Praise for Don't Let Me Go

"Trumble's debut is a deeply moving and in-dept look at the perils and anxieties of being gay in high school." --Publishers Weekly starred review

"A sexy, vibrant, and heartfelt debut that captures the drama, heartache, joy, and all-around craziness of being young and in love." --Martin Wilson, author of What They Always Tell Us

"Don't Let Me Go is a particularly important novel because it tackles issues of acceptance, harassment, and responsibility. A relevant message coupled with a charming teen romance makes this debut novel a true champion." --Christopher Verleger, contributor, EDGE

Don’t Let Me Go is a charming story. Trumble’s love for the characters is evident on every page, and it’s contagious.” --Robin Reardon, author of A Secret Edge

"I hated Don't Let Me Go. It made me ache for a boyfriend like Adam." --Brent Taylor, The Naughty Book Kitties

"This is a great addition to GLBTQ collections, and a good read for those teens looking for a gay love story that explores a relationship in the same way that straight love stories do." --School Library Journal

"Trumble excels at putting the reader inside the mind of a gay young man living in a largely unaccepting community. The emotion brought to this work is its strength." --VOYA

 

Where You Are

Robert Westfall's life is falling apart--everywhere but in math class. That's the one place where problems always have a solution. But in the world beyond high school, his father is terminally ill, his mother is squabbling with his interfering aunts, his boyfriend is unsupportive, and the career path that's been planned for him feels less appealing by the day.

Robert's math teacher, Andrew McNelis, watches his best student floundering, concerned but wary of crossing the line between professional and personal. Gradually, Andrew becomes Robert's friend, then his confidante. As the year progresses, their relationship--in school and out of it--deepens and changes. And as hard as he tries to resist, Andrew knows that he and Robert are edging into territory that holds incalculable risks for both of them.

J.H. Trumble, author of the acclaimed Don't Let Me Go, explores a controversial subject with extraordinary sensitivity and grace, creating a deeply human and honest story of love, longing, and unexpected connection.
