I have sort of mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand I loved it, it kept me glued to my Kindle to see how things between Eddie and his lifelong crush, and his dad’s best friend, Lee, would develop. On the other hand, I wanted to scream in frustration at the unfairness of their situation, Lee’s hesitancy and outside world interference. I guess I am just the kind of girl that doesn’t think or consider any obstacles where love is concerned, so the (very reasonable) reasons that hindered or delayed their being together just made me want to scream and cry in frustration.

I loved Eddie, he is young but very mature for his age, having had to grow up way too soon, and he is the one keeping a level head while Lee, let’s face it, has more than one freakouts throughout the book. Honestly, though, trying to keep Eddie alive and safe while figuring out his feelings for him and questioning his loyalty to his best friends may not have been the easiest of things.
