Though what really stands out for me is the witty and compelling writing and of course the likable MCs. What was there just couldn't satisfy my needy and greedy little heart. Not nearly enough page time for Derek and Nick as a couple. Meaning, I would have preferred to spend much more time in the here and now, seeing Derek and Nick's relationship evolve. In this case, however, I must say that less is sometimes more. When it's done right I don't mind the back and forth and I like to see characters grow up from childhood to adulthood. The story is told from Derek's POV and alternates between past and present. One day he takes off for good and leaves Derek with all his memories behind.
He's dyslexic and growing up is a struggle. A ripped rebel with blond hair and piercing blue eyes. Quick-tempered, angry and a tad dangerous.
There's a dreamlike quality about his mind and he's often absent-minded and lives in his own little purple world. The main protagonists Derek and Nick differ greatly in their characterizations and that's exactly what I found so interesting about them. 4 refreshing stars.****Review completed November 3, 2013
