Official Review: Beneath the Surface

[Susmita Biswas]

Beneath the Surface by Andrew Teague McCollister seems like a combination of diverse genre. Looking forward to it. Congratulations on #botd.

This book does sound like it delves into some heavy topics. Fans of drama may enjoy this one. It doesn't sound quite like my cup of tea, so I'll likely pass on this one. Thanks for the nicely detailed review! Great job!

Very nice review. I wish it was written as a novel rather than short stories though. Not sure if I would like that style.

This sounds like a very touching coming-of-age novel. I love how this book explores the main character discovering his sexuality. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review.

The book sounds well thought and written. Although, I'm not sure if I'd enjoy reading about exploring one's sexuality. I'll pass it for now.

Thanks for the review, the book touches on a lot of heavy topics. I will add it to my shelves for the day I am courageous enough to pick it up.

Thanks for your comment.

Well written review. I am glad that the author chose to address crucial themes of acceptance, gay sexuality, mental health, depression, rejection, fear, suicide, loss, grief, and love in his work which are very relevant in our contemporary society. I will create time and read this book some other time. Congratulations to the author on BOTD

Thanks for commenting, Erick.

Sounds to me like an interesting read. Having to talk about contemporary issues like depression, gay, rejection and suicide to mention but a few, is quite commendable. Thank you for an honest review.!

You're welcome. I appreciate your comment.

The sample is limited to the preface, which starts with the author's parents having an argument about satisfaction. Will any person ever be satisfied? I don't know if the book will give a satisfactory answer to that question. Hmmm, most intriguing!

Thank you, Miriam.

Beneath the Surface by Andrew Teague McCollister seems to me as an interesting book. The author has tackled so many themes, some which are sensitive. I'm definitely going to give this book a shot. Congratulations to the author on the BOTD. Great review!

Thank you, Bles.

This book talk about contemporary issues that affect our society today. Mental health, fear, love, grieve etc., blended in such a real way is interesting. Thanks for the review.

This is an amazing fictional coming of age story highlighting acceptance, gay sexuality, mental health, depression, rejection, fear, suicide, grief, and love. The book is free on Kindle Unlimited and has an awesome OnlineBookClub review. Congrats @ATMcCollister1 on the BOTD.

Thanks for your comment, Ferdinand.

The book has a lot of powerful insights based on the author's life, however this book isn't my genre so I am going to pass.

Thanks for commenting, Amy.

I really enjoy reading books that include (or are inspired by) thoughts and experiences of real people. This book touches upon some serious topics. I'm glad to see mental health is a relevant topic not only on social media, but also in literature, particularly in this day and age. Also, it's always nice and inspiring to read a well written review.

Thanks for your kind words, Ivona.

Great book to read as the different themes the author talks about in his life. The love of a mother towards his son is exceptional.

Thanks for your comment.
