3.5 stars. Review posted March 16, 2014 "I am in your summers." While Our Last Summer is a pretty impressive debut, it doesn't measure up to Matthew's Vivaldi in the Dark series.

Although this book was about two 16 year old MCs, it didn't really feel like a YA book to me. Yes, there were the normal YA elements, coming out, bullying, a first kiss. But it was also about clinical depression and having no one to turn to and no way to ask for help. It was about parents who don...

Why I read YA. I've been avoiding writing a review for this, because sometimes I just have a hard time finding the right words to express my thoughts. And also because Kaje Harper's review already pretty much already expresses everything I felt perfectly. So check hers out (if it's not on here, o...

4 sensitive stars.****Review completed February 13, 2014Matthew J. Metzger had me at…The baton came down, the bows came up, and the storm ended. The silence was as ringing as the strings, and rolled in like an angry tide to reclaim the stage, flooding over the orchestra until the very last memory of...
It was a good book, powerful and beatifully written, and I liked it more and more as the story moved along, although really not much happens plot wise. It is really very character driven. Alex's struggle with abuse and Ryan coming to terms with the way Alex sees it (up to when he could not of course...
