[Every Time I Think of You 02] • Message of Love

**Lambda Literary Award Finalist - Gay Romance**

In the sequel to the Lambda Literary Award winning novel *Every Time I Think of You,* the love between two young men is put to a test.

Reid Conniff and Everett Forrester have moved to Philadelphia, where college life brings them closer together, perhaps a bit too close. Everett, pressured by his mother, transfers to the University of Pennsylvania, while Reid stays at Temple University. Their once long-distance love becomes a cross-town romance.

A twist of floral fate later finds them an apartment more like a home. Between student protests, impulsive road trips and despite a few affairs, their bond grows.

But as the early 1980s continue, a spreading crisis approaches, coming into their lives with a strange intimacy, via that one mysterious Polaroid of Everett, the one that Reid never dared to ask about.
