"Ethan Domani had planned the perfect graduation trip before tragedy put his life on hold. Smothered by survivor's guilt and his close-knit family, he makes a break for the open road. He doesn't know what he's looking for, but he's got the whole summer to figure out who he misses more: his boyfriend, or the person he thought he was. It's just him and his memories . . . until he almost runs over a hitchhiker. Nick Hamilton made some mistakes after his younger brother died. His violent ex-boyfriend was the most dangerous, and the one that got him shipped off to Camp Cornerstone's pray-the-gay-away boot camp. His eighteenth birthday brings escape, and a close call with an idiot in a station wagon. Stranger danger aside, Nick's homeless, broke, and alone. A ride with Ethan is the best option he's got. The creepy corners of roadside America have nothing on the darkness haunting Ethan and Nick. Every interstate brings them closer to uncharted emotional territory. When Nick's past shows up in their rearview mirror, the detour might take them off the map altogether"--Back cover.… (mer)

Different wounds, different healing speeds, different solutions, great story.

I have a quibble or two about this novel, but enjoyed it so much that even the one serious quibble seems unimportant in the afterglow from that Epilogue.

Ethan the blond soft jock still mourning his boyfriend, meets deeply wounded Nick in a startling way, and that theme continues through the book - they can't help but affect each other, more and more deeply. I absolutely love the way they skirt subjects too deep for the bit of time they've known each other. The grieving hurts, the nasty abusive ex hurts, and the help the boys can offer each other is all the sweeter in the face of those hurts. It ends exactly perfectly for a YA. Perfectly.

The one serious quibble? Nick early on is as able as Ethan is with the snappy comebacks, after that long in the terrible institution the horrible ex/stupid parents landed him in? That felt too...easy, just for some fun joking lines. It's the only part of the story that hit me wrong, though. ( )
