Jason Carrillo came out to his basketball team senior year and lost his university scholarship. Now, with graduation behind him and summer ending, he's asked to speak at the opening of a gay and lesbian high school across the country. But after spending years in the closet and losing his scholarship dream, what message can he offer? Kyle Meeks is getting ready to go to Princeton in the fall and trying to see as much as possible of his boyfriend Jason before they have to separate. When Jason tells him about his speaking invitation, Kyle jumps at the chance to drive across country with him. Yet he can't help worrying: Will their romance survive two weeks crammed together in a car? Nelson Glassman is happy his best friend Kyle has found love with Jason. Now he's looking for his own true love -- and hopes he might find his soul mate during the road trip. But will being the "third wheel" in a trio ruin his friendships with Kyle and Jason? During an eye-opening postgraduation summer road trip, each of the three very different boys also embarks on a personal journey across a landscape of love, sexuality, homophobia, and above all, friendship.Define Books Concering Rainbow Road (Rainbow Trilogy #3)

What a wonderful way to end this trilogy! Alex Sanchez created three complex and interesting young gay men (Jason, Kyle, & Nelson) in his first novel "Rainbow Boys." Over the first two novels, the boys confronted serious issues about coming out in high school to parents, coaches, and teammates; creating a Gay-Straight Alliance; dealing with HIV; making a relationship work; and figuring out how to navigate the world as a gay teenager. All of these were issues not normally dealt with in youngAnd with that, I finished this series. Yet again, it was a quick read. Maybe too quick. This book felt a bit rushed to me. There were so many conflict going on and it did't feel like most of them were adressed and discussed properly.I appreciate the arguments that the character had, since they felt realistic to have (especially in their situation). I just didn't feel like they were talked about enough. I get it, those books are like a snippet out of those characters lives, they weren't exactly
1 1/2 starsI dont want to rain on anybodys parade but there were so many things that I didnt like about this book that despite really trying to like it, I couldnt give it more than 1 1/2 stars:For starters, the whole premise of the book is so contrived that its laughable. A road trip, after high school graduation and before college, across the country, to California. Nah!Three high school graduates and one of them doesnt realize that leaving money in the glove compartment of their vehicle is one
I always like reading novels that revolve around LGBTQIA+ characters and I especially love when they are treated fairly and represented well. This story is not an extraordinary one but the characters are very memorable. The 3 young gay men are on a road trip that helps them come to terms with their own identity. It also teaches them how to navigate close personal relationships while preparing for a lifetime of change and uncertainty. At the beginning of the novel you'll have a favourite but by
I always sit there and write the same review after every book but honestly this book and/or trilogy is really good for a time like today. Its a 5 star because it grabbed my attention quickly and I could not put it down. Highly recommend.
Roadtrips, in reality, are good times, bad times, and a whole lotta dull times. There is no better birthplace for a private joke than a road trip, and no better place to start hating someone's guts. Then there are fictional roadtrips, such as this one, which takes every roadtrip story ever heard and makes it happen to these three boys. Lost wallet? Cell phone quits working? Homophobic-fueled road rage? Car trouble in the middle of nowhere? Quadruple check, and more! It's tempting to make a road
As with the previous two, this book is what it is. It's dated, and there's some questionable content (but that's mostly probably because people weren't as educated as they could have been on some aspects of being LGBTQ+). There were also increasing editorial issues throughout the book.I'm glad I read them, but I'm also glad the story ended with the third book. Anything more would have definitely been overkill.
