By twenty-four, Carter Stevenson has stuttered and ticced his way to debilitating shyness. Although his friends accuse him of letting his Tourette's dictate his life, Carter moves from Los Angeles to a quiet California town. He'll keep his head down and avoid people. He doesn't anticipate his new neighbor, Ethan Hart, crashing into his solitude and forcing him to get out and live. From the beginning, Ethan makes his love for Carter clear. But he fears Carter won't see past Ethan's damaged brain, even though it makes Ethan more attuned to his emotions than most people. For Carter, there's a bigger issue: he's been burned by so-called "perfect" matches, and he won't risk his heart again. One way or another, Ethan's determined to show Carter they belong together. Then Ethan receives tragic news. Suddenly he must turn to Carter for strength and support. Will Carter come through when Ethan needs him most?Identify Books During Ethan, Who Loved Carter

I'm just going to put it out there...This book is sentimental to the extreme, it is sappy, and it is sweet, it's meant to make you cry and get all goofy over two men who are a little broken and different and who get a happy ending the likes of which will make you want to hug a stanger and break into song...ALL those things happened to me. If sappy annoys you, it may not be for you...Personally I do not mind having my SAPPY buttons pushed if I am thoroughly enjoying a story, and I really lovedWritten October 1, 20144.7 Huge Stars - Sappy or not, this IS a Beautiful story. -Made me feel all these great warm and fuzzy feelings you long forI just said something like this to a friend: ~ I'm afraid this story could seem too heartwarming and cozy. ...Because there are no big bad guys here. No new innovatory artistic expression or complicated characters, tricky odd sex, etc. Just a wonderful novel about two young men, life quality impacting defects, family, friendship and tender love. I
Moving.Poignant yet necessary.Even controversial.I probably could go on for days about the love I have for this book. Stories with main characters like this need to be told regardless of the genre. You can tell the amount of passion and research that went into "Ethan, Who Loved Carter" from the first few paragraphs. Carter who has Tourette's falls for his next door neighbor, Ethan who has Traumatic Brain Injury. The first thought I had once finding out Ethan's back story was, "How is this one
Perfect. Absolutely perfect. I would not have changed, nor would wish anything to be changed, in this story.K.C. Kellys seemingly effortless narration is truly stunning. He brings the characters to life along with all of their emotions and struggles. This is one of the best hurt/comfort books Ive ever read.Every time I listen to it Im grateful for its marshmallow-type fluffiness. Thats not to say this is an easy read because I wont lie to youits not. Carters Tourettes often made me cringe with
4.5 rating. Sometimes a book is almost perfect. If you're lucky it makes you feel and it makes you think. These damaged men found each other, and together they became the perfect balance. They became whole together, but also as individual who complimented each other. We would be so lucky to find a partner like that. This good book is a good read, one who will make you smile, make you laugh out loud shamelessly, sob and slobber to the point that I dropped my glasses, and then couldn't find them.
Well this was a hard and difficult review to write and unfortunately I will be one of the few lonely voices who had very mixed feelings about the sexual side of the relationship between Ethan and Carter. I am going against the tide of overwhelmingly positive reviews here. All because of one major sticking point, the disparity I felt between Ethan and Carter. The mental age of Ethan was a problem for me and quite disconcerting at times, I tried to see past the differences and also imagined Ethan
This is a very difficult book to review. I loved this book, but I was deeply uncomfortable about some aspects of it. Yes, Ethan is an adult male with adult male sexual urges. And no, we shouldn't treat people with acquired brain injuries like they are children, but having said that Ethan felt like a child. His speech, his mannerisms, his thoughts. He had a child's single-mindedness in wanting to be with Carter, which was lovely, but there is such a power imbalance in this relationship that I
