A Secret Edge por Robin Reardon
Lots of teenager drama in this book and some bits of internal logic that didn't entirely make sense, but on the whole Jason and his running, friendships and falling for gorgeous but slightly mysterious and utterly infuriating Raj won me over.
This book had its moments but my reaction at the end was largely meh. The growing up to become yourself in college parts were fine, but the addiction storyline discourse felt a bit remote and contrived, and I just couldn't see how it applied to Nathan's relationship with his adored older brother.
Probably more of a 3.5 to me. Can't really put my finger on it, the idea of power animals is super interesting, but I almost feel like they were a bit too on the nose with the descriptions and the scenarios lined up a bit too perfectly and it kinda took me out of the story a bit.
Likewise, Ethan's journey through the story is said to be about balance in his life when it seems incredibly obvious that there are "right" and "wrong" sides to each of the issues he faced, eventually evolving into "transformation" which wasn't as heavily expanded on and it seemed a bit unsatisfying. Overall there were a lot of good characters in this book, even if some weren't likeable, most were multi dimensional and interesting. The only exception being the love interest who I think I was supposed to root for but just HATED through the whole story.
Better than a lot of lgbt YA but not the best thing I've read… (más)

Dustin's family is taking their usual summer holiday when he meets Randy, who reminds him of the extremely closeted boyfriend of the past school year, but is attracted to him nonetheless, leading to a summer of coming out and acceptance in this novella.
