I usually have a problem when folks go off on the realism in a fictional story. I think it's wrong. The author has no obligation to stick to realistic ideals in a book. It's fiction. But some stories need to keep some realism. Because of the subject, I don't think the story would have worked without...

Should I name them all?!Shortly:A gay student who has a gay friend since 9 months and they still haven't touched each other, except holding hands.

Why are you doing this Curtis? But I know why. I can't help myself. I can't let him go. I'm as bound to him as the moon to the earth. He keeps me in orbit; and maybe I do the same for him. Since when the last time I really cried over a book? Few days ago? Weeks ago? But honestly this story did a gre...
I borrowed this book from the library and waited until my time was almost up to sit down and read it. This was both a good thing and a bad thing. I wish I had read this sooner, it's that good, but I haven't had the time to just sit and read in weeks. This is one of those books I devoured from start ...
Just Between Us is a great book. It is appropriate for the YA audience while still being mature and layered enough for her adult fans. This book doesn’t come out until late September. Please do yourself a favor if you haven’t read Don’t Let Me Go and Where You Are please read them while waiting for ...
Mostly enjoyed this story. I appreciated the character development and their background stories, particularly Robert's relationship with his Dad. It was a different perspective for a dying parent scenario and one that I hadn't really considered before. My issue with this book is that it romanticise...
Horribly bad grade school stereotypes abound! I liked the overall plot, but the characters were just so nasty and mean. Homophobic (look at Nic) and sexist (look at Maya and Jennifer). I'm still really surprised at all the hate that was packed into this book.
And this one goes straight onto my "Yeah but no but yeah conflicted" shelf. It's a 3.5, but rounded up because I can't stop thinking about it. The writing is really good. Really good. The story is also really good. But, and here's where it gets into that morally grey area: it's a book about a studen...
So, before reading this, I was wary. Because in my mind, the student and teacher should be just that. There should be no lines crossed, under any circumstances. But in this one, 24 year old Andrew is the teacher, and 18 year old Robert are the teacher and student, and J.H. changed my mind. Because I...
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...
