review 1: Ok let's start with saying I don't understand the negative reviews... I don't understand how people saying it wasn't a realistic story.. It was believable to me.. I understand why Jack went to the camp .. His bastard of a dad threatened his little brother Billy and he was tryna protect him.. I also understood why Andrew found himself in his situation as well .. The only thing that was a little frustrating was when he went back with his parents .. Maybe that would not have happened with him being 18 but I understood he needed to graduate for his future with Jack.. This is a GREAT book !! Emotional but believable.. I totally understand and felt the turmoil of these characters... The book doesn't seem like it was written by a teenager it's very well written.. I'm glad I made... more the decision for my self!!! On to the final book
review 2: OMG-Could I have needed more Kleenex. This is second book in Sara York's Southern Thing Series and the continuation of Jack and Andrew's love story. What can I say about this book except that the reality of this situation will slap you in the face. This book picks up where Jack's preacher father has found out he is gay and my God he is not happy about it. The abuse Jack suffers physically is horrible but the emotional pain will leave you heart broken. Andrew is finally getting a little healthier when he has to go back home. Both sets of parents are constantly there and a minute alone feels like a century for these two lovers. Both young men are forced to have faith in their love for each other as bad becomes unbearable in their family life. Jack is sent to a camp to become straight where all they really do is torture you and Andrew is just left for dead after his parents best him to a pulp. The thing that hit home for me is places like the camp Jack is sent do really exist and the ignorance of people believing these place work is so unbelievably sad. I cried and cried at the realization of this. I found my self cheering for Jack just saying "hold on cause Andrew is waiting you can do it. Just survive." I was so emotionally invested in this brilliant story. You can't help it. Sara York is amazing and this story is realistic and beautiful. You don't want to miss this series people. Get it. less
