I started this book right after I finished [b:End of the Innocence|16145072|End of the Innocence (Tales from Foster High, #4)|John Goode|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1352714749s/16145072.jpg|21978061] and Only in the middle of it I realized that there's another book before it, but that book is from another couple so I didn't affect the quality and I wasn't lost at all.
This book is about a lot of things, Kyle's vision to make a change in his school before he graduates, he doesn't want to let what happen in the previous christmas break be forgotten, he needs to make people see that change is necessary the problem is, he is not sure yet how.
There a few other storilnes mentioned here that are explored in other books of the series, which I loved because I was left very curious about three characters, about their past and future.
There a few POVs scatter throughout the book that made you understand the people in the story and the story whole a bit more, this I honestly felt it was too much BUT in didn't bothered me enough to change my rating because in the end those POVs made me apreciate the story as whole a little bit more.
I love what John goode has done with this series because it touches a lot of important issues that homosexual people and teenagers in general deal with all the time, yes things are changing but sadly not fast enough.
The thing is though, this book is not only about those things, this is a beautiful love story about two very different but very strong boys. My love and respect for Brad and Kyle only grew in this book, they had a lot of growing to do.
I liked finding out things about the past of this town and the last chapter gives you hope for the future, even if whatever books come next in the series are not set in the town we know that things are going to improve because in the end Kyle and Brad did it, they changed things.
