  1. I lm so pleased that one of Andy’s paths led to therapy. Thanks for that!
  2. Phew! Laughed and cried. Amazingly well done!
  3. Well…I’m wrecked. Oddly enough I’ve never been more worried about Andy. His choice, his name, he made that clear. His future? One way to find out…
  4. Another trip to the tissue box …
  5. Quoting you to love this twice ❤️
  6. “I’m just a kid, after all.” So many wonderful things, people, moments in this holiday chapter but I was stopped, dead in my tracks, my thoughts by that line. He’s just a boy. Just a boy. I’ve said too much, offered too much commentary, over the course of my binge read, Author, I’m aware. Your words have changed my weekend and my world view. Thank you.
  7. The tenderness of this robs me of words.
  8. How on earth does this resolve without secrets being shared? Bared. Safe and warm. So simple yet so elusive. My heart is heavy for Andy / Stefan. Don’t want to lose Stefan…
  9. The way you close circles is brilliant. Heart wrenching but brilliant.
  10. I’m going to be a little contrary here. I feel extremely proud of Andy. Was this absolutely awful? Yes. Yes it was. Did he just stand up for himself? Yes! Yes he did!! You made me tremble inside and out @Parker Owens. Ugly chapter, heart racing, hands shaking, plain ugly. And yet I’m so proud of him. Beautiful.
  11. The ambiguity of “time to anticipate” troubles me.
  12. If only every kid who felt different, queer or otherwise, had parents like Zander’s… The transition from that intrinsically warm moment with mother and son embracing to Andy (I’m loathe to lose Stefan) simply stating “I’m cold” hit me hard. Gotta remember the reviews that brought me this far. A is going to get to Z or Z is going to get to A before my heart breaks. Right? Right …
  13. Go prove that scumbag dad wrong!
  14. Filmstrips!!! And cards from the card catalog? As a very analog middle-aged reader the AV closet was a delight.
  15. “How can you have a downward spiral when you’re in hell to begin with? “ Heartbreaking. That line is going to stay with me. I love this guy no matter what name he uses. Plenty of choices from A to Z, huh?

    Plain Luck

    I’m going to miss Eustace. I’m sure Stefan will too. Or Eric. One heart, two identities. Where’s the lifeguard? 😉

    Chapter 14

    Thank you for telling us! Wainwright is how I pictured young Rufus all along. Dark Star was a pleasure to read!

    August Escape

    It’s Friday, 10:49pm. I can’t leave him, them, alone. I’m invested and I’m close to tears. Funny thing? I’m writing this as a thank you note. @Parker Owens Love them both. Mostly worried for Stefan. Eric is so much stronger than he knows. Hope everyone is on snooze

    August Escape

    I chose the ‘sad’ reaction even though love would be true as well. I suppose he wouldn’t meet the lifeguard if he stayed on the farm. But still…💔

    I’ve convinced myself the lifeguard is Toby. While mystery is a favorite genre I am impatient while in suspense. No good clues in the comments so I’ll read on. Redhead pinched face? One word: karma

    Interrogation

    My mind wanders to Martina McBride’s song Independence Day. Fitting anthem for Stefan. Hope freedom rings and nothing else happens. Only one way to find out…
  22. Couldn’t agree more. I’m so fearful for him, them, at this point. Good things easily turn bad.

    This chapter is the first that brought tears to my eyes. I couldn’t weep for all the ugliness. Set your jaw and move on when life isn’t good, right? A tenderness set in here that I hope continues for a minute. A long minute? So good @Parker Owens

    A Journal

    Quoting you so I can love this comment twice❤️ Thank you for taking time to encourage me onward. I don’t think I could put this down at this point.

    “No time to stop and say sorry.“ Seems that line is a summary in a way. There’s a duality here to figure out. Eric is doing things to keep Stefan alive. There’s a level of detail here that feels very real. Very experienced. Lived. Turn the page Stefan…
