review 1: A brilliant short story that I really enjoyed. S J Frost took a very important message and turned it into a heartwarming little story.The problems gay teens face are very real and heartbreaking. This story did not hide from that fact, but offered hope that there is people who care about you and will support you, if you look hard enough to find them.I will admit to being a fan girl of Jesse and Evan, and to see them again in this one as well as Brandon and Shun, was what made reading this a highlight for me.The only problem I had with this, and I actually find it in all of the books of this series, is some of the dialogue seems a little forced, and not how real people talk. It has never stopped me from loving these books though.
review 2: 3.5 starsFinding a Drea
... morem is about bullying, being true to yourself, supporting others and friendship. We get a little bit more of Brandon and Shunichi's story from the Conquest series.I would have given 4 stars, but some of the writing kept ripping me out of the story. At times, Finding a Dream read like an after school special. While the information provided was relevant to the story and I enjoyed revisiting Brandon, Shunichi, Jesse and Evan, I felt like some of the book was preachy. But, I did like the book. It had relevant subject matter, unfortunately, for this day and age. This may have been the purpose of Finding a Dream. The author provides a message at the beginning of book that states she and her editor will be donating their royalties from this story to the Trevor Project. less
