Another FABULOUS book by Alexander C Berhart: "Lock & West"
Another set of trigger warnings: suicide, mental illness, eating disorders, rape, attempted rape, violence, and probably a few more minor ones.
I loved "Lock & West." Probably more than I liked "There Goes Sunday School." I mean this book is 500+ pages, and I read it in 4.5 hours.
Honestly, I just wanted to wrap these boys up and protect them the entire time. Please go read this book. Trust me, you won't regret it.
["Note To Self: Just Don’t Be Weird
Lock is awkward. He can’t make eye contact, counts when he’s nervous and has to remind himself several times a day how ‘normal’ teens behave. Homeschooled most of his life, he’s resigned himself to a friendless existence at his new Atlanta high school.
Until he meets West.
List Of Reasons Why My Life Is A Mess: How Much Time Do You Have?
West has everything. Looks. Talent. Money. And secrets… so many secrets. Beneath the surface of West’s perfect existence is a pain he’s buried so deep a million therapists couldn’t unearth it and he’s determined to keep it that way. He’s an actor. He can act normal.
But then there’s Lock.
Sometimes Two Wrongs Can Be Right
They don’t fit. Their lives are equal but opposite disasters and the universe just keeps throwing obstacles in their path. Every time they are together they find it harder to say goodbye, harder to keep their secrets, harder not to lean on each other. But for this relationship to have a fighting chance, the two must stop trying to re-write the past and start figuring out how to build a future… together"]

I love, love, love reading about love. That is what I do best. Reading and writing about people falling in love... Here I will post reviews on books about love, about romance, about LGBTQIA. Sometimes there will be full-length, publish-worthy reviews. Sometimes the posts will be slightly this side of a literary rant. If you have any recommendations for me, please, reach out.
