Synopsis

2026 Rainbow Book List"The way Snipes broke my heart and sewed it back together should be illegal." — Robbie Couch, New York Times bestselling author“Heart-wrenching, hilarious, and hopeful, with a perfectly fantastical touch.” — A.L. Graziadei, author of IcebreakerFrom acclaimed author Kevin Christopher Snipes comes a moving romance about two star-crossed boys trapped in a millennium-spanning cycle of reincarnation whose only hope of escape may be a price that neither is willing to pay. Perfect for fans of Adam Silvera and Eliot Shrefer!Out and proud, Riley Iverson knows there’s nothing more cringe than crushing on a straight boy. But from the moment that the handsome and sporty Jackson Haines walks into his life, Riley can’t help but feel an undeniable connection.Mainly because, as impossible as it seems, Jackson is the spitting image of the boy who’s recently appeared in Riley’s dreams—dreams set in another time and another place where he and Jackson are desperately in love.Soon these dreams morph into increasingly vivid nightmares. But no matter where or when these visions play out, two things remain constant: Riley and Jackson are always together, and they always die at the end.Forced to consider the possibility that their burgeoning relationship might be propelling them headfirst into their own tragic ending, the boys have to decide: Is it worth staying apart to save their lives if the price is forsaking a love that has defied not only time and space but death itself?

Goodreads review by Marieke on May 11, 2025

Recipe: take 60% cuteness from Simon James Green, add 20% love that’s needed to survive from The Darkness Outside Us, and top off with 20% Death-Cast from They Both Die at the End. Don’t Let Go is pitched as Adam Silvera meets Eliot Schrefer, but I need to tell you that this story is far from angsty......more

Goodreads review by Devon on May 04, 2025

I knew pretty much from the first chapter this book wasn't for me. I knew from the second that it was going to be a bit of a struggle, But I wanted to believe in some capacity that I was being too harsh. Unfortunately, I was the wrong audience, but more than that I wasn't sure who the actual audienc......more

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review! Despite my three stars, I would still recommend it to people if they are interested in reading it! There were just some things I would have changed. I don’t think I’ve ever read a novel with re......more

4.5/5 ⭐️ I saw that ending coming, but I still hated it when it happened. The story was good, but I just want queer love to always have a happily ever after. I guess it comforts me a little to know that these two boys have had, and will continue to have, each other in every lifetime. Not even death......more

eARC received from Netgalley. I've have not read many reincarnation stories in novel format, and I'm beginning to think that I might love them. Don't Let Me Go was devastating and wholesome and encapsulated teenage desperation perfectly. Seriously, the dramatics from these characters were so over-the......more
