Desert Dropping An Ordinary World

This is a wonderful story from a great author. A classic must-read that will have you hooked from the first chapter. The main character, although frustratingly obstinate, has enough quality to keep the reader on his side. One of my favourites.

Twists, turns, pulls at your emotions from all sides. Rollercoaster? Switchback more like! As you exhaustedly crawl through the last sentences of the last chapter you feel like you could do with ...... more.

Out of all of DomLuca's stories (at least that I've read) this one is my favorite. The read was an emotional rollercoaster, and it had me giggling to myself at some moments and crying at others. Beautifully written, and definitely worth reading <3

AMAZING! DomLuka does a superb job with character development, storyline, emotional connection, and so much more. Definitely a must read on Gay Authors. 

This was a very enjoyable story it made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made very happy!

I am sure you will in enjoy it! I plan on reading more of  DomLuka story's

This story was great, the way it starts has you hooked. The continuous changes and developments in both the story and characters will have you wanting to read more and more. The story overall is thoroughly interesting and definitely deserves a read

Great Story, I really enjoyed it…

Q

Desert Dropping is a classic coming-of-age story. And to be bold for a moment: DomLuka's best.

The premise is simple - Rory's mom dies of cancer, and her last wish is for him to be sent to Arizona to live with his dad, whom he has never met before. Plenty of plot twists, surprises, and emotional rollercoasters await.

Admittedly, the lead character, Rory, can be quite infuriating at times (especially in the first half and the penultimate arc). Sometimes you just want to grab him by the shoulders, shake him, and scream "what the hell are you doing!?"... But he does get better, and ends up being quite memorable. The same goes for the other leads - they are all memorable in their own right and I like them all.

Speaking of characters: I felt that Jase ended up a bit underused, though he does get some good screen time during the final arc. While the focus is primarily Rory and Eddie's relationship, I still would've loved to see more scenes with him.

There are some minor formatting errors (particularly around italicized phrases), though I suspect this might be a result of the multiple CMS changes that have occurred since Desert Dropping was first published.

Some thoughts that contain spoilers:

A must read. 5 stars.

Good story, but you will need steel nerves in the beginning, some characters are exasperating.

All the characters are so unlikable
