Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
Format: ebook
I don’t think any other book has ever made me sob the way this one did.
This is a romance that is just so pure and good, which is nearly impossible to come by. But Davey and Jonathan were just so perfect for each other, and were so sweet together.
I was a bit hesitant with the writing style of this. Basically it’s written as David’s journal while he spends a few months with a distant family friend in South Africa after a mental health crisis. Everything is in his POV, and there were a few times that entries were very short or completely uneventful—but I wound up really loving the way the story unfolded.
I’ve seen a lot of people say the beginning of this story is boring because things progress very slowly between David and Jonathan, but I actually really liked learning about South Africa and the culture and people, and just Jonathan’s life in general. Jesse H. Reign is truly an artist, and she makes beautiful murals out of words. I could see the landscape in my mind and I loved every second of it.
The spice and romance were perfect. They were simultaneous hot and soft together. Just absolutely wonderful. But the angst and pining in this book was on another level. No one does heartache quite like Jesse does.
This is now competing with Romeo Falling for my top spot of Jesse’s work. I already know this is a future reread for me.
