Jayden is a 16-year-old student who is bullied for being gay . One day, he stumbles across violin playing, private schoolboy, Darren. Darren is witty, caustic, has the messiest hair Jayden's ever seen....and he's immediately drawn to him. Once these two boys get together, Jayden realizes there's more to Darren than he initially guessed. Depression lurks at the edges of Darren's life and sometimes takes over to the point that he shuts down. At such a young age, Jayden finds the weight of his boyfriend's depression overwhelming and out of control. But when you love someone, you stay with them and you just keep trying to figure out the best course of action. Music plays a huge role in this story. Metzger does a wonderful job of illustrating the commitment it takes to be a musician and the way emotions can be all tangled up in our art. Many important issues are covered in this book: bullying, homophobia, self-harm, depression, coming out, parental pressure. And tangled up with all those issues... is a first love that will make your heartache. Zeige 2 von 2 Gehört zur ReiheAuszeichnungen
Out-and-regretting-it comprehensive attendee Jayden Phillips turns his cast-iron plans for life upside-down by falling in love with private-school violinist Darren Peace, a sardonic boy with the craziest hair Jayden's ever seen. But all is not what it seems, and Jayden's bullying problem becomes meaningless when he is confronted with what the music does to Darren. How do you stop a dangerous depression rooted in the same thing that makes someone what they are? Dark moods, blank apathy, and the undertow of self-loathing all simmer beneath Darren's dry and beautiful veneer, and Jayden feels powerless to stop them. Then a mugging gone wrong takes the music forcibly away, and Jayden is finally given the chance to change Darren's life -- and, quite literally, his mind. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
