His uncertainty about declaring his gayness to her gets more complicated as his attraction to her grows stronger. But Huguette proves as charming as Audrey Hepburn (Kerr doesn't just state this, she shows it), and Lang more than enjoys her company. He refuses to squire around a teenage girl visiting from France, the daughter of Nevada's ex-lover. Nevada has the mystique of Elvis and John Lennon, but although Lang is awed by his music, he doesn't let Nevada push him around.
The issue seems paramount the summer Lang accompanies his mother from their home in New York City to work on Long Island for Ben Nevada, a reclusive retired rock star. His single mother, not entirely accepting his gayness, discourages him his lover, an actor who's just a bit older than him, favors candor. Lang Penner, still in high school, can't decide if he should come out. With its addictive combination of absorbing themes and glamorous setting, Kerr's newest stands up to the best of her oeuvre.
