review 1: This was a decent book but it just didn't quite work for me. The main character was dealing with a lie his parents told, which affected all of his decisions throughout the entire book. Maybe I am just too old or well adjusted, but I just didn't see this lie as being so huge that he needed to act like he did. So, the characters, writing, and setting were all right but the storyline just didn't seem believable to me.
review 2: I love a good guy-lit reality fiction book. They are rare! This book was honest and raw, real and relatable, and all of the characters - main and supporting, were likeable, laughable and inspiring. 16 year old Nick is starting his junior year, when he finds out that his "perfect" family has a secret. Now, it's not the kind of secret that ri... moreps a family apart or has dire consequences, but Nick struggles to deal with the implications all the same. He has always had a great relationship with his parents and now he begins to doubt the stability of his life. At the same time, he finally gains the courage to go after the girl of his dreams, but because of his family drama, he acts out against their relationship and potentially ruins the best thing he has. This book was deep and introspective. The emotions and process that Nick went through were understandable and caused me to do my own self-evaluation! I highly suggest this book. less
