Ariana (mostly offline)'s Reviews > Edge of Forever

*4,5 stars*

I loved it.
I inhaled it.
I found the 'new' scenario really refreshing and captivating. (and the fact that it's based on truth made it even better!)



I adored the MCs:
How could you possibly NOT adore Sasha? He is so genuine and vulnerable but has the courage of a lion. I could only take my hat off to his unwillingness to budge to bullies. And the way he tackles his life with so much optimism. Despite everything.
Levi is the quiet one who has trouble with relationships (which is not exactly surprising considering his past) You could see he was fooling himself about his feelings all along, but boy, did it take him forever to actually own them!

I went through a huge variety of emotions:
anger, fury, desperation, anguish, surprise, joy and laughter.
I laughed.
I giggled.
I snorted. Sasha's snarky banter and clever sarcasm really made my day!



And yet - This is about two guys who overcome an equally disturbing past to be who they are together, so the author touches upon a lot of serious themes: abuse, conversion therapy, drugs...
Which all leads to an ear-piercing crescendo in the last 20 percent! That was kind of unexpected.

All in all - This is fabulous book by a very talented author.
