#FreeRead A Day in the Life of Christy Before Michael
Christy looked at the paper cup containing his medication. It sat in the same place on the breakfast tray every morning. He hated that he had to take medication and, as much as he valued food, he lost his appetite every time he saw the pills. They reminded him of before, of what they did to him. He hated them with the white-hot fury of a thousand suns. He hated the pills even more for reminding him of them. He spent every moment of his pathetic existence fighting not to think about them, not to remember them, not to let them assault his mind as they’d assaulted him—fighting the fear. The fear that one day at least one of them would come for him. To take him back. Back to... before. He struck out sending the tray crashing to the polished tongue-and-groove floor, the food landing with a soft splat. He squeezed his eyes closed, pressed the heels of his hands to his lids, and concentrated. Go away. Leave me alone, he silently begged his vivid memories.
When the memories slowly faded,... continue reading here.

See What French Reviewers Are Saying About Ómorphi!
« Il y a ces livres, si rares, si précieux
qui bousculent votre vie, bouleversent votre esprit et restent gravés dans
votre coeur... "Omorphi" est de ces livres. » —Eryna
« J'ai été tellement touché que j'avais
envie de les prendre dans mes bras, les réconforter...Les personnages
secondaires sont tous aussi importants, car malgré la gravité de la situation,
ils apportent une belle touche d'humour! Cody Kennedy est un auteur à suivre. »
—Livie
« Ce livre c'est le genre d'histoire qui
vous fait passer par tout un panel d'émotion et qui vous est impossible à
arrêter en cours de lecture. Vous en voulez toujours plus, et même arrivé à la
fin, vous ne voulez pas quitter les personnages. C'est le genre d'histoire qui
résonne en vous, qui s'infiltre dans votre tête, et vous remue de l'intérieur.
» —Ely
« Il y a bien longtemps que je n'avais pas
lu un livre si poignant, si dur qu'il me fallait arrêter de lire pour supporter
et assimiler l'horreur indicible de ce que l'Homme peut faire subir à un autre
être humain ! Ce roman est une ode à a vie et à l'espoir bien que regorgeant de
tout ce qui se fait de pire. J'en ressors bouleversée et grandit car j'ai eu la
chance d'avoir des parents comme Michael qui ont su faire de moi une personne
tolérante, ouverte et sans préjugés. » —Marionle6tron
« ENORME coup de coeur pour ce livre de
plus de 550 pages (tout de même) mais qui se lit avec une extrême facilité tant
j'ai été happée, "aspirée" par cette histoire qui m'a prise aux
tripes...Ce sujet qu'est la maltraitance, abus....n'est pas un sujet facile à
aborder et pourtant C. Kennedy l'a fait avec extrêmement de pudeur et de
retenue, même si certains passages sont poignants. » —Caliméro
« L'histoire est émouvante, mais l'auteur a
fait en sorte que ce ne le soit pas en continue. On a donc des moments bien
bouleversants, avec l'histoire de Christy, mais également des moments de
franche rigolade avec le duo Michael et Jake, les inséparables. Il y a aussi
des moments de doute, d'angoisse, de joie, d'apprentissage de la vie.... » —de Nanaho

“Cody Kennedy writes with staggering beauty... The love
story... leapt from the page and wrapped itself around your heart.”—Sammy Goode, Joyfully Jay Reviews & Goodreads YA LGBT Group

so many facets to Cody Kennedy’s first full-length novel, it was just… so
much.”—Tina, The Novel Approach

[you] know that you are not alone and you are not defined by what has been done
to you.”—Deb, Live Your Life, Buy theBook
Thárros
“...for beneath the social overtones of this novel lurks a
breathtaking story of love and healing.... Author Cody Kennedy has created an
indomitable spirit in Christy—one that will not be broken despite all the

courage... we do muster courage, because without it there
is no hope. And without hope, we are all lost.... a story of great

blend of both strength and love. The telling of a great, great love story—with
true friendship shining through, the kind of love that inspires both happy
endings and hope....”—Anna Lund

compelling situations. As I read, I was right there with Christy and

your life in so many ways and remind you that we must all be dragon slayers.”—Sammy Goode, The Novel Approach
