Fever Pitch by Heidi Cullinan
5.0
“Everybody has somewhere they fit in. We just have to look hard to find it sometimes.”
I went into this novel with the attitude of ‘this will never be Love Lessons.’ In a way, I was right. Aaron and Giles’ story was nothing like Walter and Kelly’s. Their hurdles were different, and the things keeping them apart were unique to each of their own personal situations and struggles. The only similar elements were fantastic quotes, crappy parents, and of course Walter Lucas.
As Heidi says in the introduction, Walter refuses to be silenced and plays quite an important role in this novel. He’s a sort of fairy gay-parent, if you will. It was fantastic to see how the characters from the first novel were doing; especially Kelly.
Enough about my babies from [b:Love Lessons|17853573|Love Lessons (Love Lessons, #1)|Heidi Cullinan|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1366984277s/17853573.jpg|24990932], now let’s talk about the precious dumplings that are Aaron and Giles. Giles gave me so many feels I literally had to take a break from reading occasionally to emotionally recover. His story hurt my heart. I know *Lonely Hearts* is going to slaughter me, but this book definitely hurt me. Aaron’s story was hurtful as well. I’ll refrain from too many spoilers, but Aaron’s dad made Walter’s mother look like a model citizen. I whittled a spoon into a shiv while reading and planned on stabbing his father throughout the novel. Sadly, fictional men aren’t tangible. Otherwise, I’d have many boyfriends and many victims.
I cannot express how much I adore Heidi Cullinan’s writing. Her writing is flawless, her characters are perfectly flawed, and her stories may be depressing and heart wrenching, but they always have happy endings. Heidi even has a note in the back stating why her stories always have HEAs. I know there’s a time and a place for darker endings or even mediocre endings, but knowing the ending will be happy is refreshing.
Overall, this is exactly what I want and need from New Adult novels. Perfect read for fans of Heidi’s, NA romance enthusiasts, and of course, fans of a good story in general.
