Rebecca Yip’s Reviews > Beyond the Summer > Status Update

Telling his father off made Sutton internet famous! All the comments of support were overwhelming, but Sutton finally felt like he belonged. Both on and off the internet he had people who genuinely cared about him. I’m so happy for Ben and Sutton. The summer and months after both changed them and helped them grow for the better.

YESSSS OMGGGG!!!! Sutton is free to finally be HIMSELF!!! He stood up to his father and wasn’t alone, but instead had an army of people behind him. His chosen family has shown him he matters and that he’s not alone.

OMG!!! Sutton’s dad is a famous asshole!!!! No wonder Sutton’s so scared of being out and terrified of what his father will do! And the war going on in both Sutton and Ben’s minds is heart wrenching but I hope they get their happy ending.

They’ve both totally fallen for each other…but how long will it be before Sutton sabotages things and runs for the hills. I want him to be happy. I want them both to be happy. But Sutton still has so much trauma to work through when it comes to his dad.

THEY’VE KISSED!!! Ben is slowly showing Sutton that he could have so much more. Ok, but hold up, cause on top of that, I’m LOVING Ben’s sass and attitude!!! Like okkkkk! I can’t wait to see where things go with the two of them. What will they both be like at the end of the book…?

Omggg!! Sutton’s heart to heart with Sam and the other one with Ben was EVERYTHING!!! I loved them!!! It showed some growth for Sutton and Sutton and Ben were able to get closer which was very nice to see!!

Damn. Sutton’s dad seems like a real ass. Sutton hides how broken and unhappy he is with cockiness and arrogance. The pressure from his dad to marry a woman is crushing, but the text about ruining Parker’s like was insane.

Ok, so Sutton as it turns out, is pretty good with the kids, and isn’t a complete asshole. When not dealing with the kids, he’s cocky, arrogant, and can be a bit of an asshole. But there’s definitely more to him than meets the eye. And boy oh boy is Ben attracted to Sutton and trying so hard to not crumble.

It sounds like we may get more of Matt in this book. But I’m going to enjoy getting to know Ben more and seeing things through his anti-social, introverted personality.
