I am not even sure where begin. I know that I have read the first 80 pages of this book and am a huge fan of Chris Crutcher. Y? Easy! I can feel the power, the despiration, the emotional roller coaster that he has written out for his characters. I feel the hurt and the pain that both Sara Byrnes and Angus Bethune have experienced. I love how they cling to love, each other, because they need each other. I do not want to give a character analysis, because it is important that you read this book. I will however leave you with some quotes that made me verbally express myself, and give way to the themes that present themselves in the book thus far.
"Since kindergarten I've been explaing to my very few friends that I have four parents, all gay as court jesters and all living on the same city block.." (18)
"If we're going to be marries, I have to trust you," Sarah says.(19)
"This other fat guy not only went Jenny Craig on me;..." (32)
"Only she isn't a swimmer. She's an aqua jogger. The reason why I believe in God is so I can curse Him." (34)
"I'm telling you, having parents that love you trumps everything, even I know that." (36)
"I've eaten some shit in my life, but compared to what Sarah has tasted, my shit tasted like angel food cake." (41)
"...a 270-pound man-child and a crispy child-woman." (42)
"When you've wondered in the desert all your life, you'd be surprised what one sip of water can do." (49)
"Sarah Byrnes has a face like the moon." (79)
I can't wait to share more!!!!!!!! <3
