And now to kick off
another series on my blog, book and film reviews! To start off, I’m reviewing Moving On by H.J. Holt, published from
Dreamspinner Press in July 2012.
Available here:
Moving On is the story
of a young man, Luke, who’s been dealt some tough hands in life. His home life back in the American Midwest
was significantly less than ideal and involved not just the fostering system,
but his own mother’s attempt to use him as a scapegoat for her drug running
operation. Even his boyfriend only adds
to Luke’s troubles and self-esteem issues.
So Luke decided to beat town and immigrate to the UK where we meet him
working at a burger joint in Bristol.
When Luke meets Paul
at a club, they hit it off straight away.
Paul is a teacher who has family money and is doing quite well for
himself. Paul has a few years on Luke,
but that’s not much of an issue for them.
Paul’s social status (including the attitudes of some of his mates) and
the fact that Paul is still grieving the loss of his partner several years ago,
however, might complicate a growing but uncertain relationship.
