Narrative During Books And Then I Met Him
Added Paragraph 11/10/11This was such a tender and touching love story. Eli is a boy who has been neglected and left to fend for himself and has lost the ability to trust the world. As a result he lashes out to anyone who tries to get close but when he meets Sebastian he finds it is not so easy to do.
Sebastian has grown up in a world of good friends and family. Intelligent and social he has certain expectations of his life and the last thing he expects is to have his life turned upside down when Eli enters it.
This relationship is unexpected but none the less beautiful. I love the way both young men seem to add something to each other that has been missing. Eli finds a person who deeply cares about him for himself which turns to true love for both of them. Sebastian, on the other hand finds someone who he can care for, but not pity.
I love how the relationship slowly develops (over a week) but at least it's not insta-love!)where they meet and then boom! We're in love on the same day. Both characters are completely developed and are not just caricatures of teenage/young adult boys.
The only part of the story that didn't ring true to me was the abrupt resolution between Eli and his mother. Years of neglect can not be healed through one conversation which have left evident scars on the young boy's psyche. Especially since it is obvious that her treatment is at the root of his deep emotional scars.
Eli's story is so heartbreaking I found myself wanting to cry several times. Yet he also has a resilience and inner goodness that allows him to open up when he finds the one he can truly trust. I am really grateful to have found this lovely story. I think Eli and Sebastian will stay with me for a long time.

Hm, there is so much wrong with this whole storyline, I don't really know how to rate it, correctly. I liked how Sebastian had a deeper urge to help Eli out, so yeah definitely Gay For You theme here. But still to many holes in their short time together. This story didn't feel completed to me, not at all!It was weird and I have a bit of trouble with the fact that Eli is under 18 (isn't that technically not legal?) but other than that, it was really adorable. Sebastian, this child. He's so adorable. I totally agree with Matthew about the "he's all good" judgment, as vague as it is. It just...is.The reconciliation with the mom seemed a little too easy to me, but it did kind of make sense because she was doing all that for Eli's sake-ish.
I loved this story. It was so well written with tons of detail and in-depth characters that you can't help but be drawn to. The books is a bit on the dark side but Sabastion kept it from being too much. He added a lot of wicked humor to the plot. Eli is easly one of my favorite characters. He's so broken to the point that you don't know if he can be fixed or at least fixed enough to be in such a relationship. However it all pulled together and you really believed their relationship. Truely an
3.5 starsI wanted to give this 4 stars but I couldn't. I really liked Sebastian and wanted him to have his HEA, with that being said... I think he made something outta nothing. I seriously think he got involved with a messed up kid and took advantage. Not in a sexual predator kinda way, (because i really thought he was a nice guy) but in a way that a kid who's already messed up is going to be vulnerable to. To make a long story short, I just didn't see the love connection there. And then the
Great story. I got hooked about a quarter of the way through and couldn't stop until I finished. Good GFY story. 4.5
This book was ridiculous, but I have to admit, I totally enjoyed it for what it was. It is not well written, it doesnt even appear to be proof read. But by throwing in prepositions where they should be and ignoring complete misspellings or even wrong words, the piece is still easy enough to read and understand. (Glaring examples: Arthur spells lost as lossed and in one part that she meant to use the word closed she wrote clothes - why Arthur wouldnt just proof read something before posting it on
