Overexposed by Megan Erickson
4.0
Oh, my heart!
Ever read a book that just squeezes your heart from the get-go and doesn't let you up until the very last word? That's what a Megan Erickson book does to mine every single time. In fact, it happens so much that I know I have to mentally prepare for the onslaught of heart-rending emotions before cracking any of them open.
I have to admit, I was not sure I was going to like Thad much as he remained so distant and curt in the beginning that I wanted to yell at Levi to stay away from him. Then Levi would verbalize my thoughts and I'd continue reading, watchful and wary through the first half of the book.
Then suddenly the inciting moment happens and the idea of these two not ending up together flies right out the window.
Because the book is told completely from Levi's POV we share in his frustration of falling for a man who's not only quiet but reserved. Strong but needy in a way that's a tad creepy at first but truly beautiful as the story unfolds. Erick son's masterful storytelling leads the reader through the stages of grief so perfectly that you don't realize it until you've completed the journey.
"The kids was rainwater and want, and all the words Thad wasn't capable of saying."
Beautiful story you don't want to miss.
