Before reading this book, I had to prepare myself emotionally. The premise was just a bit heavy for me like "Silent by Sara Alva-heavy" and "The Darker Side Of Trey Grey-heavy." I guess some of you who are familiar with these books could easily relate with my use of the word heavy.This was the story of Danny Gibson whom at sixteen was thrown out by his Dad when he was caught kissing another boy during one New Year's Eve [seriously, I never get how parents could do something like that to their own flesh and blood]. He spent three years of his life as a homeless person. Along the way, he meets Harry Cooper whom he saved from some bullies. With Harry, Danny felt the comfort of acceptance once again as well as the growth of their feelings with each other. When tragedy struck, Danny suddenly finds himself alone yet again. About a year since, he was born again as David Miles and his new persona meets Jack - someone he could see starting life over again. The question is will his secrets comes back to haunt him?I honestly enjoyed reading this book. I wasn't so happy reading about Danny's situation of course but I was glad that he fought for his life. He was brave and older beyond his years. Danny's the character any reader would root for. Whenever his situation got a bit too much for me, I paused. Some books could do that to you right? This one is one of those books - poignant, affecting and incredibly sad. Somehow by its conclusion, I was waiting for something to happen but I tried blinking and saw that it was the last page I was reading. I was a bit puzzled by its rather abrupt ending. Nevertheless, I think I was able to figure out what the author was trying to do here. Danny didn't get a happily ever after ending (not just yet). He and Jack still had a lot to go through; He’s still trying to heal. The more important thing was that he came out victorious in his earlier battles and is now ready to face a better future. Now that is something to feel hopeful about the book. Yes, the sky isn't dead for Danny/David - not anymore.Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Je dois dire que je suis incapable de donner un ressenti sur cette histoire, non pas que je n’ai pas aimé mais elle est tellement étrange que franchement je ne sais pas quoi en penser. Un conte de fée ? Une histoire fantastique ? Honnêtement, il est impossible de croire à la réalité de l’histoire d’amour entre Danny/David et Harry/Jack, je sais que c’est une fiction mais quand même, il me faut un minimum de logique. Ma note ne reflète sûrement pas ce livre,je pense que d'autres lectrices apprécieront mieux.

A few plot holes, but I still loved this.
