A review by loulou87
Pictures of You by Leta Blake
5.0
I read this series years ago, back when my GR account was just for scouring recs.
I have decided to write a review for these two books in the series which is really hard because they are such intense books. They are undoubtedly Leta's best work to date.
#OldButGold
****SPOILER FREE REVIEW****
*****HIGHLY RECOMMENDED COMING OF AGE*****
For Fans of... #Bisexuals #ComingOfAge #SuperSteamy #Closeted
Before getting these books beware.... the series is not done. these are 2 books out of 4. The rest of the books have NO ETA!
Why read these books....
1. The Writing:
Phenomenal, Stellar, Engaging, Poignant, Real, Enchanting, Epic, Engrossing, Outstanding ... and I could go on and on. #OneOfAkind
2. The Characters:
Peter Mendel: 18 years old, high-school senior, gay and geeky with a passion for photography. he was bullied and out down for being gay. He is a phenomenal character. #WallFlower
Adam Algedi: Transfer Student, tall, gorgeous and an aspiring writer, He is bisexual and physically abused by his father for being attracted to boys. #HideInPlainSight
Daniel: College student and an amazing, admirable, real character . He and Peter are attracted to each other from the get go, but DO NOT pursue a relationship. #JustFriends
3. The Plot:
Revolves around Peter finding himself and building his out, proud, honest truthful life. it is also about his and Adam's relationship. A relationship built around lies, deception, selfishness, guilt and cheating, SO MUCH CHEATING! heartache and so much more. This book will make you rage, cry, curse and rage some more. #BraceYourselves
4. The Romance:
The books are not classified as a romance, but they have romantic elements. The boys do love each other, however differently. keep in mind that the three boys ARE NOT IN A LOVE TRIANGLE. #InMyOwnWay
5. The Heat:
These books were super steamy. the boys are teenagers... true.... but they have a healthy sexual drive and their sex is fueled by many feelings. #BurnUpThePages
6. The Ending...
After book 2, it is a Tentative HFN. #MoreToComeMoreToCome
Note: AIDS is very present in the books in relation to the setting of the book, though the MCs are negative.
