Gone, Gone, Gone by Hannah Moskowitz
5.0
Check out my full review on my blog, The Story Salve.
Gone, Gone, Gone is one of those books that will break your heart and then put it back together again, all in the span of 250 pages.
Some reasons you should read this book:
* authentic teen voice that’s intensely quotable: Hannah Moskowitz gives me writer envy so hard
* gay book that isn’t about coming out with super accepting families on both sides
* revisiting recent history: post 9/11 sniper shootings & how growing up in this era affects the characters’ worldviews
* interracial romance with the “but we can’t be together” trope: Craig & Lio are both my new fictional besties that I just want to hug so damn much
* raw mental health talk deals with grief honestly: Lio struggles with suvivor’s guilt over his twin brother’s death, while Craig deals with getting over his ex
Overall Recommend:
This is a great choice for Pride Month—it’s highly readable and doesn’t focus solely on coming out. Both Craig and Lio are adorable and huggable and pretty much my new besties—and I’m sure they’ll be yours too!
My full review will be on my blog, The Story Salve, as of June 28.
