What the heck was the last chapter???? Excuse me while I go cry..
I loved this book. Declan and Julian are a beautiful couple. I loved their relationship and how Declan was with Julian and vice versa.
This was such a beautiful book about moving on from death of a loved one while still be able to remember them without the guilt.

*Takes a deep breathe*
****Highly Recommended Heartstrings****
Audiobook narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Tim Paige
Why read/listen to this book...
1. The Characters...
Deacon, a mechanic, is slightly estranged from his family after his younger brother Rhett dies of cancer. His mom especially hasn't been there for him and he feels left out. #INeedToBeLoved
Julian, Rhett's best friend and boyfriend, is struggling to move on after Rhett's death. The world is passing him by, while he stays in place. #ExistingIsNotLiving
2. The Relationship....
Deacon and Julian have never been friends. Deacon even feels jealous because his parents treat Julian like they should be treating him. Then one moment in time changes everything. It takes months for them to see each other again, but when they do, they feel the shift and let it guide them. #MyEyesAreFinallyOpen
3. The Romance...
These two men, who are both extremely lovable btw, go with the flow. There is guilt and sadness and hesitation because of who Rhett is for both of them. But what was refreshing about their romance is that they actually TALK. They work through their feelings. There is no big misunderstanding and an even bigger fight and/or breakup. They work and talk and move on and they are swoony AF.... *see glove incident* #EndlessFeels
4. The Heat...
Let me just say, that Deacon embraces his attraction to Julian and lets his instincts guide him. These men are hot together, romantic and sweet and sexy all at the same time. #SexyIsMyMiddleName
5. The HEA...
Let's just say, these guys are in it for the long haul and still Swoony years later. #ForeverAndEver
6. The Audiobook...
I am already a huge fan of Mr. Teddy Hamilton. His tone is one that just works with every character. It was my first Tim Paige experience though and I was pleasantly surprised....even more so when I saw his profile pic... Ahem. Moving on. His take on Julian, the inflections in his voice and the emotions he portrayed so well were a joy to listen to. #EargasmicNarration
7. The Cover...
I mean, have you seen the cover? #InsertDroolEmojiHere

I read this book knowing I was serving my heart up on a platter. It was sad, but I didn't constantly cry. There was a lot of growth that happened with Deacon. There is a happy ending that was beautiful. But then there was the last chapter. Just don't read the last 3 pages of the book, that broke me.
*soft spoiler*
The entire book I keep wondering how people can't/won't read the letters left by loved ones who have passed. Well that last chapter is one of the letters and it just made me sob buckets.

To be brutally honest: the cover of this book absolutely made me read it. I had no clue what I was about to read, I just thought it was pretty. And boy was I in for a surprise. I just finished the last pages and I don't think the crying will stop any time soon tonight. My heart has cried for Deacon and Julian. For Rhett. It's such a bittersweet book. This one is going to leave a lasting impression I think.
If you're looking for an emotional, well-written, well-paced MM novel, read this one. Grab some tissues. And yeah, the cover still rocks my world.
