banded together into the "Domino Club."Originally the four were brought together by their marginalization and by their interest in some rudimentary experimenting with sex. However as the story begins, college bound Jess has lost interest in casual experimentation and is becoming aware of his growing interest in forming a more mature relationship with the more blue collar Mig. However, Jess is unsure that Mig would even be interested in a relationship, or that he defines himself as gay.This story quickly becomes one of coming out and coming of age in today's post gay era. Even... more though society is becoming more accepting, it's still new and disorienting to those going through it for the first time. Adding to the confusion here is the class difference between the two guys and the machinations of a manipulative ex-friend.On the up side are Jess's very cool dad and his irrepressible, truly loveable younger brother.The prose is well crafted. The story flows easily and one can spend some enjoyable time with these characters. BTW... the Zero Knot of the title refers to a topological concept in mathematics and there are parallels to relationships, but (perhaps due to intermittent dyscalculia) it didn't always add up for this reader.I suggest that you check it out for yourself.
review 2: 4+ stars!This fantastic jewel of a book is about two very likable gay teenagers (18), transitioning into adulthood, in conservative small-town America. The angst is not over-the-top but enough to keep the plot interesting. The romance is sweet but not sickeningly so. And the sex scenes are descriptive but not overdone. To me, this could easily be the retelling of a true story. Highly recommend this book! less
