rock

The writing in this book is simply phenomenal. It's hard to believe I DNF and 1 starred one of Sunday's earlier works for being so poorly written (I still stand by that opinion). It just goes to show how far this author has come and how much she has improved her skill. I feel like anything I say in this review will be inadequate, as I just don't have the words to do it justice.

Sunday covered over a decade of time in rock without falling into the trap of telling rather than showing. I got little glimpses into the lives of these boys over the years that, taken together, gave me a full and beautiful picture of the gradual development of their relationship. I loved that while none of the book was written from Jace's perspective, his feelings for Cooper were still evident in the little things:

I poke at the pasta Jace served me, preparing to pull out all the capsicums before I dig any more into it.I frown at Jace twirling his pasta on his fork.You took out the capsicum for me, didn't you?

Reading their story was such an emotional experience for me, which is quite rare. It's been a while since I've had tears streaming down my face as I read.

There were a few times that I found myself thinking the dialogue or actions were a little unrealistic, but at the same time, I could easily imagine seeing those same things in a well-done indie film with gorgeous scenery and lovely music in the background. Speaking of which, this book really needs to be made into an indie film. Maybe someone with the right connections can make that happen.



Thank you, Ms. Sunday, for the incredible reading experience.
