My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yearning Young by Deidre Huesmann is book 2 in the Burning Britely series. This book is a rollercoaster of raw emotions. The feelings in this book will take you through all the feels. The characters are complex and well developed. The story makes you want to be young and in love trying to figure out this world again. I enjoyed this book even more than the first, and these are some of my favorite characters I’ve read recently. I give this book a solid 5 stars and cant wait to see what this author does next. Again amazing read!

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yearning Young (Burning Britely Book 2) by Deidre Huesmann was sweet, emotional read, that punches you right in the feels.

The second book in the Burning Britely series, we are once again taken on a raw emotional ride of two teens just trying to figure out this stupid thing called love. But being as they are a gay couple, it makes it all the more complicated and for one party, confusing.

Picking up almost where the last book left off, we are greeted by Braeden’s POV, and it was a nice change up. He was a character I wanted to know more about, and I got what I wanted and more. This book was just as sweet as the first, but it held more raw emotions, more realistic struggles, and of course Braeden’s struggle with his sexuality. God, I was a mess while reading this, and I really wanted to smack him. My heart is a fluffy mess, and I really hope there is another book. These two are by far my favorite couple of the year. I need to know more, and I want to know it they make it..

Overall this book is a must read, and I can’t praise it enough. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will be an emotional mess like me once you are done.

Happy Reading

Five Stars

Yearning Young is the second book in the Burning Britely series by Deidre Huesmann. This series should be read in order because it is a continuation from the first book. I loved how the characters grew from the first book. I was hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last. This book has all the feels my emotions were on a roller coaster ride. This book was told in Braeden’s point of view, and we learn more about his feelings. This YA book touch on many issues and I would highly recommend it to the young and young at heart.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Yearning Young, Burning Britley Book Two, by Deidre Huesmann is the second book in this series and is in Braeden’s point of view as where book one was in Jeff’s point of view.

Braeden has always been popular, always seemed put together. Behind the scenes Braeden is dealing with a mother who abuses pills, a father who enables his mother, and Braeden always protecting his siblings. Jeff comes into his life and Braeden falls. His falling for Jeff caused him to be expelled and his less then understanding friends not wanting to understand sexuality and his relationships with Jeff. All the negative is not helping the fears Braeden has venturing into the unknown with Jeff. Quickly things heat up with Jeff and they get closer, which only brings more questions and fears with Braeden.

This is a book and series that is raw and a coming of age about two boys learning about each other and guiding through a new relationship that many don’t or won’t understand. I simply loved diving into the world of Jeff and Braeden, the only issue I had was the book was not as long as I would have liked. I like a lengthier story when I feel such a connection to the characters and the storyline. This is a well written book that I highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yearning Young by Deidre Huesmann is the second book in the Burning Britely series. The more I read about Braeden and Jeff the more I fall in love with them.

Braeden is fiercely protective of the people he loves and he shows that time and time again, especially with his siblings. He doesn’t have the type of parents all kids deserve and should expect to have. He’s still trying to get everything figured out, his life, how to take care of his siblings, how to deal with his parents and how to keep Jeff safe.

Jeff is so lucky to have the parents he does. You don’t need money if you have the love and support of your family and that is what Jeff has. His mother made me laugh out loud a few times, his Dad is stoic but you have no doubts on his feelings for his son.

I want more of this series and adorable couple.

Yearning Young is the second book in the Burning Britely series and I became completely obsessed with it! Its such a beautiful coming of age story that gives you all the feels and then some!

This book is written in Braeden’s POV. He has so much going on in his life and it’s completely weighing him down. Jeff is his anchor. Their connection strengthens throughout the book but the challenges that Braeden faces make him question a lot of things. His home life is rough to say the least and Jeff’s friends questions his feelings towards Jeff. You can’t help but fall head over heals for Braeden and find yourself rooting for him and the issues he faces.

This is one of the most beautiful and poignant series I have read in a long time. This should definitely be on everyone’s must read list!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yearning Young is the second book in the Burning Britely series. You really need to read the first book in order to understand the history of the characters. Yearning Young wraps things up so the story could end here, but I seriously hope there is another one because there could definitely be more.

OMG! I know in my review of the first book I said I wanted to know what happens in their future, but I was not expecting this book. When I read the synopsis, part of me wanted to walk away from reading this story because there were so many ways it could have gone and I wanted to maintain my illusion from the ending of the first book. (If there is another book, I’m just going to get it and not even read the synopsis, lol). But I had to satisfy my curiosity so I spent my day thoroughly lost in the world of Jeff and Braeden. I laughed. I cried. Basically, I had all the feels in a very short period of time. This book tore my heart to pieces and then put it back together. So, so good!!!!

Yearning Young is book two in the Burning Britely series  by Deidre Huesmann. Braeden and Jeff’s story continues in this easy to read tale.

Braeden has a lot going on and struggles to work it all out and get a handle on his feelings. He fell for Jeff quickly and very unexpectedly, which has him reeling. His home life is difficult, so all of that together is a huge weight for a young guy to carry on his own. I really loved how the author described his journey, from falling for Jeff, to working out what his next move would be. The emotions were first love at its most basic and real. I really engaged with these characters, and fell for them even more than I did in the first story. An impressive story that was witty, funny and soul touching. 5 stars

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed Yearning Young, the second book of the Burning Britely series from Deidre Huesmann. I would recommend that you read the first book before you jump into this one, just to kind of have and idea where things are and who the characters are. This continues with the coming of age theme for Jeff and Braeden, only told from Braeden’s point of view this time. I really enjoyed that twist and seeing things from his angle. This does touch on several emotional and touchy topics that are often overlooked or not discussed enough among teens or young adults like they should be and like I mentioned in my review of the first book this would be a great tool to introduce the topic among classes or children of your own etc. I love how Huesmann keeps things realistic and raw without drowning out the the topics at hand, and yet she keeps the storyline at the forefront to keep the reader fully engrossed. I can’t wait to see what is to come next! Thanks for the emotional and thought provoking read Ms. Huesmann!

First I would highly recommend reading this series in order as this picks up after book 1 ends.
In book 1, we follow Jeff, and now we get to follow Braeden. He intrigued me in the first book so getting to to see more was welcomed.
While I can’t give too many details as this is best read as the story progresses, I just have to say how much this book made me feel. While I know this is fiction, it just brings to light that these things do happen in everyday life and some may not ever show they have a life like this behind closed doors.

This was a really great read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yearning Young by Deidre Huesmann is a beautifully written young adult story about life and what it means to be different. This is the second book in the Burning Britely series. The emotions I had reading this story were very real and my heart hurt for Braeden. The story is from Braeden’s point of view and he is dealing with all the hormones of being a teenager and being “different” from others. One thing I love about Braeden is no matter what life throws at him, he always sees the good in the moment. This story is about friendship, loyalty, strength, weakness, and pain. It is one that I recommend all teenagers read that maybe one day they will understand the pain and suffering of other people’s actions.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yearning Young, by Deidre Huesmann is the continuation of Burning Britely. This book is told from Braeden’s perspective, and I thought it gave a much deeper understanding to his situation. He has been the popular rich kid his whole life, and has now found himself expelled from school just before turning 18. He is terrified to come out to his family, since his mom and dad are both already unstable and borderline abusive. He feels obligated to stay in a toxic home, to look after his younger siblings, but when his sister urges him to leave, he begins to start questioning everything. He is torn between choosing his own happiness, and his family, who he always thought was the most important thing. This is a brilliant coming of age story and I loved it. It touches on the struggles a teenager has to face, as well as the added stress for those that are homosexual, or bisexual. The feelings and questionings they feel and comparing themselves to others. I highly recommend this book, and hope there is a 3rd book in the series!

Yearning Young by Diedre Huesmann a five-star read that you will fall for. This is the second novel in the Burning Britely Series, and I would wholeheartedly recommend you read them both as the first gives us one perspective and some background and then this one shows us the rest. There are a lot of complex issues dealt with in this series and the author deals so well, no matter what you feel this story will make you care. This may be wrote for teens but any age will get something out of it.

5-stars

Yearning Young by Deidre Huesmann is an emotional YA read through and through. Just like the first book in the Burning Britely series I was pulled right in and unable to stop reading once I started. This storyline touches on some heavier topics which made it an emotional read for me as I really connected with Braeden.

I love how Deidre wrote the first book in Jeff’s POV and this one in Braeden’s, it gave me the chance to really connect and get to know these characters on a deeper level. I may not be able to relate to Braeden and Jeff but that didn’t take away from this book, I still connected with them and loved following their story.

I hope to read more of them in the future and would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next YA read.

Yearning Young (Burning Britely #2) by​ Deidre Huesmann is a Young Adult coming of age story. It is a quick and easy read that is a follow on from the first book where we saw two young men grow into a friendship. Now in this story we see the two of them in a relationship. This story as with the first is one of love and self discovery, friendship and drama. It is one of coming to terms with who you are, what you are and how others will see you. We also get a look into family dynamics that are brutal and Braedens need for acceptance.    If you love YA stories then you should take time to read this one.

What an amazing book. There is so much I could go on and on about this story but I don’t want to give away any spoilers so I’m going to do a top 5 list…

TOP FIVE THINGS I LOVED ABOUT THIS BOOK

1. Characters are so well developed in the scope and emotion that they are written in. It is like reading from a journal of someone currently experiencing this life.

2. Different POV than the first book. It was cool to hear another voice tell part of the story.

3. Friendships

4. Emotions- I cried and chuckled and cheered.

5. Quick and easy read that is complex and doesn’t short change the characters.

I absolutely recommend this story and this series.

By Deidre Huesmann
Rated 5 stars!!

I loved this book! I was so happy when I spotted it and couldn’t wait to get to it on my TBR. We meet up with the boys after “the incident” from the last book. This is Braeden’s story to tell and boy Oh boy it will keep you glued to this book. Prepare for late night reading. Braeden is somewhat questioning his path and trying to figure out answers and keep his home life afloat. How he balances everything is beyond me. Practice I guess. Jeff! Jeff! You impressed me immensely! I don’t want to say much but you are amazing! I was impressed with you in the last book and you just keep raising the bar! I had many emotions while reading this. I snickered, had a few tears, was worried and impressed. These two boys and (Maya) hold a special place in my heart. Being a teenager is hard enough…..

This is the second in the series and I was pleased to enjoy reading the continuing story of Jeff and Braeden. Life is not going to be easy but their strength of character is impressive. I wonder what will happen after the summer is over?

This story flows easily. I started this and struggled to put it down. I was thinking about these two even at work today. Trying to help them out with ideas. The characters are flawless and enjoyable to read about. Another stellar story by Deidre Huesmann.

Yearning Young by Deidre Huesmann is the second book in the Burning Britely series. This 5 star book is an excellent follow up to the first.

In this book we get to see Braeden’s life and it makes me sad. The way his father and mother treat him and his sister is completely unacceptable and I know it does really happen. The manipulation his father uses on him and Jeff is outrageous. My heart broke for Jeff and Braeden and the future of their relationship, not knowing if they will stick it out or break up.

Fantastic second book and I can not wait for the next one. I really can’t wait to see where Jeff and Braeden end up and the future of Braeden’s family drama.

Yearning Young is the second novel in the Burning Britely series by Deidre Huesmann. This is my second novel by this author.

Following in the end of the previous novel, Brendan is having a hard time after being expelled from school. With his home life, his Mom lying and his father demanding he get a job, his time with his boyfriend Jeff is limited.

But as their time together becomes closer, the question remains: what do guys do together?

I was so excited to start this because I really enjoyed the first book. This is story of understanding feelings, relationships and a destructive home life.

I highly recommend this novel.

This is the second book in the Burning Britely series. This book is written from the view of Braeden.

It goes through the confusion and consequences he had to face when he realised he had fallen for Jeff.
As well as a abusive family life to deal with Braeden struggles to find his place in his new romance with Jeff.

This book is really well written and expresses really well the feelings and emotions around things happening in his homelife and the feelings hes working through towards Jeff.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yearning Young is the 2nd book in the amazing, Young Adult, coming-of-age, Burning Britely series by Deidre Huesmann. I had really enjoyed the 1st book, but this second book was, in my opinion, much better than the first book.
In book 1 we are given the groundwork in the growing friendship between Jeff and Braeden. Now in book 2 (which is told from Braeden’s POV) Jeff and Braeden are in a relationship.
From the outside, Braeden has an ideal life…rich family, top track performer, good looks. We are given an insight in book 1 that Braeden’s life isn’t all rosy but in this book we get to see the harsh, heart-breaking reality that is Braeden’s home life. Add this to Braeden’s worries about his sexuality, Braeden is a very mixed up young man with so much going on.
This book has so much emotion and angst, I will have you gripped from the very beginning. Like most teenage boys Braeden can be a bit of a pain at times, but you can’t help but be drawn to him and be rooting for him as he goes through so much adversity.
If you like reading the YA genre then this is a must read, however, make sure you read the first book Burning Britely before this one to get the full impact of this fabulous story.

Yearning Young by Deidre Huesmann is the second book in the Burning Britely series. This is a series that I would recommend reading in order as it follows the story of the same two characters throughout.
Everything about this book is as raw and emotional as the first. I loved how this time we got to see things from Braeden’s point of view. I loved it when it was Jeff but there is something about Braeden that just really resonated with me.
It was so easy to become so invested in him as a character. He was genuinely likeable. The story was fantastic as well. It was a brilliant continuation from where book 1 left off. The author pulls you straight back in their world and I couldn’t put this book down at all. I would highly recommend this whole series.

Yearning Young was another great read from this author. Although M/M stories aren’t a particular genre I read I do like this author’s writing and this story was beautifully written, as was book 1. I love the way she gets the emotions of her characters across and I think that this book would be enjoyed by YA’s especially if they find that they are in a similar situation to the main characters. I really enjoyed reading Braeden’s story. I think that the author made him a really relatable character. I could really feel his inner turmoil as he tried to find out who he really was. It felt like I was right there with him at times. Having read book 1 from Jeff’s POV it was good to read this one from Braeden’s. I feel like I really know the characters well.
Yearning Young was a really enjoyable read that I highly recommend!

Yearning Young is the second book in the Burning Britely series by Deidre Huesmann. As with the first book, this is a great YA/coming of age story, full of self-discovery and realization, some angst, drama, friendship, expectations, emotions, dysfunctional family dynamics, and self-acceptance.
The book is an emotive, quick and easy read. It has a great pace and a smooth flow. The story and characters were interesting and quite relatable. And, like the first story, I loved the strong character development and growth that occurred over the course of the story/series. The characters were fully realised, and the story had a depth that packed quite a bit of intensity at times. We have met these characters in the first book, and while book one was from Jeff’s perspective, this one gives us Braeden’s POV.
I do recommend reading this book, especially to those who love a great YA novel that has depth, emotion, and wonderful characters grappling with ‘life’, right on the cusp of adulthood.

Thank you, Ms. Huesmann!

Book 2

☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length novel. Written for the young adults group of teens.

Braedyn is making his way through school, youth and his own sexuality. This is his story and how he fits in his broken family. Mom is addicted to pills. Dad is extremely enabling. Along with helping his siblings find themselves. His life has gone in so many different directions and now let’s add Jeff.

Deidre Huesmann has done it again in book 2. Her characters are amazing and fit this story so well. I love that she asks and answers so many questions in her story. I think this is a beautifully written story. So good I will recommend it to all of my friends and their young adults. Please take the time to read her series. I just love it. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

5 out of 5 stars

Yearning Young is the second book in the Burning Britley series written by Deidre Huesmann and it’s the second book that I have read by this author. The characters were well written and the storyline was different with self-discovery and self-acceptance we also have strong friendships and families and also dysfunctional, chaotic families and friends.
We met Jeff and Braeden in book two and this story is told from Braeden’s POV. Braeden is a good guy who is confused and trying to figure out who he is.

Braeden’s never had to question anything before. He’s always been popular, always had everything handed to him, and always been straight. Then he met Jeffrey Young. Quiet, studious, analytical a guy.
Now he’s questioning everything. Like if he can handle his pill-abusing mother and ruthlessly enabling father much longer. If he’s protecting his siblings out of selfless motivations. If he belongs with Jeff, now his boyfriend. Jeff’s less-than-straight friends are skeptical of his sexuality as well, which isn’t assuaging any of Braeden’s fears.
As their connection deepens quickly Braeden is asking himself if he is supposed to be with a guy.
This is a great read…

This is the second book in this series, the best yet! This is a young adult story about a boy who is a little confused on who he is and trying to figure that out. He struggles with life problems that normal young adults struggle with at this age. Braedyn is a great character and I enjoyed watching him grow throughout the story. I did feel compassion for him as he feels that he has so much on his plate. I didn’t regret picking up this book and you won’t either. A must read!

Braeden is a character that I could empathize and sympathize with. He is at times confused with his feelings, angry, upset, and feels guilt. Braeden is a character that I grew to care about in the first book and this story will have you wanting him to find happiness. He is a young man who has had to grow up fast. He is also protective of those he cares for. He has parents that are not the best role models. This story also has his connection with Jeff Young growing deeper. These two have an attraction to each other. Always believing that he was straight Braeden is not sure what is supposed to come next in his relationship with Jeff. What happens next in their relationship? What does the future hold for Braeden? Read this book to find out. There are intense scenes and dialogue in this story. My heart went out to Braeden and there are times when you just wish you could solve all of his problems. This is a book that once I started, I didn’t want to put down. I got lost in the story. I also enjoyed reading about Jeff. He is a young man who while he was bullied and beaten in the past, is now showing more confidence. There are other characters that you read about. Some of them have been brought forward from the first book and others you are introduced to. Some of them are manipulative and others are friendly to Braeden. This story deals with issues that are heartbreaking. Don’t miss out on the continuing story of Braeden and Jeff. I highly recommend reading it.
