HOME SWEET HOME

by Stephen R. Moore

What does any seventeen-year-old do when his mother tells him she only has two months to live-and his dad is to blame? In Caden Cahill's case, he will do anything to stay away from his abusive father. But after his mother's death, Caden travels a self-destructive path littered with sex and drugs, becoming lost in this seedy world and using his older boyfriend to gain access to the local nightclub. Logan Fox leads a much happier life at home with his loving mother. Trying to find his path, he temporarily works as a nightclub stripper. During a performance, he locks eyes with a beautiful stranger who may possibly be his soul mate-Caden. The two instantly click, and together, they decide to turn their lives around. But past decisions haunt them, threatening their future. With each other's love and support, they realize that sometimes the most difficult path may be the one that eventually leads home.

[Stephen · Rating 2 out of 5]

While initially interesting, I find that I'm having trouble "sticking with" this story. The characters have become too predictable and the story too far-fetched.

As the story continued it just got more mundane.
