Lock & West
Lock & West | Alexander C Eberhart
5 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
NOTE TO SELF: JUST DON'T BE WEIRD Lock is awkward. He can't make eye contact, counts when he's nervous and has to remind himself several times a day how 'normal' teens behave. Homeschooled most of his life, he's resigned himself to a friendless existence at his new Atlanta high school. Until he meets West. LIST OF REASONS WHY MY LIST IF A MESS: HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU HAVE? West has everything. Looks. Talent. Money. And secrets... so many secrets. Beneath the surface of West's perfect existence is a pain he's buried so deep a million therapists couldn't unearth it and he's determined to keep it that way. He's an actor. He can act normal. But then there's Lock. SOMETIMES TWO WRONGS CAN BE RIGHT They don't fit. Their lives are equal but opposite disasters and the universe just keeps throwing obstacles in their path. Every time they are together they find it harder to say goodbye, harder to keep their secrets, harder not to lean on each other. But for this relationship to have a fighting chance, the two must stop trying to re-write the past and start figuring out how to build a future...together. Warning: This book deals with content which some readers may find disturbing such as eating disorders, past sexual abuse and post traumatic stress disorder.

*TW for sexual assault, eating disorders, & self harm*

Whew, this was a lot darker than I was expecting, but also utterly engrossing. The author does a great job of capturing complex familial relationships & friendships. Sometimes the mental processes the characters went through was a little too much for me, but that‘s also what made them feel authentic. Plus, there was just enough witty humor to balance some of the extreme darkness. ★★★½.

Super excited for these.

I think Lock & West is a free Kindle unlimited for those with that. (FYI)

That‘s my heart, shredded into a million pieces. This was a thing of beauty. Boys in love, yes. Boys being stupid, yes. But also the weight of secrets, of family, the things we keep from those we love. And the fact that secrets may shape us but aren‘t all that we are. That there are a million ways to be broken and just as many ways to be whole. Hard core must read for everyone. #24b4Monday #queerbooks @TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65
