Mark Roeder is quickly establishing himself as the
writer for gay and questioning teens. In Do You Know
That I Love You, Ralph, a young gay teen living on a
farm in Indiana, has an aching crush on a rock star and
wants nothing more than to see his idol in concert.
Meanwhile, Jordan, the rock star, is lonely and
sometimes confused with his success, because all he
wants is someone to love him and feels he will never
find the love he craves. In a series of scenes that
bring the two boys together, accidentally, Roeder keeps
you on the edge of your seat. Will Ralph ever see
Jordan, again? Or was this just a one-time meeting that
will never be repeated? Roeder writes convincingly and
makes the impossible seem plausible. Definitely for the
romantic gay teen. This is perhaps Roeder's best book.
