At the Edge of the Universe
So instead of aliens trying to blow up the human homeland, the universe is now shrinking?With most authors I'd be skeptical, but after We Are the Ants, Shaun David Hutchinson could write about rockette monkeys performing Chicago on Mars and I'd read it.*After Actually Reading the Book* Dont get so focused on where youre going that you forget the people yore travelling with. Theres no point reaching a destination if you arrive alone. After the god send known as We Are the Ants, I was so excited
Full review posted!....All my life, I have been living at the edge of the Universe. Unfortunately, it took 19 years and a book for me to realize. We've all got things about ourselves we hate and these dark places inside of us we're terrified to show people. We live in constant fear that someone is going to discover the rotting corpses we keep buried in those dark places, and that when they do, they'll despise us for them.

This was my first book by SDH and I've been so hyped about his work that this could have easily gone the "it didn't live up to my expectations" way. But! It didn't! I have no idea what I expected from this in terms of plot and characters but I can say that it was definitely worth the hype (I say hype but how come only around 1800 people have rated this on goodreads?? How???)Anyway, I don't have a copy of this anymore because I read it on Riveted, so this is a short review with no quotes or
It definitely is no secret that At The Edge Of The Universe was probably my most anticipated book of the year. After reading We Are The Ants last year and completely falling in love with it, I was ready to read absolutely everything ever written by Shaun David Hutchinson.--What I LikedThe writing. Shaun David Hutchinson just has this way of completely pulling you in with his writing. Theres just something so beautiful and magical about it.

This is a book about being human when the world around you is ending.There is a lot I really liked about this book. Shaun David Hutchinson is consistently good at making you feel the emotions of a piece, get caught up in the story: I was stressed and desperate to finish. I loved the strong prevalance of side characters. I think side character conflicts are an excellent addition to any book and are often sadly neglected. Hes also very good at dangling a mystery but giving it enough of a solid

Description Conducive To Books At the Edge of the Universe
Tommy and Ozzie have been best friends since second grade, and boyfriends since eighth. They spent countless days dreaming of escaping their small town—and then Tommy vanished. More accurately, he ceased to exist, erased from the minds and memories of everyone who knew him. Everyone except Ozzie. Ozzie doesn’t know how to navigate life without Tommy, and soon suspects that something else is going on: that the universe is shrinking. When Ozzie is paired up with new student Calvin on a physics project, he begins to wonder if Calvin could somehow be involved. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is for him to deny the feelings developing between them, even if he still loves Tommy. But Ozzie knows there isn’t much time left to find Tommy–that once the door closes, it can’t be opened again. And he’s determined to keep it open as long as possible.Details Books As At the Edge of the Universe

The universe is shrinking.... which is a central theme in this story, but the science fiction never dominates the deeper issues and personal growth. Shaun David Hutchinson is brilliant at the way he maneuvers huge life situations while keeping a causal perspective quality in his writing at the same time. Wonderful characters. Ozzie and Tommy are gay...but it's never their gayness that stands out. Again... I can't say enough about Shaun David Hutchinson. His focus is on Ozzie's and Tommy'sSo instead of aliens trying to blow up the human homeland, the universe is now shrinking?With most authors I'd be skeptical, but after We Are the Ants, Shaun David Hutchinson could write about rockette monkeys performing Chicago on Mars and I'd read it.*After Actually Reading the Book* Dont get so focused on where youre going that you forget the people yore travelling with.
