REVIEW:
Well the blurb gives a good description. It is a short story that gives some hope in a time of despair. Life so often times just tears us down to the point of no return. Whether from the family we are born into, the crap we deal with growing up and in school, into our adult lives, where things like love are heartbreaking because you never feel good enough or people make you feel that way. It’s even harder when someone actually does care for you but you can’t give that back.
That’s what Peter was going through. And he finally hit his breaking point. He had to run and get away. Get some perspective. Of course, Arnold showing up didn’t help at first but in the end it did. Because Arnold gave Peter one thing he needed regardless of everything. Acceptance and in his weird way, love. He showed Peter it’s ok to grieve, to feel, to hurt, to hate, but also to start over and try again. To move on and start a new journey.
It’s actually a really sweet book between the two of them. It’s angsty in it’s moments. There are moments when Peter is speaking of some abuse by his father, but overall, it’s about the journey and seeing you are better than what life would have you believe.
