The prompt sounded really good. But it wasn't. It was messy and in my opinion Cade deserved more than the story he has now.

Great story!
I couldn't give it 5 stars because the connection between the 2 MCs didn't quite live up to my expectations based on that swoon-worthy picture prompt.

Okay, so you may have noticed that I rate almost every book I read with five stars. In every single one I find something I appreciate and love.
Raising Cade has me in a dilemma though. There are simply not enough stars to rate this the way I would like. Few books touch me as thoroughly. Cade and Alan are characters that will stay with me forever. This rarely happens.
I enjoyed this so much. From the very beginning I was drawn in to Cade's narrative whilst the story unfolded around it without losing any momentum. Cade and Alan are both very compelling and easily liked characters. There is a small cast of secondary characters as well and even though they seem to be skimmed over in this story they have a presence that feels that there is more to them than simply tools to carry the story along. They have depth.
Cade and Alan though, oh my God, they practically lifted off the page to stand in my living room. They are as real to me as any physical person I have met.
Jonathan has created beauty and I do so hope he expands on this story. We need more of the interesting chorus line and definitely more of Cade and Alan.
