My full review can be found on the Epilie Aspie Chick blog!
When I read the summary for this book, it intrigued me as not only a great story. This seemed like a wonderful opportunity to talk about depression and suicide in a real wag from how it affects those left behind. Unfortunately, what I ended up with instead is a slow moving tale that didn't take advantage of it's wealth of chances.
With an LGBT couple at the center, there's even more opportunity to discuss difficult topics rarely covered. Ash is depressed with anxiety and a cutting issue. James was in love with him and notified the cops when he disappeared. Instead, it's all missed and blown to hell with the way this story is written. I get it, plot is plot. However, then why add such touchy subjects? Just to add some drama? It should be more than just a characteristic and that's how it feels.
