What Readers Say

When I first decided to share Mom, Dad... I'm Drowning , I had no idea how deeply it would resonate with others. What started as something very personal has become a shared experience with readers who see parts of their own story in mine. Every message, every reaction, every quiet thank-you reminds me why I wrote this book. Here's what some of you have said — and it means the world to me.

@writebookreviews

“I was deeply moved by this book. The story was a genuine heartfelt confession”

Sofia

“This book is a powerful and deeply moving account of the lives of many gay individuals who are struggling to find their identity. From the very first pages, the author grips the reader with a rare blend of sensitivity and raw realism. A truly impactful read."

Yiota

"Ilias doesn't write only about pain. He writes about courage too. This book is a tribute to the strength of the human spirit- to the deep yearning we all have to be ourselves, whatever that may mean."

Christina

“This book is not just meant to be read. It's meant to be thought about. To spark discussion. To make us all a little better.”

Nektaria

“Ilias manages to truthfully and tenderly illustrate the mental pain of a young boy struggling to live without masks in a toxic environment. Orpheus, the main character, becomes our mirror, reminding us that love and acceptance are a right for all, not a privilege of a few. This book had me crying."

Nikos C.

"Once I started it, I didn't want to let it go of my hands. It has infinitely social messages that concern the whole world. It's flawless This book worths million stars"

Eleni

“It is a heart-wrenching journey that stays with you long after the final page. It beautifully explores loss and resilience, leaving you with a mix of sorrow and reflection.”
