I'm wondering though, how Nate became king of the roost, so to speak. It's not explained in this book at all. Maybe it will be in the other two books in this series?...more

Look, I had to hold in my rage all throughout this thing, and that was the only thing not making me succumb to the anxiety this book induced in me.
Slight spoilers:
Ezra's mom: Evil bitch. No redeeming qualities. Put her ass under the jail. Ezra's dad: Ain't shit absentee who created a new family with Josh and his mom and didn't do shit to keep in regular contact with his son. How do you not know where your son is at any given time? How do you not know his medical history? Why wouldn't you go looking for your son when he disappeared? WHERE TF WERE YOU, YOU SONSABITCH?! [image]

...Josh's dad: Ain't shit absentee who created a new family with a woman who doesn't want Josh around. HOW DOES YOUR SON NOT HAVE A ROOM AT YOUR HOUSE???? Josh's mom: Besides some things that she could REALLY work on, like, not letting anyone, including Ezra, shit talk her son just to make them comfortable, she doesn't seem like she was all that terrible. The bar is in hell, though, so she could literally be dead and still be a better parent than the other 3.
Those other 3 can have a big ol slice of shit pie.

I felt so much for Ezra during the toughest battles of his mental health. He was afraid to be happy, afraid to make anyone happy, and that's just no way to live.
Josh...I just can't help but think that his inability to NOT be a do-gooder is some sort of trauma response. That's just not normal, ya know? Like, I feel that he was neglected, certainly by his dad, but also by his mom to a degree. (view spoiler)[Like, she knew he was gay, and never said anything. Never opened up the channels of communication to have that conversation. Josh was literally a child when she knew, so of course he wasn't going to come to her first. She knows what kind of relationship she fostered with her son. Open and honest ain't it. (hide spoiler)]
I'm glad they got to have some found family. The boys definitely needed it.
With all that said...this book wasn't even that traumatic, idk what everyone's been talking about. ...more

It is with much sadness that I am announcing that I'm abandoning this book. There's nothing BAD about it. I just didn't click with it. There was a lot of mystery built up about seemingly mundane things, and my poor nerves just couldn't take it.
It seems like most others in the GR Keenk buddy read discord liked it, though!
I'm counting it as a read because I got to 55% and this book is long AF....more
