Carson Smith is resigned to spending his summer in Billings, Montana, helping his mom take care of his father, a dying alcoholic he doesn't really know. Then he meets Aisha Stinson, a beautiful girl who has run away from her difficult family, and Pastor John Logan, who's long held a secret regarding Carson's grandfather, who disappeared without warning or explanation thirty years before.

Crit Of Books The Porcupine of Truth

Wow, so Carson pretty much annoyed me through 2/3 of the book regarding the way his love interest at aisha interacted with their friendship... BUT BUT BUT, I have say that It payed off! since I was so invested in the plot from the first to the final page, and BOY, I was really surprised by the revelations within the "misteries", and happy overall. I didn't think I would end up classifying this one as "queer litetature", but I did, it really made my gay heart feel embraced as queer topics +

Talk about epic road trip this story is one hell of a road trip where secrets will be revealed and secrets will be made new.Carson Smith is going to spend his summer helping his mother take care of his alcoholic father. As his father is dying Carson is determined to find out who his grandfather is. He has disappeared into thin air and Carson wants to surprise his father with finding his grandfather.One day Carson is brought to a zoo by his mother and it is there that he meets Aisha Stinson. This

There were things that I liked about this book and things that drove me crazy.

I loved my last read from this author, Openly Straight. This book took longer to hook me in, but I did enjoy it, and there were some nicely emotional moments, especially towards the end.The narrator, Carson, has come with his mother to Billings, Montana, to spend the summer caring for the father he hasn't seen since he was three. His father is dying of the complications of alcoholism, and one of the things that the dad harks back to when he becomes emotional is the loss of his own father, who

Not a terrible book, but not a great one either. I figured out the end long before the protagonists did. I found the narrator a little irritating but overall it was a unique take on the father-son and road trip tropes. The last few chapters were genuinely moving, but it didn't quite feel earned--what were mediocre characters on a somewhat interesting plot line co-opted a depth of emotion and pain from a group of people otherwise absent from the book.

The title of this book should've been Procupine of Preaching. Cause that's what this book actually is - a preaching of how good religion can be.Fine, I get it, there is a big issue out there for LGBT+ people who are also religious or come from religious household. But do we really have to treat them like idiots with the emotional range of a 10 year old? As an atheist, I was very happy during the first few pages when Carson plain out said he doesn't believe in God. How many character like that

My first thought about this one is HOW ON EARTH DID SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE IT? My second thought is FUCK CARSON. My third thought is that I want trigger warnings for shitty straight boy characters. What in the actual fuck is this book? It is most definitely the biggest book disappointment I've ever experienced. Earlier this year I read a different book by Bill Konigsberg, The Music of What Happens, and I love it. I have listened to that book three times this year already and it is perhaps one of
