Even though they're identical, Tristan isn't close to his twin Robbie at all - until Robbie tries to kill himself. Forced to share a room to prevent Robbie from hurting himself, the brothers begin to feel the weight of each other's lives, on the ice and off. Tristan starts seeing his twin not as a hockey star whose shadow Tristan can't escape, but a struggling gay teen terrified about coming out in the professional sports world. Robbie's future in the NHL is plagued by anxiety and the mounting pressure from their dad, coach, and scouts, while Tristan desperately fights to create his own future, not as a hockey player, but a musical theatre performer. As their season progresses and friends turn out to be enemies, Robbie finds solace in an online stranger known only as "Jimmy2416". Between keeping Robbie's secret and saving him from taking his life, Tristan is given the final call: sacrifice his dream for a brother he barely knows, or pursue his own path. How far is Robbie willing to go - and more importantly, how far is Tristan willing to go to help him?

Jerkbait was quite a good novel. The writing was smooth and allowed you to stay in the story. The characters were believable and the trials they went through were interesting and understandable. Tristan, the main character, found that he loved his twin, Bobbie, even through all the hell he went through growing up. Watching Tristan grow up and become a man who could help his brother was wonderful and kept me reading the story for hours. I also loved Tristan's twin Bobbie. Bobbie's struggles dealing with depression and self-loathing was difficult to watch but interesting. I felt for Bobbie and how hard his life was even though it seemed he had everything.There were two things in the book, though, that made me take off a star. First was Heather, Tristan's best friend. I couldn't understand why she did what she did to Tristan and Bobbie. The author never made her behaviors understandable, which left me annoyed. What would cause someone to change so? In the end, I decided she must be a bit of a psychopath to become who she became. The second reason I took off a star was because the author used a 'gimmick' to solve a problem. It is well known that twins don't share thoughts or know what the other is doing. Using this method as a way to help Tristan find Bobbie when he was missing soured the story for me. I wish the author could have used something more convincing to help Tristan track Bobbie. The whole 'sharing brains' trick was irritating and in an otherwise great book, one really foul note.In the end I would recommend the book to others. It is well written and will keep your interested for hours. Except for that one silly gimmick, I would say the book was superb.
JERKBAIT has been one of my most eagerly anticipated books of 2016 ... and I'm here to tell you it far exceeded all of my expectations. And then some. I read a few chapters of this last night before reluctantly going to bed and had every intention of reading only a few more tonight. Instead, I read straight through until the end. I seriously could not put it down. The storyline is so compelling, Robbie and Tristan are so captivating, I couldn't bear to stop reading. This book is DARK people, oh so very dark. There are myriad topics addressed: depression, homophobia, bullying, the pressure placed on star athletes, among a few others. But along with the dark, there is the light of hope as Robbie and Tristan forge their paths to become the people they wish to be.Jerkbait (ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT TITLE MIA SIEGERT) is emotional, I cried more than a few times. It's super intense - I found myself holding my breath often. It's a little bit out there because holy hell some of the people in this book are just soooooo extreme you'll be like wth did I just read. But. BUT in spite of that, I guarantee once you start this book, you won't put it down.Excellent, fabulous story!
Well, I picked this one up thinking "I'm not tired, maybe I'll read some before bed." Well the birds outside are chirping and I'm finally finished (if in desperate need of a nap). It's one of *those* books.Positives:- Tristan and Robbie are damn good characters. I was rooting for them both the entire time, often while wanting to slap one or both upside the head while also hugging them. They're interesting people I enjoyed spending time with. Would've liked more, really.- Keisha is freaking adorable. I just love her.- Gay male characters in YA are generally on one end of the stereotype spectrum or the other - either "not like other boys" sensitive/allergic to sports/only female friends or the overcompensating bro jock douche who bones every girl in sight to prove his heterosexuality. Tristan is neither of those tropes, despite being a closeted athlete. It was nice to have a character who seemed like an actual person. I think a lot of teens reading the book will find him more relatable than a lot of gay male teen characters.- Straight male character who loves musicals? How do you not love that?- The characters are diverse, but naturally so, and points for using "dark skin" as a descriptor of Keisha's physical beauty - that's just sadly rare in all forms of media. Anything with a "beautiful" female character who isn't blonde/redheaded, thin and pale with long hair makes me happy. Everyone should be able to envision themselves as the "hot" character the main character swoons over.- "Jimmy" is fantastically gross and creepy. As someone who did grow up in the AOL chat room days of the internet, his chats/texts seemed pretty friggin' accurate.- I can't really comment on how the book handles the complications of being a gay athlete, because I know nothing about hockey (some of the vocab went over my head but it was pretty easy to figure out from context) or about the politics of sexuality in sports. But as someone who was a gay female mentally ill teen, a lot of Robbie's feelings seem comparable and relatable to how I felt growing up. That self-hatred for reasons you can't quite piece together, feeling totally out of control (although in Robbie's case, his parents have made that an actual truth - he has no control over anything in his life. Seriously, no wonder the poor kid is determined to end it.) The anger issues, the parental denial of the entire situation, the seeming impossibility of there being a way out of this misery outside of suicide, finding horribly unhealthy coping methods and having every single cry for help fall on the ears of people who don't want to hear them, being berated by people who think that if they just yell at you enough you'll suck it up and immediately go back to the superstar you were before your brain went to crap, the insistence that no you're not really gay/trying to talk you out of it...yeah, it feels pretty authentic. I kind of wish the book had had alternating POVs because I would've loved to really get inside Robbie's head while he was dealing with all of these things.Negatives:- I think it could've been longer. There are a few storylines that take place over the course of the book, and I would've loved to have spent more time with all of them. Some of the resolutions seem a little rushed (Robbie's teammates come around pretty quickly after hearing of his suicide attempts; as the book so astutely points out early on, kids are generally crueler before they start to get nicer when it comes to suicidal people), and I would have really enjoyed more time building up Robbie's relationship with "Jimmy." Hell, I'd enjoy a whole separate book that's just THIS NOVEL from Robbie's point of view, since that and many other things I'd have loved some insight into would've required Robbie as a narrator.- Magical realism isn't really my thing, but I'm a fair bit older than the book's target audience. As a teenager I doubt I would've thought much about it. So really that's just a matter of preference.
