“You make me feel like anything is possible when I used to wish I wouldn’t wake up in the morning.”

This book has a lot of feels, not all of them good. It's about two men who have both experienced a great loss and because of that are lost themselves. I'm talking these two are barely hanging on. They each have no one to confide it, keeping their grief bottled up as it slowly eats away at them.

That slowly starts to change when they find each other. Suddenly Enzo and Damon have someone who understands, someone they can talk to about all their guilt and dark thoughts without feeling judged. These two men help each other start living again. They grow incredibly close as friends until a kiss makes them both realize they want more.

This is a double GFY (which just happens to be my favorite trope). Neither have even felt an inkling of attraction to men before. However, neither have they felt this type of attraction/need for any woman they have been with either. The bond between these two goes deep. They help heal each other, but both come to understand they need some outside help too if they are ever going to truly be better.

Although being inside Damon and Enzo's head was quite depressing and sad at times, you could really feel the melancholy of their lives. You rooted for them and hoped like hell these two found happiness because you just wanted their suffering to end. This is not an upbeat read, but it is a good one. Life isn't always fair and it doesn't always turn out the way you thought it should.
