This is the second time I want to put more than the maximum five stars for a book, and each time it is for a YA or NA .This book is writing with an infinite tenderness , and we feel perfectly well the love of the author for her characters, whether for Trent or Sheldon . They have been friends since childhood and arrive at the dawn of majority together through all the obstacles life or fate throws at them . Yet they are as different as night and day , both physically and in their everyday lives .Sheldon had understanding parents , magnets and who support him whatever his choices , while conversely , Trent faced with an abusive father , violent, alcoholic and a mother who seems to have abandoned everything and refuses to leave her husband despite his abuse of their only child and to herself .Following a tragedy , Trent finds himself living with Sheldon and his parents and the two young men then began a slow discovery of what could be more than friendship .What I love about this book is that despite the fact that it is relatively short (120 pages) , Trent and Sheldon take the time to explore , to ask questions , rewind and forward slowly . Their love grows, runs and goes according to events that are growing and evolving . The story is very realistic, so that we really attach to these two characters who are surrounded by Sheldon's parents on one side and the sheriff on another.These are two young men we want to hold in our arms to comfort them and help them move forward .Once the book started, I guarantee you will not be able to rest before getting to the end and regrets - despite everything - their story is so short .A book that I highly recommend.
