"Your absence isn't quiet.
Sometimes it is the loudest thing on Earth."

What an amazing debut novel.  
Within the first couple chapters I was hooked and couldn’t wait to see what happened!

I enjoyed the story and reading each POV’s. It made understanding both Jules and Liam more interesting but also it made it more relatable. 

Having lost his husband (James) a year ago Jules is still grieving and learning how to live again. With the advice of his sassy friend Nora, Jules decides to take a leap and he messages James’s old number unaware it’s been recycled to a new owner. 

Liam is tired of bars, one night stands and hangovers but he’s starting to feel lonely. After receiving an anonymous text message he decides to text back. 


I found this book such a pleasure to read. Dealing with grief in a sensitive but also in a somewhat beautiful way.  There’s times when it felt light hearted and I’d chuckle at the jokes and awkwardness to the characters but there was also times where it was emotional and heartfelt. 

I’d really recommend this book if you like good writing, sweet second chance M/M romance and with interesting characters….Also weird jokes about produce and an angry fat cat named Fishsticks. 😂👏
