Wow…It’s been awhile since I read a book that just moved me the way this book did.I mean….I went into this book thinking it was going to be a quick & easy read.Ohhh boy…Was I wrong! This book took me for a ride!My emotions were all over the place!!It had me happy, sad, heart broken, hopeful, angry. I was ugly crying!!Out of all the books I’ve read. I’ve only ugly cried twice!Now….I can add this book too!!This is a kind of book that just stays with you long after your done reading it.It was beautifully written! I felt what they were feeling.All the trials and tribulation of young love. The innocence of it all.But… this couple had so much more to overcome. & I felt the author really did a good job making us see that.Davis is a shy & awkward kid.A bit of a loner. He notice right away that he wasn’t like all the other boys.He didn’t know how to deal with it. So he had to just find a way to deal with it by himself.& Ryan was an all American boy.Good looks.. On the football team. He Had everything going for him. But he too was not like all the other boys.I felt that Ryan found David out of all the people in school…he saw him & just gravitated to him. Ryan went out of his way to form a friendship. & out of this friendship…formed a everlasting love between them. A bond so strong that truly will last till the end of time.They both overcame obstacles that most couples wouldn’t have to.Because of the love they had for each other. They over came them all.They were able to be them self in a time that wasn’t really acceptable to gay couples.Ryan“I realized you were my shelter,” he had said. “You are where I can read my happy ending. Where everything is okay. I just wish I could thumb-forward to the pages to our first kiss in the garden, to chapter 5 and see what wonderful things happen to us. And then to chapter 7 like there was a great adventure there. And to know, after all was said and done, The bad guys lose, the good guys win, and the last chapter reads: happily ever after. It would be a nice thing to know.”The ending of the book left me wanting more. It’s a good ending…But… when you read the book you will understand.I just felt that some things needed to be addressed. & you never get those answers tothe questions that you have. But, your still satisfied with the Ending.David & Ryan’s story will forever be with me.& I really hope the author will reconsider & write a novella or a second book…lol(yes, wishful thinking!!)I’m sure it would make us fans very happy to continue the story of David & Ryan!!If I could give this book 10 plus stars I would!Would I read more books by this author…YES!!!-MichelleWe Like It Big Book Blog
