review 1: This was an honest and emotional read. You could feel the hopelessness that was Theo as he comes to terms with his grief over his partner's death. It is like a life half-lived, routine and work being his mantra of getting through each day until he starts to join in discussions on an internet chat forum and he "meets" Morgan and his world starts to change.It is a long road to acceptance and he hits a few blips along the way, but the characters of Evan, Joel, Peter and even Marco all add colour to his life, especially Morgan.....who has baggage of his own.I really enjoyed this story, it was a journey and then some. It was full of moments of change. acceptance, new discoveries, quirky and sometimes funny bits. But there was a poignant "made me catch my breath" moment when T... moreheo meets with Ben's brother......I am not a crier, but this made me well up! This is not a light and fluffy read, it ended on a "happy for now" with no epilogue, so I am hopeful we will catch up with them in Peter's book. Recommended.
review 2: I don't have anything to say except that I'm pretty much in the minority due to my rating. Almost all the reviews are 4-5 stars but personally I wasn't able to really get into the book and connect to the character. Since hardly anyone else had this problem, I can safely say that it was a personal problem. Due to this, I'd still recommend this book because readers will most likely really enjoy this story. less
