This book!! I have so much to say about it but I’m exhausted and my mind it jumbled from the back and forth sobbing and smiling I did the last 40%! All I know is I hope everyone picks up this book when it’s released on 3/7 and gets to experience this incredibly beautiful and heart wrenching story and fall in love with Alexei & Ben as they fall in love with each other 🥰
This is a book about love in all forms at its core. Love of yourself and figuring out who you are and where exactly you fit into the world but at the same time as realizing that you don’t have to change yourself to fit, you’re perfect exactly as you are! It’s also about falling in love when you least expect it and making mistakes along the way but making up for it and finding their way back to each other no matter what. It’s about finding a family, even if it’s not the family you expected.
This was about two guys that had very very different experiences in life and came from vastly different backgrounds but they both had trauma that they needed to work through. Alexei with religious trauma and dealing with having to walk away from his family. It took him until he was almost thirty to realize that he had to be true to himself and even though he knew his community and family wouldn’t accept him, he learned to put himself first. And along the way he found new family but also realized that he didn’t lose everyone from his past life. And Ben with his relationship trauma and feeling like he lost so much time with the people he loves. Having to deal with heartbreak after heartbreak but still putting himself out there again and again. I just loved these two so much and being on their journey was difficult at times but it was also beautiful and made me really happy! 🥰
