Invitation to the Blues
by Roan Parrish
This was such a beautiful, emotional love story, and I'm shocked that I had never run across/heard of it before. I just happened to find the audiobook on my local library's website and snagged it...I'm so glad I did!
The author has an amazingly balanced way of writing descriptive and atmospheric -- it was there, but not overly so to the point of being flowery and bogging the reader down. Kudos!
Jude is a man who is rebuilding his life after trying to commit suicide. He abruptly leaves his job as a pianist, his gaslighting (and low-key abusive) partner, and the home he had made in Boston. He struggles greatly with his self-esteem, which fuels his depression and anxiety issues. When he meets Faron, a model-esque artist, he feels he isn't worthy of Faron's attention...but luckily, Faron learns how to deal with Jude, and helps him deal with some of his more dramatic mental health issues.
