Village Fool by 'Nathan Burgoine
5.0
Village Fool is a lovely, MM novella about a shy guy and his way too sexy physiotherapist Toma.
I enjoyed this book. It starts with a prank Owen’s friend Felix play on him as he change his name with his trainer’s. Owen, who can’t really talk to Toma because he’s so shy, is sendind ”Felix” messages about Toma not realizing it’s Toma he’s actually texting.
The only thing that bothered me is that each chapter is from a different time. It’s jumping from past (4 months ago) to present and I had trouble keeping with that. The chapters are short, though, so it’s not a big deal. I also missed Toma’s POV. Referring to Toma as ”cubcake” all the time was also a little off-putting (my mind keep picturing him as a bear :’D ).
It’s a cute novella, a little mild for my taste (only kissing) but it was a good one. Just what I needed.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
