There Goes Sunday School #2
Here Goes Nothing
For high school senior Mike Hernandez, everything is finally falling perfectly into place. He’s publishing his first web comic with his new boyfriend, his friends and family are totally supportive, and he’s looking towards a future he never let himself imagine.
Chris Myers is a boy on the mend. After an almost deadly altercation with his father a year ago, he and his mother are finally moving back to Atlanta and back to the boy he left behind. A boy who he can’t seem to forget even if that boy seems to have had no trouble moving on without him.
When they reconnect in school, they can't escape each other's pull, even with Mike’s new boyfriend and a huge tragedy between them. Now Mike has a choice to make, keep his new safe relationship, or return to the boy he lost, the boy he just can’t stop thinking about.
Choosing Chris means facing their dark past, a darkness Mike isn’t sure Chris can handle. Can the boys trust their hearts and give in to their feelings or will ‘here goes nothing’ lead to them losing everything?
A continuation of There Goes Sunday School.

This book doesn't feel totally a sequel, as much as it feels like the author has decided to change de ending for the first one. Which is not a bad thing, it's great, actually, because we already live through enough challenging times. I hadn't like that ending, though it was understandable.
The book is even aware of that. There's a scene when Mike is writing a comic about his story with Chris, and realizes that he doesn't have to take the story to the same sad ending it had. He is
in control and he will write it like he wishes it would have been.
"Why not create a whole new story? Why should I follow the disappointment I knew was coming down the line when I could branch off, make a narrative for these two people that ended with happiness instead of heartbreak."
Here Goes Nothing is a super quick read, and it's the perfect ending to for There Goes Sunday School. It's heart-shattering at times, and it's also sweet and fun when it needs.

As important as I think it is to tell realistic queer experiences, that so often involve hardship and tragic endings. Because we need these kinds of stories to understand why we still need to keep fighting.
I also believe is equally important to have stories with happy endings, especially for the queer youth today.
Growing up hiding and fearing so much can have an enormous toll on your self esteem and sense of worth. Seeing characters like Mike and Chris that find happiness despite the hateful context that sorrounded them and the traumatic experiences they went through, is terapeutic. It gives hope that despite all the bad things going on in your life or the bad thoughts in your head you can still find hapiness. You can still find someone who will love you and understand what you are going through. And lastly, that you are worthy of love.
Thank you Alexander for giving Mike and Chris the happy ending they deserve!

I don't usually write reviews but this is part review and part thank you note.
There Goes Sunday School means so much to me. It explains the world I grew up in and it made me feel seen and heard in a truly profound way. Seeing my thoughts written on a page made me feel less alone.
And then Here Goes Nothing did it all over again. I got to watch my changing relationship with God and religion play out on the page all over again and relive my own exploration of self expression.
There Goes Sunday School was an explanation and exploration of religious trauma and first love but it was missing everything that comes after from finding yourself outside of the church to learning communication in relationships.
It is a totality of realism you don't often see. Funny how 200 pages could enrich the story that much.

I cannot stress enough how important this book is for me. I read this book during the time I was suffering from pneumonia and tuberculosis — which I still didn’t know at that time because my doctors can’t identify what was wrong with me back then. I was in a state of confusion and pain at that time, and this help me get through with all the confusion inside me. I knew that I already accepted me for me, but I still can’t wrapped myself up in the idea that I’m really attracted to boys too because of my ever present religion. My country is composed of 95% catholics so it’s really difficult to stray from the social construct. Deviant that as I am, I find hope in ‘There Goes Sunday School’ at that time. Although the ending really broke my heart (and I still read it multiple times since then), I was really hoping for a sequel.
And this is it. This is one of the best sequel that I’ve ever read.
I cannot tell you all how much I cried, how much yearning that I have for Chris and Mike to finally get together and get happy. Heck, I’m even crying right now as I typed this. Chris and Mike deserve all the happiness in this world after the tremendous trauma, suffering, anguish, and pain that they got through alone and together. In this book, we will see them heal and find each other again. Which my heart really longs for. I actually thought this would be more painful than the first book, but I got it wrong! It’s actually almost a light story! It’s so good and I love it. And the fact that Jackie and Tanner is more supportive than ever towards Mike? It really is everything. They are the best friends that we all hope to find and cherish. Sammy and Taye are also one heck of a character. They represent the vulnerability in our community, they represent US. They showed that after all the things we have gone through in life, we still find a way to show kindness, generosity, and happiness to ourselves and to other people who badly needs it. Taye is one of my favorite characters to be honest. He’s really wise, caring, and honest and I just really hope I have him in my life.
I really don’t have any problem at this sequel, except for the fact that Davy is not with Mike? I thought they were hitting it off at the end of the first book but I guess they didn’t. And also, I feel like Mike were forced to wear women’s cloth in this book just so he can prove to himself that he’s gay and he’s proud of it; which isn’t a problem as long as he’s comfortable but I feel like he’s just forcing it to himself. Furthermore, I think we could all agree that Chris’ mom and Jess should have a side story book, because I actually want to know their history. We just know that Vivian (Chris’ mom) and Jess might possibly had had a history during their high school years.
This book is delightfully a quick read. It gives you happiness, melancholy, anger, anxiety, and most especially, healing. Alexander Eberhart proves himself again as one of the best YA LGBTQIA+ author with this sequel and I really can’t wait for him to release his upcoming books.
And this is it. This is one of the best sequel that I’ve ever read.

y'know, this felt more like an extended epilogue than a fully-fleshed standalone story to me? to be honest, i actually didn't mind the ending of the first book; it felt realistic to me. that said, i am glad these two got their happy ending together.
overall, this was cute and a very quick read, so i'm glad i read it.

Aaaah happy to see these guys again!! One of my notes from the first book was that I wasn't thrilled with where it ended, even though I loved the book. :) So I'm happy to have had that complaint addressed! LOL.
Chris's mom's name is Vanessa in the first book but Vivian in this one, which is a pretty huge continuity issue... I also found some of the stuff with Elliot just... incredibly awkward. :| But hey, high school is awkward!!
And overall, I liked the loose ends that were tied up, I liked Taye and Sammy and the coffee shop/drag club :) I liked the boys finding themselves and each other. Very happy to leave them in a better place than at the end of the first book!
Happy (and quick) read!

It was even better than the first book. I loved everything about it. I love the dynamics between Mike Chris and Elliott (I'm so happy there's no big drama)
It was really the perfect sequel!!
I wouldn't mind another book in the series 😂

"The thought sticks in my brain like a thistle, burying itself deep in the membrane." I'm taking this line out of context, but it is 100% what this series has done to me and my brain.
Overall, I think the first book was a stronger work of fiction, but that said, I thoroughly enjoyed how this one wrapped everything up, despite maybe not loving how we got there. Both books are a lovely exploration of the complicated intersections of faith, queerness, and learning to love yourself, though I do think the two books together do more to that end than either do on their own.
Bottom line, after two years of being unenthusiastic about reading, enjoying these books as much as I did has reignited my enjoyment and I'm grateful for that.

old post reposted
"Here Goes Nothing", the sequel to "There Goes Sunday School" by Alexander C Eberhart was just as heart-wrenching, heart-breaking, heart-stopping as the original.
["For high school senior Mike Hernandez, everything is finally falling perfectly into place. He’s publishing his first web comic with his new boyfriend, his friends and family are totally supportive, and he’s looking towards a future he never let himself imagine.
Chris Myers is a boy on the mend. After an almost deadly altercation with his father a year ago, he and his mother are finally moving back to Atlanta and back to the boy he left behind. A boy who he can’t seem to forget even if that boy seems to have had no trouble moving on without him.
When they reconnect in school, they can't escape each other's pull, even with Mike’s new boyfriend and a huge tragedy between them. Now Mike has a choice to make, keep his new safe relationship, or return to the boy he lost, the boy he just can’t stop thinking about.
Choosing Chris means facing their dark past, a darkness Mike isn’t sure Chris can handle. Can the boys trust their hearts and give in to their feelings or will ‘here goes nothing’ lead to them losing everything?"]
To Catch You Up (because I know I needed it--aka SPOILERS from the first novel): Chris and Mike broke up at the end of the novel since they didn't want to do a long-distance thing, and because Chris's father tried to kill him thing (I can't remember all of the details, but like homophobic bigot with anger issues disguised as a community leader, need I say more).
I sobbed. Again. Who's shocked? Not me. Forgot how deep and dark Alexander can get. Wow. Totally worth it though. Just saying.
Most of the same trigger warnings for the first novel apply to this one as well: homophobia, internalized homophobia, graphic language, suicide, extreme bigotry, violence, misuse of queer words/phrases, and probably a lot more.
Now I'm off to try to find something to read that won't send me into a depressive downward spiral.

Thank you, me of a few days ago, for not checking then that this sequel exists, because I never would have picked up the first book knowing a sequel wasn't available on audible. And then I would have completely missed this gem that became one of my favorite books I've read this year - if not THE favorite. Got myself Here Goes Nothing on ebook as soon as I found out it exists, and I don't even like reading ebooks! So, gg, Eberhart!
I'm not going to act like I'm anything other than a straight white girl from one of the least religious parts of the world, but I can't deny the writing in these two books just felt.. raw. Natural, in all its awkwardness. Possibly the smuttiest YA I've ever read, though, which I generally don't care for, but I found myself appreciating here because it didn't feel like it was written for the reader - it felt like it was written for the characters.
The ending of the first book caught me a little off guard, but this was the perfect sequel to wrap everything up. There was the occasional grammatical error, but nothing enough to pull a star off my rating.
I felt feels, and now I'm sad to say goodbye to the characters.

Well written, well proofed, well worth the read!
Here Goes Nothing is the second half of the There Goes Sunday School story, and neither is really stand-alone. The story centers on Mike and Chris, very likable, normal teens, as they struggle to be themselves and find acceptance and love against the backdrop of an intolerant and hateful church. At one point, Mike says Chris was the first person to give him hope that he could be happy and loved. Mike is fortunate in that he has loving and accepting parents and friends. Chris's father, however, is a church pastor, is filled abhorence for gays and, of course, his son. He tries to erase him. Without spoiling anything, the story of Mike and Chris is one of religious intolerance and hatred and their road to happiness and love together. I found it moving and, in the end, filled with the hope, happiness, and love they seek. I recommend Mr Eberhardt's books - well worth the read!

Another nice small town coming-of-age romance infused with Southern charm. It's been three years since I was first introduced to Mike, Chris, Jackie and Tanner ... and this read felt like a catching with old friends (recalled enough salient plot points to not need a re-read refresher). Newcomers Ell, Taye and Sammy were welcome additions in a story that picks up several months post a not-so-happy ending in There Goes Sunday School. Parental figures featured in that book are largely 'in the background' here except when the author mysteriously brings them 'front of stage' for a

I’ve learned as I’ve worked my way through Alexander Eberhart’s books, starting with “Theoretically Straight”, that I’m definitely a fan of the way he tells a story. The backdrop of a queer boy growing up in a southern religious bubble hits home for me in ways I sometimes wish it didn’t. But these are stories that happen every day and they are exactly what young queer readers need to see.
When I found out there was a sequel to “There Goes Sunday School”, I couldn’t wait to pick up “Here Goes Nothing”. Before I even got started I admit, I was a little disappointed when I saw it was only 200 pages, but those 200 pages of Mike and Chris are so well crafted, they tell exactly the story they need to. Even though I wished for 150 more, I finished the book smiling with a tear in my eye. For a story that feels like it was written for sixteen-year-old me, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better ending.

Chris and Mike are precious.
I loved the continuation of their story - there is jeopardy, with Mike already being with someone else, but not too much jeopardy that I didn’t know what was going to happen. Often in second chance love stories where one is taken, the new boyfriend ends up getting hurt and it can take the shine of the romance, but I loved how this was resolved. Elliot totally understood the connection between Chris and Mike and didn’t want the stand in the way of that.
The introduction of Sammy and Taye was great, as two supportive characters and some chosen family for Chris, and of Elliot, as a queer role model for Mike, coincided with both of them experiencing some growth. It was cute to see Mike trying new outfits and finding something that felt more him.
I loved the first book, and I loved the sequel just as much. Just beautiful.

This was a solid sequel to There Goes Sunday School, pleasant to read and "real".
But honesty compels me to say the first book left a bigger impression. To tell you why I'd have to reread that one because it has been too long. That is probably also the reason this book didn't reach the same level of impact. I did have the feeling I missed some details, forgotten some aspects that made the reasoning behind some actions more important than the (re)action itself.
Ugh I feel a reread coming...

Mike has moved on after Chris left town following the crash and he rarely thinks about him anymore, especially since Elliot became his boyfriend. Except the cartoon he's been drawing has a very familiar character that he's not willing to explain to Elliot who's helping draw the story and that character shows up in one of his classes out of the blue and things get awkward. Now what? Should Mike ignore his past hoping for an unknown potential or have they changed too much to look back?

here goes nothing is everything
I finished the first book There Goes Sunday School the day before yesterday and quickly dove into this book already completely smitten with Chris and Mike and I’m happy to say this second volume was so wondrous and beautiful and touching and [insert superlative of your choice here]. I’m just sad I don’t have a third novel in the series to dive into. Fortunately I’ve still got Lock & West and Ghosting You to still reading before the craving for his next novel hits me. If you haven’t read him, you definitely should!!!!

Returning Home
I’m happy to get another round with Chris and Mike. Both deserve a chance at happiness together. This time it’s not distance keeping them apart. Alex crafted two likable boys with a teenage destiny to find love. Oh, and some great supporting characters as well. 3.25 for graphic novels.

A nice quick read with a satisfying end to Mike and Chris's story. A bit more fairy tale than the first one, but I liked it. I liked the mostly drama-free plot and the easy-going characters. (But the typos... a few misspellings, a couple misplaced words, a bunch of random commas)

I'm glad the characters got their happy ending, but Eberhart really can't help shoving trauma into everything. When it's handled well, I can accept trauma and violence and misery and pain, but it's just not handled well here and it ruins the hea.
