Abstract
You’re still alive in alternate universes, Theo, but I live in the real world where this morning you’re having an open casket funeral. I know you’re out there, listening. And you should know I’m really pissed because you swore you would never die and yet here we are. It hurts even more because this isn’t the first promise you’ve broken.
OCD-afflicted seventeen-year-old, Griffin, has just lost his first love – his best friend, ex-boyfriend and the boy he believed to be his ultimate life partner – in a drowning accident. In a desperate attempt to hold onto every last piece of the past, a broken Griffin forges a friendship with Theo’s new college boyfriend, Jackson. And Griffin will stop at nothing to learn every detail of Theo’s new college life, and ultimate death. But as the grieving pair grows closer, readers will question Griffin's own version of the truth – both in terms of what he’s willing to hide, and what true love ultimately means...

Spoiler free.
Having just experienced this book, I thought it might be too soon to write a review, then I thought that it was better to write while the emotions roused by the story were still restlessly stirring in my thoughts.
Nothing but empathy.
These characters are so real that we feel their angst, we feel their pain, we feel the hole left in their hearts and we cry with them from the first page to the last as they struggle to make sense of a tragic situation that maybe has no sense.
This book gives us a glimpse into alternate universes, where we are or have been Theo, Griffin, Wade and Jackson and their lives are imprinted on ours forever.
Simply put, If you like emotions, then read this book.
