I am attracted to Derreck, I don't even know why. But this is so good. I love the way you write because I can't stop reading it. It is so interesting and unpredictable. I'm recommending this because I love it.
This entire story breaks my heart though. I can't imagine what Derreck must be going through, having witnessed the guy he was in love with die right before his eyes in such a brutal way. And I love how gangs are integrated into this. Not that I love gangs or anything, but I do find them interesting.
This is so good and I can't wait to read more :)
First of all, the first chapter is brilliant. It drew me in right away and I immediately wanted to know more about Derreck and the narrator and their background and just everything. It was short but it told so much and was amazingly captivating.
I can't even put into coherent thoughts what I Was feeling for the rest if it though! Like, his history with Jake and what happened...oh my goodness it was so sad! The way that Devon cares about him, I think it's really nice but I feel like with someone like Derreck, blowing up on him like that won't really help. I really like Ace's caring for him though. He seems like a really good friend and I am soooo glad that Derreck swallowed his pride and apologized to him.
Also, I don't like Luke. It's not because he drinks or because he's older I just want Derreck to be safe and okay and I don't trust Luke right now....
But the bottom line is I really like this story and it's really well-written and you can't not get hooked on it and Derreck and I just want to find out if he turns out okay in the end!
