when everything is blue by laura lascarso

Sometimes YA can be an intense and challenging read. It's the kind of authenticity I seek in my YA reads and Laura Lascarso has a knack for it. The characters talk, think and act like a 16-year-old. This is one of the most genuine YA's voice I have ever read. More of their story please.maybe a few years down the line? I started reading this and couldn't put it down and,really,what's better than a book you are so totally captivated by that you want to race to the finish line but at the same time don't want it to end?Įnding with a strong HFN ( because they're only young ),but I can totally envisage a HEA. The supporting characters were well crafted although not always likable and I loved how the Author didn't go down the easy route with Theo's father and wrap things up with a nice big bow on things.She kept it real,believable.

Theo is quite a loner.His only real friend is Chris but as a reader this was perfectly ok and he has a beautiful relationship with his mother and as someone who has a son I found this relationship so,so special.I adored his mother.Theo definitely isn't confused about his sexuality,or confused about his feelings for Chris but he's young,so when another boy shows interest he can't quite resist.a decision that will have far reaching consequences.Īlthough you don't get Chris's pov(which I definitely wanted),you still get an understanding of his feelings towards Theo and I think,it's a good Author who can convey that.

This Author perfectly portrayed these boys feelings.Told only from Theo's pov this is such a touching story.because they are truly best friends,before anything sexual happens and their friendship is what made this story so special. Young love, with all the raging hormones,uncertainties,and questions it evokes. Theo has been in lust/in love.maybe for years but doesn't want to tell Chris how he feels in case their friendship suffers. Theo and Chris have been best friends for years.16 years old but,at times,showing so much maturity that their age didn't really matter. I'm not a massive fan of YA stories but when they're done well there is NOTHING better.This is so well written,conveying such strong emotions with two MCs that absolutely stole my heart. One of the BEST friends to lovers stories I've read.
