WOW. I don't even know where to begin. I just love this book so much. This book deals with being queer in a small, religious, and conservative place. It talks about the struggle of self-acceptance and the acceptance of the people you love. But what I loved most about this book is Sebastian's journey. You can see how he was at the beginning of the book and how he'd come to terms with himself at the end. It's both heartbreaking and heart-warming. I also like that Sebastian's self acceptance didn't just happen overnight and he didn't just forsake everything he was taught because he fell in love. There were times where I felt that he just wanted to do it- to come out- but then there were days that he forcefully shoves himself back into the closet. And Tanner being a witness to this internal conflict in Sebastian just makes it more sad because what do you say to the guy you love when he's going through something like this? Do you give him courage to step up and show himself to the world at the risk of losing his family and his community? or do you just let him go on hiding knowing you'll have to let him go? SO. MUCH. ANGST. But the ending was just perfect! PERFECT! This book will definitely have you in tears.

I read that book by one sitting. I understood lot of feelings by him and felt myself in Tanner. Well this book was love letter. It's Tanner's and Sebastian's love story. It was emotional. I truly enjoyed but i was not crying. I enjoyed Christina Lauren's writing style. I liked At the end, there were also three chapters written in the third person from Tanner and Sebastian's perspective.
3.5 stars, goodreads really needs to get half stars
oldest book on my tbr read!! read 3 mashed potato books this month mashed potato may got nothing on meee
This book wrecked me, in the best way. Tanner and Sebastian's story exciting and heartbreaking. What drew me to this book at first was the fact that Sebastian's character was Mormon and I wanted to see how that part of his life would effect their budding relationship.
