Trying to put this post into words, I actually decided on describing two scenes from the book. We all know that America is going through a trying time right now, with anti-LGBT legislation coming down the pike, and some in government beating the drums of war. It's downright scary.

Thinking about it, right now I would say that I feel more like Rhys and Jason on their honeymoon as they watched the newscaster talk about the bombs going off in Europe. That sinking, helpless feeling that creeps into your soul and leaves you feeling desolate.

But I want to get back to a happy place, like Rhys and Jason at the end of the book when they're laughing and getting drenched in the rainfall from a foreign planet. I desperately want to get back there, and I know I will. It just may take a little time.
