Not quite sure about this book. I liked it. I liked Tommy and Matt but I didn't care much about any of the other characters. I like acrobatics and circus shows and so I liked the settings chosen for this book but sometimes exactly the acrobatic scenes were bit too detailled for my taste. And what to say about the love story? I felt so sorry for Matt and Tommy ... it must be tough beyond words to be gay in times of this book. Either you came out and chose a life in a totally gay world, hated by the heterosexuals or you didn't tell anybody like they decided to do. They didn't even find the power to tell their family and even if they would have, they couldn't have accepted their way of living. It must have been a nightmare. Their despair about their situation was something I could connect to, I guess that and their LOVE for each other was it that made this book a good book for me. But there's still something missing for me and I can't even say exactly what it is. Just a feeling I guess. The book didn't catch me completly ...
