review 1: I liked the book, but it didn't blow me away. I found myself much more engaged during the first half of the book than the latter half.During the last half, the story began to feel every bit of its 434 pages, with a lot of droning on that I found harder to stay focused on than in previous pages.I actually ended up liking Justin (slightly) more than Trey, but it seemed that as soon as we found out about Justin's insecurity issues, we never again saw the slightly cocky, in-your-face side of Justin that drew Trey to him to begin with.Also, if you're a grammar Nazi, then the incorrect use of 'to' vs. 'too' is bound to make you a little nuts. It also seemed like the author found a thesaurus and was *dying* to pull quite a few seldom-used words out of it to spray here and there ... morelike lawn fertilizer. Kind of odd coming from Trey, who never mentioned that he was ever decent in English or any type of a reader. It left me feeling like, ‘from whose butt did that word get pulled?’I do want to read the sequel when it's released; however, if you're looking for other abuse-themed books that (IMHO) are better, my suggestions would be 'The Sky is Dead' by Sue Brown or 'Silent' by Sara Alva. Both of those books were well-paced and keep your attention from first to last page.3 ½ ★'s, rounding up.
review 2: This was a surprisingly enjoyable story about a rentboy with serious phobias resulting from traumatic sexual abuse as a child. Although, the story deals with a dark subject matter I didn't find it overly dark or depressing - I was quite fascinated by how one deals with that type of severe trauma as an adult. There are a few typos and it's pretty long, but I am looking forward to reading the second book in this series. less
