But secrets can be dangerous, and when a When Jacob is sent to stay with his aunt and uncle for the summer and falls ill, he's exiled to the attic - the sickroom - and discovers his love of art in the paintings he finds there. Turning his back on his troubles back home, Jacob launches himself into an obsessive friendship with his younger cousin Macon, a secret friendship. But secrets can be dangerous, and when a tantalizing chance to reinvent himself arises, Jacob makes a choice that changes both his life and Macon's forever. A powerful story from the author of Home and The Grimly Queen about the betrayals we regret, the friendships we cherish, and the summers we never forget. ...more How disappointing. It's obvious that the author has talent, but this is a rough copy, it's not finished, it definitely needed more work before being published. The story itself is complete but it feels as if the first draft was published without any revision, any rewriting and it needed some. The going back and forth in time is sometimes confusing because elements are missing to indicate to the reader "when" we are exactly. For example: "He had no idea that she'd painted the park when she was o How disappointing. It's obvious that the author has talent, but this is a rough copy, it's not finished, it definitely needed more work before being published. The story itself is complete but it feels as if the first draft was published without any revision, any rewriting and it needed some. The going back and forth in time is sometimes confusing because elements are missing to indicate to the reader "when" we are exactly. For example: "He had no idea that she'd painted the park when she was only ten, as it didn't make it to the gallery until she was nearly fourteen. After that summer Macon took a break from galleries and pantings altogether." Now when exactly did she take a break? At ten when she painted it? Or at 14 when it made it to the gallery? It will become clearer later on in the story but at that point it's confusing for the reader because the painting part refers to being 10 and the gallery part refers to being 14 and it is stated that she took a break from both, so when exactly was that? It was an easy thing to correct and that's only one of the many examples of things that should have been corrected. It is unclear whether or not the author wanted the reader to know about Jacob's orientation from the start, I for one did know, but it seems like she didn't want to disclose it right away, that she only wanted to hint at it. I imagine she wanted to mirror Jacob's identification of his own orientation by letting it slip through little by little but even there I'm not sure about her intentions, whatever she wanted to do here, it doesn't work, it feels half done. I feel cheated that I actually paid for this, even though it wasn't expensive, because it's unfinished. If it was simply bad I wouldn't mind so much, but this author obviously has talent and it feels disrespectful to her reader that she published this without putting into it the work it needed. ...more I love reading up-and-coming Canadian authors, and this one didn’t disappoint! What I liked most about the story was the tone. It was full of melancholy. I think the author really captured that moment in late childhood when you don’t really know who you are, or what you are, but you know you’ll have to decide soon. It’s a sad time in life for some – the end of childhood – and this is what the story focuses on. I liked Macon, the little cousin with a gift for painting, and the world she and Jacob I love reading up-and-coming Canadian authors, and this one didn’t disappoint!

It’s a sad time in life for some – the end of childhood – and this is what the story focuses on. I liked Macon, the little cousin with a gift for painting, and the world she and Jacob live in for that one summer. This is one passage that I especially enjoyed because of the juxtaposition of Macon's elation and Jacob's betrayal: "The plan was a success. Together, later, we celebrated with a stack of toffee crunches Aunt Vera had baked the day before, five each. She told me she would start painting the next morning, and the way she said it, so eager, made my insides ache. She didn’t know that I hardly cared, that I’d found a faster, better game to play. She didn’t know yet—as she filled her bulging cheeks with sweets, high with sugar and triumph—that I’d already left her behind." The ending is a little tragic and very real. Time fast-forwards six years and you see the characters thrown together for a short time, now grown-up. I liked how Macon was painted as an apathetic teenager, while Jacob is drunk and silly. It was a nice contrast to their relationship when they were younger. All in all, I highly recommend this novella! ...more About Shayna Krishnasamy Shayna Krishnasamy was born and raised in Montreal.
