A review by aftgandreil
The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley by Shaun David Hutchinson

5.0

"The walls no longer hold me. Out there is where I want to be."

God, this book was so very beautiful in every single painful way possible. I was hooked from the very first sentence, each comic strip to the very last line. Andrew Brawley is such a rare gem of a character that I just want to bottle up and remember on rainy days and days when I forget to spread happiness and love to the ones that matter most to me. I fell in love with just about every single character. The beautiful duo Lexi and Trevor. Rusty, who deserved so, so much better than he was given. Arnold, Jo, Steven, Emma and every character in between. My heart is actually aching as I write this review at almost midnight on a Wednesday night. I don't think anything I could ever write would live up to the pure art I just discovered in Shaun's writing. This is definitely one of those books that will stay with me from here on out.
