Excellent book Matt, I really enjoyed the beautiful story. Really hope many others read this.
Congratulations on Making Josh's top 3 books of the year! I look forward to reading your works.
I'm reading this now, and really enjoying it so far. I love the narrative voices of the boys (and Darren's friends are great.)

Oh yay, a sequel :D :D
Two sequels :) One in March - The Devil's Trill Sonata - and the other in May, Rhapsody on a Theme.
Excellent! I just posted my five star review and look forward to seeing these in the future.
Someone asked me if both of these would be the same main characters?
They will be, yes :)'The Devil's Trill Sonata' shows their separation when Jayden goes to university and Darren to a job, where time and distance are going to do a lot more than simply make things difficult.
The final part, 'Rhapsody on a Theme', shows the shift from coping with depression to trying to actually deal with it.
Thank you for your review, by the way! It was lovely and honest - perfect combination! :D
Cool, I'll pass the info along. :) I'm glad you liked the review.
Ooh, yes :)And the first one is up for the poll for Book of the Month this month - how timely :)
O.o What?Goddamn I need to start paying attention...

Out-and-regretting-it comprehensive attendee Jayden Phillips turns his cast-iron plans for life upside-down by falling in love with private-school violinist Darren Peace, a sardonic boy with the craziest hair Jayden's ever seen.
But all is not what it seems, and Jayden's bullying problem becomes meaningless when he is confronted with what the music does to Darren. How do you stop a dangerous depression rooted in the same thing that makes someone what they are? Dark moods, blank apathy, and the undertow of self-loathing all simmer beneath Darren's dry and beautiful veneer, and Jayden feels powerless to stop them.
Then a mugging gone wrong takes the music forcibly away, and Jayden is finally given the chance to change Darren's life -- and, quite literally, his mind
