While I am a romance junkie at heart, MM romance is relatively new to me. It’s books like this that will keep me coming back!  The emotions oozed off of the pages, even when there were struggles and roadblocks. 

This story is so much more than a love story though. 

When the boys end up at the clinic they have to relearn who they are and what is important to them. Secrets and struggles get in the way, bit with a little help they rediscover who they are, and grow into who they are meant to be. 

The sci-fi elements take it to a whole different level. It is interesting to me how den Dekker was able to address so many current day issues. It’s troubling to see that even I. This advanced world that has been created racism, discrimination, bullying and other horrible issues still run rampant. It was however, heartwarming to see so many fight against this. I guess I took it as  a statement that while we still have a ways to go, there will always be people trying to make the world a better place. 

I read this quite some time ago, and it still lingers in the back of my mind. It’s like remembering something or someone whom you miss, but they still make you smile!
