Your crush on Gideon is completely understandable. I might have to challenge you (and Charis) to a duel for his affections!
I've just finished reading Simone Elkeles's YA, 'Leaving Paradise'. Hero Caleb is a lot like Gideon in some ways--determined, courageous...and oh-so-tortured! The book starts with him being released from jail after being accused of running over his neighbour, Maggie, with his car. As the story unfolds, we learn more about what led to the accident and how it changed Caleb forever.
