This book was not what I was expecting. I was expecting a YA m/m coming of age story
and it is that but it is so much more.
There are several threads running through this often times painful story
but the underlying theme is love and the nature of love and in the end like
love it was so worth it.
Harry’s father is a monster, not literally but a monster all
the same. He knows what love is but has
never experienced it or left himself open to it and it has colored his view on
life and in turn he has made Harry’s life a living hell. Now at a new boarding school Harry has for
the first time found a friend in his roommate brainy, gay comic book artist Antonin. Antonin has survived some traumatic childhood
experiences and with his over-protective mother and extended family come out of
it with a great and giving heart. Now
Harry’s father wants to destroy all the light that has come into Harry’s world
since he and Antonin have become friends.
Will love concur all or will evil triumph?
I received a copy of this book in return for an honest
review. This book will keep me thinking
for a long time to come. Take nothing at
face value and have a tissue handy. This
book was at times emotionally tough to read but then there were moments of pure
joy.
