I love reading Marie Sexton. This is the one that I didn't enjoy and its because of me not her. Possible Spoiler! I don't like reading about characters with AIDS or HIV. Nope, I don't like it one bit. Sorry. It really is my hangup. NOPE! I did find everything else to be purely captivating.
This was almost a 5-star read for me - it tackles difficult subjects and does it really well, I think.

Again, Marie Sexton reduces me to an emotional wreck by wrenching my heart out and then sending it soaring with joy at the end.Maybe I'm just a sucker for the stories about the socially inept cases finding their dream, but the insight and empathy that Marie Sexton brings to her writing is second to ...
Another good installment in the Tucker Springs series. It was nice to see Owen's character grow through this book from reclusive and shy, to someone willing to assert himself to get what he wants. Nick, who we briefly met in El and Paul's book, Second Hand, moves in downstairs and becomes the obje...
