Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Evan Panos doesn’t know where he fits in. His strict Greek mother refuses to see him as anything but a disappointment. His quiet, workaholic father is a staunch believer in avoiding any kind of conflict. And his best friend Henry has somehow become distractingly attractive over the summer.
Tired, isolated, scared—Evan’s only escape is drawing in an abandoned church that feels as lonely as he is. And, yes, he kissed one guy over the summer. But it’s his best friend Henry who’s now proving to be irresistible. It’s Henry who suddenly seems interested in being more than friends. And it’s Henry who makes him believe that he’s more than his mother’s harsh words and terrifying abuse. But as things with Henry heat up, and his mother’s abuse escalates, Evan has to decide how to find his voice in a world where he has survived so long by avoiding attention at all costs.

Je suis partagée à la lecture de ce livre. J'aime la dynamique entre Henry et Evan, mais les passages avec la mère d'Evan (et aussi son père parfois) m'ont tellement énervé que j'avais du mal à me calmer. C'est assez peu fréquent que je ressente une telle colère en lisant un livre. La fin est aussi arrivée un peu vite à mon goût, je pense qu'il y avait encore pas mal de choses à dire.
