Always Have, Always Will

by Quinn Brockton

Book Overview

This popular new line of books follows your favorite Queer as Folk characters on a riveting journey of sexual self-discovery with stories about the beloved characters from the record-breaking Showtime series. USA Today raves, "There's never been anything else like it on TV"--and there's never been a book series like this.

Life after college brings a lot more freedom--and a lot of new problems. Brian must trade his status as BMOC for the bottom rung of the corporate ladder, while Michael, who has long given up on college, now wonders if he's also given up on his dreams. Emmett visits Pittsburgh to celebrate the spectacular launch of his fashion marketing company in Los Angeles (or so everyone thinks), while Deb adds gay rights advocacy to her juggling act of working at the diner and taking care of her ailing brother, Vic. Like Lindsay--who experiences life as a struggling artist and true love for the first time--Deb's about to get more than she bargained for.

Add in a secret romance, sexually charged office politics, an over-the-top drag ball, and the arrival of new friends and lovers, and our little gang is tested enough to qualify for postgraduate credit. More than ever before, Michael and Brian find their friendship challenged. As their choices tear them apart, Brian sees that it's Michael he's always loved, and that he always will. But will he tell him before it's too late?

Customer Reviews

Best of the three, but that ain't saying much!

I have read all 3 of the QAF novels, and "Always Have, Always Will" is the best of the three. Sadly, that isn't saying much. "QAF" is, above all, a highly visual show. Absent its good looking cast, thumpa thumpa soundtrack, and witty one liners there isn't much to go on. However, this one works because, at last, the gang (sans Justin) is together. Melanie and Ted are introduced as college friends who meet the rest of the gang at Woody's. Melanie is soon smitten with Lindsay, and Ted with Michael, so the gang of six is formed. Various plots ensue. The best are Emmett's comical foray into the workworld and Mel and Lindz's romance. The author is good at setting the scene in Pittsburgh, although this is ironic since the show itself doesn't do a very good job of disguising Toronto (where it's filmed) for Pittsburgh. There are a few continuity errors. Fans of the show know that Ted has an MBA from Wharton, in Philadelphia, not the University of Pittsburgh, so he wouldn't have been around at this time. Also, Mel and Lindz are established on the show as friends who became lovers, but "AHAW" introduces them as love interests immediately upon meeting. Emmett, on the show, has said that he left Hazelhurst but only got as far as Pittsburgh. In this, we're supposed to believe he lived in LA for two years. All of this makes me wonder who is editing these books. All in all, I enjoyed "Always Have, Always Will." I think this ends the series and that is a good thing. Unlike the show, which I could watch forever, I have grown tired of this enterprise.

the fabulous liberty ave. gang

(...)P>this book was great. read it. along with the two before it.<br>i wish their were more of these.<p>someone said that this book is three years before the series, but why is Justin in fifth grade, he wasn't in eighth grade in episode one??<p>this isn't meant to be a great review, but if I have time, I'll make it one.<p><3

Read the damn book! You'll love it.

I absolutely loved this book! I don't want to spoil too many things. But oh, my god! You absolutely have to read this book. There are of course, many sexed-up paragraphs but there are hilarious ones too... (thanks to the gay and lovable Emmett!) That's all I'm going to say. Ta!

Always Have, Always Will

If you are a QAF fan, you will enjoy this. I read it through in one sitting, couldn't put it down. As with the previous books of this series, it supplies the much desired background information about the times and occurances that shaped the characters lives prior to the QAF show, and introduces some of the show characters not previously seen. As always, leaves you wanting more.
