About this listen

Alek Khederian thinks about his life BE and AE: Before Ethan and After Ethan. Before Ethan, Alek was just an average Armenian American kid with a mess of curly, dark hair, grades not nearly good enough for his parents, and no idea of who he was or what he wanted.

After he got together with Ethan, Alek was a new man. Stylish. Confident. And (even if he wasn’t quite marching in LGBTQ parades) gay and out and proud.

With their six-month anniversary coming up, Alek and Ethan want to do something special to celebrate. Like, really special. Like, the most special thing two people in love can do with one another. But Alek’s not sure he’s ready for that. And then he learns something about Ethan that may not just change their relationship but end it.

Alek can't bear the thought of finding out who he'd be PE: Post-Ethan. But he also can't forgive or forget what Ethan did. Luckily, his best friend, Becky, and madcap Armenian family are there to help him figure out whether it’s time to just let Ethan go or reach out and hold his hand.

Hold My Hand is a funny, smart, relatable take on the joy and challenges of teenage love, the boundaries of forgiveness, and what it really means to be honest.

Enjoyed this sequel. Liked most the parts about food and Armenian culture slipping neatly into the background. Good depth of characters.

A very enjoyable reading and story
