Bright Things Come to Confusion 1. Killian Kendall Expanded Universe

   (2 reviews)
Genres: Literary Fiction,
Sub-genres: Slice of Life

An empty swing hangs from a tree under a magical moonlit sky.

Before he ever met Killian Kendall in Bleeding Hearts, Seth Connelly was a smart, guarded teen trying to make sense of a world that rarely made sense to him. In Bright Things Come to Confusion, Seth shares how he came to terms with his identity—from the painful clarity of coming out to the bittersweet sting of a first crush. At its heart is a search for belonging, truth, and the father who vanished from his life. As Seth unearths long-buried secrets, he begins to see family—and himself—more clearly. Honest, sharp-witted, and deeply human, this coming-of-age story shines new light on a beloved character.

Seth narrates this tale from the expanded Killian Kendall universe. This story takes place before Bleeding Hearts.

A snapshot of Seth's life before he came to live with his father, the one parent who brought love and joy into his life, something which had been sorely missing from his life in recent years with his toxic mother. 

The story starts with Seth's mother's eviction of his father from the family home, after which she erases him totally from her childrens' life. Seth and his brother Kane sustain each other with little or no input from the bitch who gave birth to them. 

To reveal any more would be a spoiler. Suffice to say this story was not always an enjoyable read, but was an interesting and revelatory one, with Seth's personal growth at the forefront.
