review 1: I wasn't sure what to expect when reading McCoubrey's coming of age novel, but what a wonderful surprise it was for me! It took me back to my own youth as his style reminded me of the great books I read at that age. (Only the books I read didn't allow for same-sex relationships.) I very much enjoyed this book and can't recommend it enough to those who love romance, mystery and if you are older like me...a little nostalgia as well.
review 2: I purchased his novel One Boy's Shadow and read it recently. This novel was the first LGBTQ genre novel I have read. I wondered if I would relate to a romance between two young men. I did, attraction is universal, those first feelings of nervous butterflies no matter the object spoke to me. I also, as I read the novel found
... moremyself mentally imagining myself as one of Caleb's parents. I have a son, how would I handle the conversations Caleb had with his parents if he was my son? The romance told in this novel has an added twist of a mystery as well. The home Caleb and his family move to is haunted. I'm personally a wuss and there were some scenes early on that made my heart rate jump a bit. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves young love, mysteries, and family dynamics. less
