I enjoyed this book a great deal. Reading about Jude's struggles with depression and self acceptance was important. A few echos of what he felt resonated with me, and made the story feel deeper. His relationship with Faron was difficult, and perfect. I loved the way Faron was written. He was a solid, loving presence. Having read all of the Middle of Somewhere books now, I can say I highly recommend all of them. Roan Parrish's writing is beautiful, and I could not put these books down.
