KEEP YOUR SECRETS CLOSE TO HOME It's been one year since Manny was cast out of his family and driven into the wilderness of the American Southwest. Since then, Manny lives by self-taught rules that keep him moving--and keep him alive. Now, he's taking a chance on a traveling situation with the Varela family, whose attractive but surly son, Carlos, seems to promise a new future. Eli abides by the rules of his family, living in a secluded community that raised him to believe his obedience will be rewarded. But an unsettling question slowly eats away at Eli's once unwavering faith in Reconciliation: Why can't he remember his past? But the reported discovery of an unidentified body in the hills of Idyllwild, California, will draw both of these young men into facing their biggest fears and confronting their own identity--and who they are allowed to be. For fans of Courtney Summers and Tiffany D. Jackson, Into the Light is a ripped-from-the-headlines story with Oshiro's signature mix of raw emotions and visceral prose--but with a startling twist you'll have to read to believe.

This book was so riveting & creepy & twisty! Manny lives on the road after being cast out by his family and has his rules to survive and not let anyone close. But when he hears of an unidentified body found in the woods surrounding a small town, he's forced to face his trauma bc he might know who it is. This story is dark & raw & uncomfortable but I didn't want to stop listening.

This was such a beautiful book. I loved Manny. He's such a great character and *everything he went through* 😭 Have you ever watched Under the Same Moon? This reminded me of that movie except way darker and traumatic. Like bro, I can't believe people are capable and willing to do these things (and yet here is 2023 proving me wrong) #gayromance #lgbtq

It's been tough but I'm slowly getting through my Netgalley backlog 🥹🥹 it helps that I haven't requested many new #books 😂😂 next up will be these two audiobooks and then I'll finally sit down with some ebooks

Maybe I can get my score to 45% by the end of June? 🤔 🤔 #netgalley #tbr #tbrpile
