Publisher's Summary:

I cant describe what its like to want to scream every minute of every day.

Two years after a terrifying night of pain destroyed his normal teenage existence, Aaron Downing still clings to the hope that one day, he will be a fully functional human being. But his life remains a constant string of nightmares, flashbacks, and fear. When, in his very first semester of college, hes assigned Spencer Thomas as a partner for his programming project, Aaron decides that maybe normal is overrated. If he could just learn to control his fear, that could be enough for him to find his footing again.

With his parents talk of institutionalizing him - of sacrificing him for the sake of his brothers stability - Aaron becomes desperate to find a way to cope with his psychological damage or even fake normalcy. Can his new shrink control his own demons long enough to treat Aaron, or will he only deepen the damage?

Desperate to understand his attraction for Spencer, Aaron holds on to his sanity with both hands as it threatens to spin out of control.

Members Reviews:

Great Three-Hankie Tear-jerker of a book

If you could sum up Aaron in three words, what would they be?

tearjerker, sweet, hopeful

What was one of the most memorable moments of Aaron?

The early sex scene between Spenser and the delivery guy

What does Tyler Stevens bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Great narration. The characters were distinct and their vocal idiosyncrasies fit my picture of the characters very well.

If you could take any character from Aaron out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Spenser he's less damaged than Aaron and I get on well with deaf guys

Any additional comments?

Two years ago Aaron's life as he knew it ended when he and his best friend Juliet stopped to give directions to the men in the beat-up van that hailed them. Now Juliet is in the cemetery and most days Aaron wishes he was too. Instead he lives in state of near constant terror unable to look at his scarred face in the mirror or even shower his burned and scarred body without flashing back on the horrifying events of that day. His sleep is full of nightmares and even the slightest touch of his loving mother sends him into a downward spiral toward terror that only heavy doses of tranquilizers and anti-anxiety meds have seemed to make a dent in.

And yet when Aaron's mother pushes him to take a computer course at a community college, Aaron is forced to interact with Spencer, a deaf boy with issues of his own. Yet, somehow these two misfits find a way closer to normalcy through each other.

This story has its flaws and parts are just not credible (and for that I'm deducting a star) but somehow that soon doesn't matter as much as these two wounded souls charm their way into your heart. And it's not just the two protagonists. I love the relationship Aaron has with his mother. I love his two brothers I love Spenser's father.
