Some people spend their whole lives looking for the right partner. Nate Schaper found his in high school. In the eight months since their cautious flirting became a real, heart-pounding, tell-the-parents relationship, Nate and Adam have been inseparable. Even when local kids take their homophobia to brutal levels, Nate is undaunted. He and Adam are rock solid. Two parts of a whole. Yin and yang.But when Adam graduates and takes an off-Broadway job in New York--at Nate's insistence--that certainty begins to flicker. Nate's friends can't keep his insecurities at bay, especially when he catches Skyped glimpses of Adam's shirtless roommate. Nate starts a blog to vent his frustrations and becomes the center of a school controversy, drawing ire and support in equal amounts. But it's the attention of a new boy who is looking for more than guidance that forces him to confront who and what he really wants. Tender, thoughtful, and unflinchingly real, Don't Let Me Go is a witty and beautifully written account of young love, long-distance relationships, and learning to follow your heart. "Don't Let Me Go is a charming story. Trumble's love for the characters is evident on every page, and it's contagious." -- Robin Reardon, author of A Secret Edge

How do I feel about this book?Confused. Definitely confused.This book is actually hard for me to review. There were parts I loved, parts I hated, and parts that left me just being like "what the shit?"The beginning of the book was exciting and fun. I did, however, quickly get annoyed and confused wi...
This is an intense, emotional and gritty contemporary. I connected with Nate and felt his pain. We see all sides to this relationship, the present and then different things in flashbacks throughout the book. We get to see the uncertainty, the flirting, an even that is traumatic for Nate, and pie...
So bottom line: I Fucking Loved This Book.Now, that said, I must give fair warning because there are some of you out there who are just plain picky, and if you're not going to like it, then you should know now so you can skip it. There are some issues in this book that, while they didn't bother me, ...
Note: This is more like a rant, not a review.I was going to rate this at least two stars. For Adam. And because for the first 1/3 of this book, I was hooked and absorbed and anticipating another great YA book. So, it was a great beginning.But I rate books mostly on my reading experience, what I'm le...
I liked everything in this book. Absolutely everything. Sure, there were moments I didn't like how the main characters acted, but, what the hell, everyone's got claws. The ending was just perfect, even a little bit too perfect, but I think they all deserved it.4 stars.
