This book was nice, it wasn't as Hard-hitting or Feels-worthy as [bc:Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda|19547856|Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda|Becky Albertalli|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1402915678s/19547856.jpg|27679579]Simon Vs. The Homo-sapiens agenda or I'll give you the sun [bc:I'll Give You the Sun|20820994|I'll Give You the Sun|Jandy Nelson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1451382614s/20820994.jpg|11409817] but it was an ok edition to the GLBTAP YA books I've been reading. i feel like the Author has an opportunity more than this book to kind of refine and develop his skills as writer. the biggest let down was how short it was, Will, if you are reading this, you should write larger books. The author has quite the potential to become the next David Leviathan if he would just become more poised and strong with his writing TRETCH'S VOICE IS ADORABLE. it's so charming and he is SUCH a loveable character. like wow. he's truly a joy to read about and i love the family dynamics and that tretch knows that his family would be supportive. when i read that this book took place in the south, i was expecting the worst. it's so so relieving to have a coming out story that isn't miserable with supportive parents and friends and a miserable main character. that being said, this book was a solid 4 until the end, where i knocked it down to a 3.5 simply because the ending was resolved waaaaay too neatly. i don't have experience with crushes but even i know you don't get over a crush that easily. and with the bully - well, that doesn't happen either. it's a very optimistic look (reminiscent of david leviathan's boy meets boy) but the resolution is a bit too optimistic, in my opinion. i mean goodreads needs to implement half star ratings because the rest of the book made me round up to a 4. an incredibly good book and one of the better coming out stories i've read. Anything Could Happen follows fifteen-year-old Tretch Farm over the course of Winter Break during his freshman year. Tretch has known he is gay for a while but struggles with when, how, and whether to tell his family. He's also fallen in love with his straight best friend and can't decide what to do about that. While Tretch's crush on his friend provides the story some narrative thrust, the book is less about that than it is about Tretch figuring out who he is, how he wants to relate to the people in his life, and what friendship is. Lovely, well-written LGBTQ-positive YA. Recommended. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Tretch lives in a very small town where everybody's in everybody else's business. Which makes it hard for him to be in love with his straight best friend. For his part, Matt is completely oblivious to the way Tretch feels -- and Tretch can't tell whether that makes it better or worse. The problem with living a lie is that the lie can slowly become your life. For Tretch, the problem isn't just with Matt. His family has no idea who he really is and what he's really thinking. The girl at the local bookstore has no clue how off-base her crush on him is. And the guy at school who's a thorn in Tretch's side doesn't realize how close to the truth he's hitting. Tretch has spent a lot of time dancing alone in his room, but now he's got to step outside his comfort zone and into the wider world. Because like love, a true self can rarely be contained.

Anything Could Happen ... but nothing really does. A bit on the dull side. Trech never really gets all that excited. About anything.
I kept waiting for his parents to ask questions (they never do), and even when Trech accidentally tries to drown himself, it's glossed over by his dad of all people.
First person, present tense did nothing to add to this story. ( )
