I can still remember the time finishing up "End of the Innocence" how awful I felt after reading it.  It was not because the book was bad but because how bad it ended for Kelly Aimes.  I remembered in the end of feeling heavy in the chest.  Sad, angry, guilty we're among the many emotions that enveloped my senses.As a book of fiction, I am fully aware that there might be  thousands or even millions of Kelly Aimes out there who are in  need of protection.  Protection from discrimination- race, color,  sexual orientation, religious beliefs, political beliefs, etc.  Discrimination comes in different forms and it is present everywhere.I'm so glad to have read this one as retribution from the last book.  At least this ended on a happy note.  Of course, I may have shed a lot of tears from reading it, no surprise there.A tribute to Kelly Aimes...  I still felt such a great loss as I read through the book on how everyone made it through graduation, except for Kelly (Jeremy as well).  So much drama had happened that it made them survivors.  This is war- as they declared it, by this new generation.  Stronger and open to possibilities.  As probably predicted, the world is changing and we're not afraid.  To every hater or bigot out there, we are changing them one person at a time as the message suggests.Kyle and Brad- you're both my heroes!!!  This is something worth reading for...
