Be The Father Of This Child!

Fantastic story addressing rejection and trauma experienced early in teen development, which can affect behavioral developments of the adult. Theo/April/Wednesday feeling rejection from his father immediately after his mother’s death and from Jett after their summer encounter. Jett feeling rejection from his mother’s death, his father’s absence, and Theo’s “disappearance”. 

April using multiple identities and Jett’s anger management issues stemming from trauma and traveling their path due to the consequences of their trauma was a great ride. Although childhood trauma experienced by gay men and women is an unfortunate common occurrence, the method in which the story navigates the journey was realistic.

Sometimes, it takes an event like the disappearance of a true love or the unexpected birth of a child to force someone to address their trauma and come to terms with their true desires. Jett knew deep down that April was Theo, but he could not bring himself to deal with that reality despite struggling with Carina’s insight into whether he was simply using April as a doppelgänger of Theo. Childhood trauma can be a powerful resistance force even if reality is right in front of your face, literally.

I did enjoy the story. I liked when April was raising Jay. And miss Jay in the last 3 or 4 chapters of the story. Would have liked to have known what happened to Carina after 5 years. Is she still living with April and Jett, or has she met someone and living with him or her? If so is she close by or how are they sharing Jay's living arrangement. But all in all pretty good story.

Really enjoyed spending time with the guys!  Hope at some future time,  there might be  a sequel to enjoy as well.  Thank you for a great story!

A wonderful, lighthearted tale, with engrossing characters who grow on you so quickly that you get wrapped in their doings and emotions before you realize it. I looked forward to every new chapter, and now I'll be at a loss. Really well done!

A riveting tale of growing up - eventually - and finding your truth, even if it does mean having to take the extra scenic route. As always, a reliably entertaining read. Highly recommended.

Excellent story - the development of the characters are outstanding,

Great story and I enjoyed every chapter.  Thanks for sharing your most creative talents.

A story of two people who have lived very different lives - brought together by a shady situation - surprised by a baby on the doorstep - who actually knew each other seven ears prior - but fall in love under the craziest of circumstances!  A good read!
