The Beach House by Shawn Lane

4.0

This was a pretty good book. I really enjoyed watching Mason realize that all could be well in his world. It was heartbreaking to see such a young, troubled kid and to know that it is realistic in the real world sucks. I still have some trepidation over the character of John. You can see he really cares about Mason but it seemed weird in the beginning and I felt like perhaps his feelings could have been better explored to give me an understanding of where he was coming from. It seemed like "yeah, Mason is hot" but didn't really show me how he progressed to feeling more for him. We see them together but not really inside John's head. That said, however, that did not ruin this book for me. I really enjoyed it and loved the relationship between them.
