Liebestrasse by Will Dennis, Greg Lockard

2.0

I found this one frustrating. While parts of the story were emotional, I was annoyed by how in the first half of the book, all the same-sex intimacy we see is literally holding hands. Philip and Samuel will be in bed together but never close; one of them is always just leaving the bed. By the time we see a kiss, they've already said they love each other. Isn't that backwards? We only see real intimacy as things are about to fall apart. And maybe that was deliberate, but this story just felt regressive and like I had seen it played out better and with more emotion elsewhere.
