Description

Steven's life changes forever the day he discovers his childhood friend and lifelong crush, Ryan Walters, standing in his bedroom. The problem? Ryan Walters committed suicide just days earlier. Ryan tells Steven that he didn't kill himself. He believes he was murdered and that his death is linked to an article he was working on for the school paper. Steven sets out to solve the mystery, but as the story unfolds, so does Ryan's secret life of sex with guys and depression. Steven realizes suicide is more plausible than Ryan's conspiracy theory, but he struggles to convince Ryan of the real cause of his death. And despite revelations of his friend's closeted life, he must face the truth that Ryan doesn't—and never will—love him.

Steven's life changes forever the day he discovers his childhood friend and lifelong crush, Ryan Walters, standing in his bedroom. The problem? Ryan Walters committed suicide just days earlier...


Advance Praise

"I usually shy away from YA stories. I think it’s because I’m not into teenage angst, or I never think I’m going to relate to the characters. That being said, I’ve recently read a few YA books that were phenomenal, and this was one of them." - Lynn at The Novel Approach

"...the passion and the ability to make you want to turn the pages in Devon McCormack’s writing, whether adult or YA/YA, is very much evident here. What I really love about When Ryan Came Back, and I do love it, was the characters, how they are teenagers, not some caricatures of what teenagers are supposed to be." - Kazza at On Top Down Under Book Reviews

"I loved this book. It had the ghost, the mystery, and a nice love story. It kept me guessing (as I state above) until the resolution and it ended better than I could have anticipated. An outstanding book and highly recommended." - Cindi at Greedy Bug Book Reviews

"Mr. McCormack develops, once again, characters that are real and honest. Steven’s reaction to Ryan’s appearance is not one we find everywhere, he is terrified and also curious; but mostly scared out of his mind. What I want to say with this, is that the feelings the main character express are genuine and believable in a way that makes him real." - Joha at Littles Books
