This was such a great book. I felt so much of what the characters were feeling. I found myself smiling, laughing, crying and feeling actual anxiety like I was living their situation. I know, it's pathetic to be that involded with fictional characters. But, that's the thing. Nate, Adam, Luke, Danial and Juliet are so well written, that I was able to feel like I was there with them. I can name on one hand the books that have made me feel this close to the characters.

Don't Let Me Go is appropriate for YA. It is clean, the sex is handled delicately and I believe young people who are struggling with or coming to terms with their homosexuality will easily identify with these characters. That said, I am a 47 year old woman and I identified with them. Anyone who is or has ever been a teenager (and who hasn't?) will feel things and remember their own high school experience.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Not just for lovers of M/M romance, although it is at heart, a gay romance. It is also a story about friendship, being a parent, being a child and all the mistakes we all make in life and redemption for some of those mistakes.

I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this book. However I am always open to reading something different. Even if it stretches my normal boundaries. I like to think I am open minded when it comes to reading and therefore will try read anything. Am I ever glad that I do read just about anything and have an open mind when selecting books to read.

I absolutely loved this book. At times the book is romantic, sweet, angering, and melancholy. It's about being a teenager, being in love, and being yourself. Finding out who your are and being brave enough to live life how you are no matter what obstacles are placed in front of you.

Are there some things that Nate did that I did not agree with. Most definitely. I was glad with the ending. Nate and Adam's love for one another is truly a beautiful thing to read about. Yes they had difficulties and I got angry wanting to throw my book across the room at times. However in the end it was the loved that Adam and Nate felt not just for one another but for their friends that kept me reading and I was so happy I did.

Nate and Adam must overcome distance, jealousy, doubt, and indiscretions in order to truly be together. Really this is what most relationships end up enduring at point or another. Thus allowing readers of any orientation to relate. I can't truly give you a review because I don't think I can do so without gushing about the book and giving away too many details. I loved all of the characters. Nate, Adam, Luke, Danial, and Juliet. They were all so real and relatable. None of them were prefect. They all had their flaws which made the book just that much more interesting to read.

I have had this book for a couple of months and never read it. I am so glad I finally picked it and a little disappointed in myself for not doing so sooner. I recommend you not only put this on your to be read list but that you actually read it and not let it sit collecting dust. Read this book!!! I think it's fantastic
