Holy something. That's all I can really say.I don't think I've been so emotional over a book in a while. Skinner does an amazing job developing his characters and making them fit -- perfectly -- into the era in which the story takes place.Memorizing You is a wonderful novel focused on the relationship between two young men in an era when being gay is something often kept secret. What's refreshing, though, is that not only did I fall in love with the two main characters, I fell in  love with many of the supporting ones. (And developed an intense dislike for others.)If this were a heterosexual read, I could easily see it being a Lifetime or Hallmark movie. Not because it's suddenly sappy at the very end, but because it's so powerful and meaningful. I know that won't happen, but one can always hope...
