I liked the characters and the story but I did have a hard time with the time jumps. First we're when Adam is leaving. Then we jump to when they met, then to when they came out, back to leaving, to "the event", to the separation, back to their coming out... get the idea. It got very confusing and I would always have to stop and take stock of when Nate was talking about. That was annoying... maybe it's just me though, so I only dropped one star off.

Recommended and enjoy. ...more

表紙に惹かれて読んでみましたが、ちょっと期待するところと違ったかも。もう少し上の年代の話が中心になるかと思ったのですが、メインは中～高時代の話。青すぎる、という印象。いろんなテーマを詰め込もうとしたせいか、随所に物足りなさも感じてしまった。例えば、主人公の彼は、田舎からＮＹへ出ていくのですが、ＮＹでサバイバルって相当なもんでしょ？だけどパーティで騒いでること以外、実際にどんな舞台で活躍できたのか、どんな練習してるの？、そもそもどうして仕事にありつけたのか、といったことがまったく書かれておらず、二人の関係を試すために、簡単なところでＮＹを使った、という感じがしてしまいました。
本の最後には、ディスカッション用の質問がついていたりして、それはそれで面白いのですが、若い読者だけが対象ですね。
