At the Edge of the Universe

Average rating4.2
From the author of We Are the Ants comes “another winner” (Booklist, starred review) about a boy who believes the universe is slowly shrinking as the things he remembers are being erased from others’ memories.
Tommy and Ozzie have been best friends since the second grade, and boyfriends since eighth. They spent countless days dreaming of escaping their small town—and then Tommy vanished.
More accurately, he ceased to exist, erased from the minds and memories of everyone who knew him. Everyone except Ozzie.
Ozzie doesn’t know how to navigate life without Tommy, and soon he suspects that something else is going on: that the universe is shrinking.
When Ozzie is paired up with the reclusive and secretive Calvin for a physics project, it’s hard for him to deny the feelings developing between them, even if he still loves Tommy.
But Ozzie knows there isn’t much time left to find Tommy—that once the door closes, it can’t be opened again. And he’s determined to keep it open as long as possible.

Life is life. It happens, it goes on. Eventually, it ends, but other lives continue, new ones begin. That's just the way of it. My life would keep going on until the day it didn't, and I could either make the best of it or waste it wishing for what I didn't and might never have.
— The universe is shrinking and there's only one person aware of it. A weird yet affecting book about just living our lives/living in the moment, to not dwell on the past or worry about what's to come. Not as amazing as [b:We Are the Ants|23677341|We Are the Ants|Shaun David Hutchinson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1425574151s/23677341.jpg|43285034], but still a great read!
Un très beau livre de Shaun David Hutchinson à nouveau, un beau parcours sur la disparition de l'être cher dont seul le héros se souvient et qui pose énormément de questions. Plusieurs très beaux passages et des personnages extrêmement attachants. Un très bon moment <3
“Don't get so focused on where you're going that you forget the people you're traveling with.”
