Nicky DeMarco, a na?ve but game 18-year-old, is navigating his first semester of college when he falls into a surprising-and life-altering-romantic triangle with Joe, a charismatic, big-hearted jock, and Lori, a warm and adventurous psych student. The three embark on a secret, joyous, and passionate journey of self-discovery as Nicky questions his sexuality-and all that entails. It turns into an emotional high-wire act and loyalty test with unexpected consequences for the trio's present and future, one which we flash forward to some fifty years later when Nicky and Joe reunite back where it all began. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePLEASE COME TO BOSTON\u003c\/em\u003e is a vivid and evocative snapshot of that youthful time of life when the world is laid out in front of us with all its amazing, intoxicating, and terrifying possibilities-and the thorny complications that can arise. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGary Goldstein's third novel is a funny, nostalgic, and bittersweet look at first love at a time when exploring one's sexual orientation and authentic self was riskier, more uncharted territory, yet with so many of the same watershed issues that resonate today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hadleigh House LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798985057683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.65d","brand":"Gary Goldstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44507453456565,"sku":"9798985057683","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ae454dc6-7a4b-4bfa-80c7-8b0d29354845.jpg?v=1722312493","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/please-come-to-boston-9798985057683","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
