Description
It's a year after 9/11. Sniper shootings throughout the D.C. area have everyone on edge and trying to make sense of these random acts of violence. Meanwhile, Craig and Lio are just trying to make sense of their lives.
Craig’s crushing on quiet, distant Lio, and preoccupied with what it meant when Lio kissed him...and if he’ll do it again...and if kissing Lio will help him finally get over his ex-boyfriend, Cody.
Lio feels most alive when he's with Craig. He forgets about his broken family, his dead brother, and the messed up world. But being with Craig means being vulnerable...and Lio will have to decide whether love is worth the risk.
This intense, romantic novel from the author of Break and Invincible Summer is a poignant look at what it is to feel needed, connected, and alive.

[Actual rating: 2.5*] Ya know ... this book was better than I thought it would be. Twenty pages into this book I would've never thought that I'd finish it. I didn't particularly like the writing style and the whole situation with Craig and the 14 animals made me more than uncomfortable. I was about to quit <Gone, Gone, Gone . But than, Lio appeared. And hell, I love Lio. I can't really explain why. It's just things like Lio meows for a minute that made me love him. After the first 50 pages or so the novel was pretty decent but nothing extraordinary. Furthermore I thought that 9/11 would have an bigger impact on the story and was kinda disappointed when that wasn't the case.
