Don't Let Me Go
From Publisher's Weekly: "Nate and Adam are smalltown adolescents whose relationship is threatened when Adam moves to New York. Nate recalls the first moments of their romance and its development even as it's threatened by the arrival of Luke, a closeted younger teen who's attracted to Nate. Told frankly and honestly from Nate's point of view, the novel explores issues like coming out, parental acceptance (and it lack), antigay violence, and the attitudes of faculty and fellow students, whose ranks provide both antagonists and allies. Layered with the gritty everyday details of teen existence, the book provides a convincingly clear window into the many perils and sometimes scant pleasures of life in high school while never feeling overly grim; it will be appreicated by adults and teens alike."
