Three years ago, Bear McKenna’s mother took off for parts unknown with her new boyfriend, leaving Bear to raise his six-year-old brother Tyson, aka the Kid. Somehow they’ve muddled through, but since he’s totally devoted to the Kid, Bear isn’t actually doing much living. With a few exceptions, he’s retreated from the world, and he’s mostly okay with that - until Otter comes home.
Otter is Bear’s best friend’s older brother, and as they’ve done for their whole lives, Bear and Otter crash and collide in ways neither expect. This time, though, there’s nowhere to run from the depth of emotion between them. Bear still believes his place is as the Kid’s guardian, but he can’t help thinking there could be something more for him in the world ... something or someone.

LA, looks like your book pimping skills are now finely tuned :)All roads point to Susan hating this book:Bad titleBad coverBad 1st person POVBad female charactersBUT, funny thing is, sometimes you just cant predict what youre gonna like. I actually finished this book with a smile on my face. Much to my surprise, the main characters (Bear, Otter, and The Kidgo figure) were all super likable. Bears fierce loyalty to The Kid, Otters fierce loyalty to Bear, and The Kids fierceness, period (god, I adore this one!), made it all so charming and sweet. Yes,
Let me start by saying the author has excellent writing skills, and that the book was well written. However, I can't view it as an original novel, since it is a complete rip-off of the gay themed movie "Shelter" (2007 - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0942384/). I saw the movie a couple of years ago and this book has the same characters, same story development, same guy-gives-up-scholarship-to-take-care-of-small-child plot. Both the movie and this book even start with the same scene -- he's driving

4 stars! There's nothing like being admonished by a nine-year-old ecoterrorist in training. This is a book I've been meaning to read for a LONG time. Bear, Otter and the Kid is the story of Derrick (Bear), a 21 year old man who is raising his younger brother on his own. Their mom left when he was 17, and it's been just him, his brother and his best friend for a long time. When Bear's best friends brother Otter comes home after a long time away, and Bear must face feelings he never expected.
5 StarsFantastic! 5 Stars and straight into the favourites folder! And I'll be honest and admit that I made this decision around 10 pages in - that's how much this grabbed me (and it didn't let go until the final swoon-worthy page). I'm a little incoherent at the moment so I'll keep this short and say I'm ashamed it took my so long to pick up my first T.J. Klune story. I'm mostly ashamed because I knew I'd love his stories (from reading all my GR friends' fabulous reviews) and yet I still
WOOO HOOOO!!! I loved this book, I actually did a Happy Dance at the end...I thought of doing the 4.5 stars thingy, but then said SCREW IT! Any debut novel that has me laughing my ass off, and crying my eyes out at the same time, gets FIVE WHOLE STARS.Well this is Bear, Otter and the Kid's story. Bear McKenna, at seventeen years old and just weeks away from finally going away to college, finds a letter from his mother letting him know she's taken off and left him to take care of his five year
