""...Stop looking forward, and look back for a few days. You think you don't deserve anyone's respect. Check out the people that have stood behind you. Had your back...Can you be so awful if those people supported you?""

Right behind you was a great read that was thought-provoking and made me root for Kip/Wade. I do think the subject was handled realistically and written well. There were some parts that made me uncomfortable (check content warnings) but the consequences of the characters actions and the situations they were in I think made it understandable and was a clear warning to the reader. Other than that I'm now looking forward to Gail Giles work. Also so happy this was my 20th book of my 20 book goal this year!
