Dream Boy by Jim Grimsley

I picked this book up randomly at a thrift store because I like the title. But I didn't expect to be so impacted as I am. Can we just talk about the ending! This author leaves the reader with two options. Either Nathan died at the end of the book. Or that Nathan lived somehow and ran off with Roy. But I also think the ending could be interpreted where Nathan did die and is a ghost and goes to see Roy at the church. But Roy can only see him. Like he's imagining that Nathan is still there. And while Roy runs up to Nathan in front of his church. The crowd think Roy's talking to no one and might be going mad. Roy's grief and guilt conjure up this image of Nathan. Idk those are just some of my thoughts. I wish this book was more well known cause I need people to discuss this with!
