Book Review: "The Temperature of Me and You" by Brian Zepka

Brian Zepka's debut novel, The Temperature of Me and You, is a bit of a fantasy novel with a crazy love story at its core.

He wanted a boyfriend. He never imagined this.

Dylan is the only out guy in his junior class, which makes dating close to impossible. Then one day, Jordan walks into the Dairy Queen where he works. Dylan has never seen Jordan before, but he is immediately smitten…and then Jordan makes a Blizzard explode. Literally.

Clearly Jordan is hiding something, and he’s afraid to tell Dylan the truth. He supposedly just moved here from Arizona to live with his aunt and uncle, but what's the story there? And why is Jordan always so hot—temperature-wise? Even though there are lots of questions left unanswered, the two grow closer, but when Dylan starts coughing flames himself, Jordan begs him to keep his symptoms a secret for their safety, which means causes Dylan to start withdrawing from family and friends.

Can this fiery love sustain itself? Can Dylan and Jordan have a normal relationship without the use of fire extinguishers? I thought this was a sweet story with an interesting twist—you thought all relationships had drama? You don’t know the half of it.

Thanks so much to Disney/Hyperion and Storygram Tours for inviting me on the tour for The Temperature of Me and You and providing a complimentary advance copy of the book!
