Seventeen-year-old Evan Panos doesn’t know where he fits in. His strict Greek mother refuses to see him as anything but a disappointment. His quiet, workaholic father is a staunch believer in avoiding any kind of conflict. And his best friend Henry has somehow become distractingly attractive over the summer.
Tired, isolated, scared—Evan’s only escape is drawing in an abandoned church that feels as lonely as he is. And, yes, he kissed one guy over the summer. But it’s his best friend Henry who’s now proving to be irresistible. It’s Henry who suddenly seems interested in being more than friends. And it’s Henry who makes him believe that he’s more than his mother’s harsh words and terrifying abuse. But as things with Henry heat up, and his mother’s abuse escalates, Evan has to decide how to find his voice in a world where he has survived so long by avoiding attention at all costs.

圖書標籤: 身份認同 成長 傢庭暴力 同性戀 Fiction 2018
爛書一本
評分中篇小說。描述一個被長期傢暴的同性戀高中男生的日常生活。討論瞭作為異類的融入、狂熱的宗教信仰、青少年的身份認同、社會和親友對傢暴的態度等等的問題。用詞和句型都沒有很深奧,情節交代得很清楚。描述傢庭的章節非常黑暗壓抑,描述感情發展的章節卻看得人熱血沸騰啊!作者對故事節奏的掌控力一百分!一本沒看到結局根本閤不上的書。看完後我隻覺得“壞人”的人物性格是不是塑造得有點僵硬,壞的理由有點弱,壞得又有點過分啊?看結語時卻發現這是作者由自己的親身經曆改編的,是他寫下來療愈自己的故事。我忽然感覺自己這纔真正讀到瞭整本書最黑暗的部分。總之,極度推薦!

評分不是那種滿頁like的YA作傢好感倍增,而且人物設定也不是特彆YA到離譜,但對於結局感覺仍然沒有解決核心問題,有一些失望
