touch on it but not in depth.
Gaze moved into the building next to Pixie when they were
11. They were inseparable until one fateful
night when Gaze’s father nearly killed him.
Pixie broke both of their hearts by telling the police what happened and
saving him but putting herself in danger.
Years later when the system decides to send Gaze back to his father they
are reunited, and they will have to find away to work through their past, so
they have a future.
This was a really good but heart wrenching book. Gaze was physically abused by his dad for
years and his mother’s family wanted nothing to do with him. He finally found someone who made him happy
and he loses her, and he was devastated by the loss. When they finally come back together, he’s so
happy that she is there until he finds out her stepdad had raped her. As a reader this was heartbreaking because
she had no one she could turn to for help.
There was a small timeline issue for me as in I am not sure when certain
things happened to them. The only ages I
am sure on is they met right before their 12 birthdays, were reunited at 17
almost 18 and the end of the book was when they were 19. This just irritated me a small bit as I wanted
to know it but it didn’t take away from the story just a me issue.
