Even though it this book seems to be Waiting for the flood and a novella, chasing the light seems to be even longer than Waiting for the Flood.
Waiting for the Flood is so whimsical and warm, with both MMC being lovely, just poor Edwin lacking a little bit of confidence but finding it and finding himself and love.
Chasinf the light was the complete opposite, I just don’t understand why Marius can’t stop being terrible, for no reason, even when he knows he is terrible, and even more unbelievable is that people keep trying with him, it got repetitive but it did pull some strings at the end for me as I do love Alexis writing.

there wasn’t much to this story. just a handful of chapters so we couldn’t really get to know the characters well. i think they had a lot of promise though. the premise of their stories was really interesting and i think they could’ve had GREAT chemistry with a lot more fleshing out, but the length just made it a short little tale. i liked the characters, but they needed more everything. i think im reading too much Alexis Hall back to back right now though tbf
