I am really starting to love Shaun David Hutchinson as an author. This is my second book by him. He’s handle a lot of really complicated topics very well in my opinion and has a fantastic grip on the teenage mind. I am just disappointed by the ending. I felt like it was being built up for something pretty spectacular and I felt like it dropped the ball, except the closer I got to the end I was anticipating being disappointed because it seemed near impossible to create an ending as amazing as the rest of the book.

Bittersweet. Perfectly captures the feeling of endings and new beginnings, entering a new chapter in your life.
Also teeny tiny ace rep, we love to see it

Well, I started my 2020 reading off with a bang.
This book was truly amazing and it kept me guessing right up until the last chapter. I kept trying to figure out what was really going on and I only kinda, sorta figured out right before the last chapter.
My heart did ache for Ozzie, he loved Tommy so much that the thought of not being with him fucked with his head. This book went beyond typical, teenage angst, this book really made me think.
That last chapter gave me hope and in my head, Ozzie and Tommy find each other again in the future, after they had a chance to live a life independently from each other.

I have never been so deeply moved and affected by a story. Ozzie's (and Calvin's) story is so heartbreaking and realistic in a completely unrealistic way. The mind is unpredictable and sometimes people have a hard time trusting reality. I've never read a story surrounding mental illness and depression like this one. Bravo, Shaun David Hutchinson.
(p.s. that little Diego + Henry moment!!!)
