Peter by Kate Walker

Pressured by his peers and society to conform to the stereotyped macho image, fifteen-year-old Aussie dirt biker Peter feels both confused and repelled. His confusion increases when he finds himself attracted to his brother's best friend, David, who is gay. This is a daring, exceptionally honest novel about sexuality, as well as a really sweet love story, with the ultimate message about the need to be true to oneself. While written primarily for teens, it is touching and real enough to be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age, gender or orientation.
