On the summer before Scott turned 14 years old he watched a kid save his dog. He didn't know the significance of this act, for him, for the 15 years old boy who was trying to end his life and most of all for the two of them.
It wasn't the first time Rune tried to end his life but it was going to be his last. Rune's connection to animals and dogs especially prevented him from ignoring the situation and instead of ending a life - his own - he saved the dog and by it also himself.
Rune's secret is our Paranormal element in this story (the only one actually). Rune is basically invisible. He CAN be seen if he works on it, but he doesn't and his reasons are his own. When he realizes Scott can see him in his invisible state he is shocked. Been 15 years old, having no place or no one to go to, FINALLY meeting someone he can communicate with he finds himself spending the best time of his life with Scott, spending the summer always together having fun, swimming, talking and simply enjoying each other's company.
Yet when Scott turns 14 everything changed when Rune simply disappears leaving him broken hearted for more than one reason. His life is also about to change and not for the better.
The story continues four years later when Scott stumbles into Rune again. It takes them time to open up, to say the things they should have said 4 years ago. They need to let go of hurt and anger before they can try and build something together. This time something real to last a lifetime.
I could say so much more about this book but I rather not. I feel like I've said enough as I REALLY don't want to spoiler the whole situation for ANYONE reading this book and I HIGHLY recommend it, though it's not a light read AT ALL. It's heart breaking but it's also what makes it so damn endearing and sweet.
When you find the person that can see you, you don't let go.
