No sé ni por donde comenzar a reseñar. A pesar de que el tema del incesto no me llamaba mucho la atención, había oído tan buenas críticas que quería leerlo para tener una opinión propia. Tengo que decir que durante la mayor parte del libro he tenido sentimientos encontrados, pues me atraía la fuerza de los personajes y lo real que parecía su historia, pero a su vez no podía dejar a un lado mis perjuicios y olvidar que los protagonistas eran hermanos. Sin embargo, me ha gustado mucho la crudeza de la historia, la fuerza que trasmite y la forma en la que demuestra que a veces es muy duro seguir adelante, pero se puede. Y que decir del final... Simplemente que a pesar de que me lo veía venir, me ha roto el corazón.

This is by far one of the saddest books I have ever read. I honest to God feel a little bit depressed. This is so down trodden that my chest physically aches. Everything about it written so well.
Of course they fell in love because they didn’t have parents and they acted like parents.
I’m not a Hollywood ending typed of person where everything has to end on a great prefect note but I am a person who believes in an optimistic ending. If in the end the mother went to rehab, recognized her problem, or maybe they kids gone into care together? Not sure but I do feel like something should have happened after the suicide. Something that made his sacrifice more worthwhile. Something that even hinted at a better happier future for the kids.
That’s is the only draw back I have. I feel like there was no resolve. It was a moment in time and not a complete ending.
I love the fact that the author had the characters address the same issues that the readers were thinking about. The incest, the crimes, the paranoia...
I also loved the sex seen. Not because I got turned on by it but because you rarely find an wither who writes about how clumsy, bumbling, and awkward the first time can be. How hard it is for guys to last the first time and how the girl feels excited and terrified. I am curious where he suddenly got condoms though. Especially for someone who was always internally thinking about never crossing that line.
Very well written. Tabitha Suzuma is definitely someone I would want to have coffee with and talk writing and stories.

Loved LOCHAN.Loved the book but cried my eyes out.I wish i could read it again but i can't just because of THAT DAMN ENDING.Didn't feel that incestuous to me because of the amazing characters;rather like a sweet,loving and caring family than incest.U R WARNED IT'S GONNA BREAK UR HEART (i never cried after any book as this one) and WILL LEAVE U DEVASTATED.As for me after reading this book its FORBIDDEN for me forever.
NO AMOUNT OF WORDS CAN EXPLAIN MY PAIN AND LOVE FOR IT and i promised myself i'm not going to read any book without a guaranteed HEA again.(R.I.P LOCHAN):(:(:(

Libro unico nel suo genere, che lascerà un alone di tristezza. L'autrice è molto brava a descrivere la disperazione dei due protagonisti e non potrete non capirli. Un libro che merita di essere letto anche se triste e commovente.

This book was too much.
Although I didn't like author's writing style, methods, or ways of over dramatizing her writing and making it seem way more melodramatic than it actually was. I did appreciate the message behind this story, the story itself.
I personally found this a little hard to get through, it was painful almost, really makes you think about the unfairness of life, and the cruel ways it deals itself.

This book broke my heart over and over and over. Just what I thought the heartache would end I would continue reading to find something more heartbreaking in the last. This This book is a beautiful but tragic story and it is definitely one of the best books I've ever read.

What a horrifying book. So well written, such evocative writing. But horrible.
Like watching a train barreling ahead and no one inside can see that the tracks end at a cliff. But they know the train can’t go on forever.
Reading soundtrack:
* Teil I - Kjartan Sveinsson
* Nearer My God to Thee (instrumental) - the Newton brothers
* Finale from Love Gets a Room Soundtrack- Victor Reyes
* Into the Solar Storm - Volker Bertelmann
* soundtrack from Rurouni Kenshin the Beginning
* On the Nature of Daylight - Max Richter
* Final Ascent (No Time To Die Soundtrack) - Hans Zimmer
