Özet

All I think, all I feel, all I know is pressed into this moment. And what I know is that I can’t let him go.

1916. Returning to the Front after injury, nineteen-year-old Stephen wonders what he’s fighting for. Then he meets Private Danny McCormick, a smart, talented new recruit. From their first meeting, there’s something undeniable between them – something forbidden by both society and the army. Determined to protect Danny, Stephen must face down the ignorance of his superiors as well as the onslaught of German shells and sniper fire. As the summer ticks down to the Battle of the Somme, will Stephen and Danny’s love save them – or condemn them?

This book contains slurs that we today recognise as insulting and unacceptable but which were commonly and casually used during the period. These words and phrases do not reflect the opinions of the author and publisher, but it is important in a historical work of fiction to reflect the reality of the world in which the story is set.

Eleştirmen yorumları

'It’s a tale from the past, with a message for today. A stunningly poignant, devastating, and ultimately beautiful tour-de-force.' (Simon James Green, author of Gay Club!)
'Deft, tender and unflinching, The Boy I Love is a terrific achievement that grips like a thriller throughout. A love story, a war story, a story of sacrifice and redemption, it shows how the best of humanity can endure even in the darkest times. Breathtakingly good.' (Jonathan Stroud)
'Magnificent. It takes a special writer to simultaneously capture both the horrors of war and the joys of true love, but William Hussey manages it effortlessly. My new favourite YA love story.' (Phil Earle, award-winning author of When the Sky Falls)

Absolutely beautiful, emotional and one of my absolute favourites of the year. And easy 10/10 and a perfect way to voice those men who would’ve been queer during the war.

This story not only shows how horrible and horrific the war was, but how a love between two men can become something more. From the detail of the conditions at the front line, to the constant reminders that the war is no place to be taken lightly but, also how each and every solider stands side by side and never abandons their comrades. The narrator did a beautiful job at going from the different accents of the soldiers and how he captured the fear, dread and hope in their voices.

Overall, Stephen and Danny are two of the most loveable characters you will ever meet and you will certainly would want them to get all the happiness they deserve.

5 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely loved The Boy I Love. It was a heart-wrenching read, beautifully written and deeply moving. From the very first page, I was drawn into the world of characters who felt so real, their emotions so raw, that their love story stayed with me long after I turned the final page.

As a young adult, I would have given anything for a book like this—one that centred on the love story of two gay men, set against the backdrop of World War I. Representation matters, and William Hussey has given us something truly special: a story that doesn’t just include LGBTQ+ characters but places them firmly at the heart of history, reminding us that love, in all its forms, has always existed, even in the most difficult times.

Thank you, William Hussey, for crafting a novel that is both tender and powerful, and for ensuring that these stories are told. The Boy I Love is a book I wish I had in my youth, and one I hope will reach and resonate with many young readers today.
