Summary
Alex hasn’t been the same for a while. From quitting the basketball team, to spending the last two months isolated from people, Alex has changed. Now that he and his dad moved to Riviam Point, he isn’t sure if he’s ready to begin a new life, even if he won’t miss his old life that much. It’s a good thing that Carsyn, his penpal of one year, lives in Riviam Point and might be able to help him adjust. The bad thing is that her friends are relentlessly pushing him to make more socially-charged choices than he knows what to do with.
Review
This has been a light and enjoyable read! There's always something about moving to a new place that makes an exciting opening in any genre of fiction. It gives that thrill of anticipating how a person would be able to adapt to a new environment; new beginning means new challenges. I also like that this book doesn't only focus on young love, but also on blossoming relationships between experienced adults who have had their hearts broken before. And that’s what I love the most, the fact that this book is a coming-of-age story and at the same time, a contemporary drama and romance that both young adult and adult readers will be able to relate with, especially the LGBT community. Overall, I’m giving this book 5 out of 5 stars for its diverse and well-developed characters, relatable family and social issues, intriguing plot, and well-written narrative. This story is highly recommended.
