    About this ebook

    Born blind, seventeen-year-old Bobby proves he's more than capable to live his life like any sighted person. Quick-witted and funny, he's learned to navigate the world without ever seeing it. Once school is out, it's time to get a summer job.

    For Tyler, summer vacation is an opportunity to spend more time playing the drums with his queer alternative band. Growing up gay, Tyler prides himself on how open and easy-going he is. Life would be perfect if he had someone special to share it with.

    During the day, Bobby hangs out with his best friend, Quan, whose girlfriend sets him up on a blind date with her cousin, Tyler. Neither boy knows what to expect. Bobby is presented with the opportunity to let his guard down and let someone in, and Tyler is given the chance to prove to himself just how easy-going he really is.

    But when fate intervenes, the two boys struggle to survive One Frightful Date.
