For Rone Forrester, life as a high school student is a roller coaster ride. Though he’s intelligent, good-looking, and athletic, true happiness eludes him. He’s lost his mother to cancer, his hypercritical father is a tyrant, and he spends most of his free time taking care of his little brother, Eli. And to make matters worse, Rone begins to have romantic feelings for his best friend, Carson Harrington.
When Rone is inadvertently outed, his life swirls into turmoil. His father’s homophobia and Rone’s embarrassment at the thought of facing Carson force him to flee to Los Angeles, where he hopes to find a safe haven. Instead, he quickly learns that every moment is dangerous for a homeless teenager. As time passes, Rone navigates through multiple challenges, makes friends who love him for who he is, works hard to achieve his goal of becoming a pediatric surgeon―with all its inherent triumphs and tragedies―and overcomes a failed relationship. Ultimately, his journey teaches him that in order to fulfill his dreams, he has to come to terms with his past.

Rone Forrester and Carson Harrington are best friends. They are inseparable with no secrets between them...except for the secret feelings that Rone has for Carson. Rone doesn't ever intend to act on these feelings though because he knows his best friend is straight and he would rather have him as a friend, than nothing at all. One day, after spending all day painting Carson's grandmother's house - Rone is injured when the ladder breaks. So Carson takes him home and waits while Rone gets cleaned up. When Rone comes back to his bedroom and sees Carson waiting for him, in a moment of lapsed judgement, he walks up to Carson and kisses him. Rone however never gets to find out Carson's reaction because Rone's homophobic father has just witnessed this kiss and kicks Carson out of the house and proceeds to kick the crap out of Rone. It is at this point that Rone decides he can't live like this and after briefly considering suicide he packs his belongings and makes a plan to run the next day. He only leaves behind a scrap of paper with a note to his brother - then he vanishes out of his family's life and his best friends life.

Rone's plans to go to med school seem so far out of reach to him as he lives in a roach motel and works in a Chinese restaurant. Just as things seem they couldn't get any worse...Rone is mugged and beaten. It's at this point his friend and owner of the roach motel takes him to the LGBT center to see if they can help Rone get his life back on track. At the center, he is connected to a benefactor - Mr. Bode - a successful, wealthy, gay man who lost his partner recently and he takes Rone under his care even allowing Rone to change his name to Rone Bode, effectively killing all traces of Rone Forrester and connections to his past.
Fast-forward 10 years and meet Rone Bode, M.D. - a successful pediatric surgeon who is out and proud and making a life for himself. This is the point in the story that Fate comes in and shakes things up... When at a chance meeting Rone is faced with his past and the successful architect Carson Harrington. What will happen? How does Rone feel about Carson after all this time? Does Carson regret what happened between them during their senior year? Will Rone be left alone again -- or could it be that Sometimes Love Lasts?

This is the story of Rone Forrester he is successful in everything. He is a star athlete, an
over-achiever at school, and perfect role model to his little brother Eli and also wants to be a doctor. The only thing that he cannot get and needs the most is his father’s approval. Rone’s father is abusive and horrific events force his hand to make a choice that costs him everything including his best friend Carson. That is where this book leaves other runaway stories in the dust.
Rone ends up homeless living in Los Angeles. This story happens every day but this hopeful story shows that not every kid who runs away ends up working as a prostitute and becomes a drug addict; that is a predictable and easy story to tell. This is a different kind of story, one of hope, love, and compassion. This tells a tale of one of those dark moments when a person can no longer believe in themselves and needs someone to believe in them until doing it on their own becomes possible again. These stories happen too and those moments of extraordinary humanity change a person forever. This story is worth your time and it is one you will not soon forget either.
This is honestly the most powerful book that I have read this year. This book has beautiful writing, splendid dialog, and well-developed characters that you cannot help but love. The end of the story blew me away and it showed that moments of character and integrity are choices. I did not find a moment that the story moved too slowly or that the message was lost in a heavy-handed or preachy approach. Lastly, I love a good happy ending.
I realize that the royalties from the sales of this book benefit the Los Angeles LGBT Center to help homeless youth. I am thrilled that the author is doing this; however, this honestly is not reflected in the enthusiasm and content of my review. I would have said exactly the same thing. I honestly love this book.
