Storm Clouds and Devastation by Ashley James

5.0

This is Jules and Bodhi's love story. It is also very much about Bodhi learning to love himself, work through his trauma and demons, and to feel okay in his own skin.

Bodhi has been dealt with a card no person should endure. He believes his past is behind him and is in control but that is tested when one of his clients happens to be his high school best friend's dad.

I love the way Jules never gave up on Bodhi and not only told him but showed him that's he is loved, valued and cherished.

TW/Tropes

Severe mental illness, heavy suicidal ideations, abuse and sexual assault of a minor, sexual assault, bullying, death, drug use, eating disorder/ disordered eating, fatphobia, and homophobia.
