I found it difficult to accept that Danny's dad didn't investigate further the intentions of Dr Wolf and the hospital. It was nice to see for once that there was no unnecessary and overblown angst between the two characters and that it was the outside factors that pulled at their relationship and ultimately brought them back together.Īs ever high school bullying and the scared closeted bully feature - obviously I am well over the age of the characters and my own experiences are very different (given that although I was out at their age I went to school in the UK quite some time ago) but it horrifies me to think that the level of bullying portrayed in YA novels is a true reflection of the US high school system. Their personal/family issues didn't get overwhelmed in the storyline simply by the fact that they were gay. I really liked both Danny and Connor, and it was nice to see two characters who were as secure as it's probably possible to be at that age in their own sexuality. Okay, so I can't write reviews to save my life (well I probably can but I never seem to be happy with them) so, instead some thoughts.
