“for one moment in time,
two lonely astronauts floating in space,
finally find each other.”
Lo amé demasiado.
Algo que he visto en algunos de los libros que hablan de una minoría específica, es que descuidan a otra, por ejemplo, si habla del racismo, tiene varias conductas machistas y esas simplemente se ignoran, y siempre me ha dado un gran conflicto, este libro no, James Brandon se las ingenia para hablar de muchos temas importantes y a todos darles la importancia que se merecen.
No puedo imaginar mi vida sin poder ser quien soy realmente, viendo como toda la sociedad simplemente ha decidido que estoy enferma por ser yo, por mis gustos, por amar. Si bien me gusta pensar que siempre mejoramos, todavía nos falta mucho.
Una parte demasiado importante para mí siempre han sido los personajes, y una de las cosas que más me cautivo fueron justamente ellos, Jonathan y Web, con su simplicidad, hacían que se me derritiera el corazón, Starla es todo lo que está bien en el mundo, aunque los otros personajes siempre parecen estar en contra de ellos, me parecieron todos muy realistas.
Las partes de los tratamientos me revolvían el estómago y me sacaron más de una lágrima. Nadie merece vivir en un clóset, y creo que este libro es simplemente una manera de decir; no estás solo, aguanta un poco más.
No le doy 5 estrellas por el final, estuvo demasiado abierto para mi gusto, pero todo lo demás fue una obra de arte, la escritura atrae, los personajes enamoran y no puedo decir otra cosa mala del libro.
4/5

So this was pretty damn close to a freaking 5 star except for a few things I didn’t like.
I was not a fan of the setting. Except for the amazing plot I would have never read this as I don’t like books set in the 20th century. So happy I was able to overcome my prejudice and read this anyway.
I hate how fast the ending was wrapped up. Also call me crazy but I was a bit disappointed it was hea. I mean a lot actual people in the seventies very likely didn’t have that hea.
Things I loved.
Jonathan. I literally cried at times while he struggled. I can’t believe the things he went through. I really hate his dad as he doesn’t seem to truly care for him.
I love Web!!! I especially love that he was much more confident and that his family was so excepting.
I love Starla! She is an amazing friend and I love her. If for some reason Jonathan has to stay in the closet I would want her to be his cover. Such a cute couple!
I love the teacher. I can’t remember his name. The one that let Web’s family stay.
I love that one cop. I’m so glad he put Hal in prison!!!! I hope the rednecks beat his ass when he’s out.
I don’t know how to feel about Scot. Lots of mixed feelings there.
Also very conflicted about his psychiatrist.

Wow, just wow. I hope to come back to this with a more thorough review. All I can say for now is I loved the writing style, the characters, the story arc, and the central powerful and important message. If you haven't read this...pick it up. This is definitely a new favorite!

At this point I find it hard to give a book that thoughtfully addresses the intersection of queer and class issues anything lower than 4 stars. The beautifully described scenes in this book, the main three being the school, the house, and the lake, take this over the edge. Love historical gay stuff.
This story made me cry so many times. Like I was so heartbroken for Jonathan. I wanted to take him away from his family and protect him. This story was so moving.
