Okay, it's time to start reading a new @ShaunDavidHutchinson book.

After #WeAreTheAnts and #AtTheEdgeoftheUniverse, I'm ready for another soul-destroying #lgbtqia book

I just finished #reading #WeAreTheAnts by Shaun David Hutchinson again.

The story is of a boy not being accepted and unalived himself. His boyfriend remained but suffered badly and maintaining face while his psychological landscape crumbled using alien abduction as the tonic.

Ever watched #MysteriousSkin ? If that didn't have enough emotional impact for you, you sociopath, this will get you right in the feelz.

The book that didn’t let me sleep last night was “we are the ants” by Shaun David Hutchinson. It’s about a boy who is regularly abducted by aliens. The aliens tell him living things on Earth will be gone in half a year unless he presses a big red button they have on their spaceship.

I didn’t know what to expect, but it’s really really nice.
It’s about a boy trying to not die, really. He is bullied, he is gay, his boyfriend killed himself, his family seems to be in pieces, he lost his best friend, so yeah, he has many many reasons to not survive the next half a year.
But he had a choice with the red button so he searches even if he doesn’t realise for things to keep him alive.
He finds the good in his family (his relationship with his grandma and mom, and Charlie❤️), he gets back with his best friend to grieve together, he lets go of the abusive sex friend, and even comes a new boy even if he isn’t without his dark bags either.
