Synopsis
Aiden Lawrence avoids – his feelings, that is. He’s been doing this for the last five years, ever since his parents… well, he doesn’t want to talk about it. And he doesn’t want to talk about just being dumped, either.
Until he starts his senior year of college and finds Jude teaching one of his classes.
From there, Aiden begins a journey of coming to terms with past trauma, overcoming being sexually assaulted by his ex-boyfriend, dealing with nosy university officials, and coping with the standard stresses of too many siblings who all know what’s best for him.
Avoiding Aiden is a story about love – and being brave enough to not only give love, but receive it as well.

[…] Avoiding Aiden by Chris Cole (LGBTQ Fiction of 2021/2022) […]
I love how relatable this book seems. Despite not being an LGBTQ+ member myself, I think a lot of us can identify with not wanting to face our feelings. I, especially, can relate to having people around me who always seem to know what’s best. And I applaud the fact that the author deals with the horrible reality of sexual assault in men because it’s something that’s rarely talked about.
