The Long Run by James Acker

5.0

5 Fucking stars for two raw and emotional boys making it through a summer and their senior year. 5 fucking stars for this being a ya book with what feels like actual teenage boys, doing and saying teenage boy shit, and not feeling too much like sweet fluff, without having to go the entire new adult (smut) way, which there is nothing wrong with that but it wasn't needed for this. This showed what real kids do, I fucked at 17, so why not talk about it without having to be detailed about it. 5 stars for two boys who have my heart and made me cry because they deserve every fucking thing in the world. 5 stars even if I wish I knew what happens after, what happens to these two boys who deserve to be happy and get a HEA. I need a sequel, I need to see them in college and to see them as adults. Please god! Either way, instant favorite.
