A review by mnimismemory
From the Universe to Me by Scott E. Garrison
5.0
I was given an ARC of this book for my honest review. Now that disclosure is out of the way, let’s get to the story.
This review is going to be a bit different from how I usually post. Normally I would put little jokes or emojis to express how I felt about the book. But not this time; this book deserves more than that. This novel touched me in a profound way…as I never had to go through what the main character experienced but it was as if I was there. The fear, the frustrations, the pain of trying to be who you’re meant to be…not what was expected.
This book to me was about how the main character, Tobias Gavin was navigating his life while questioning his sexuality while dealing with fear of whether he would be accepted. Now he does meet people in college that he does feel connections with but I don’t want to spoil any part of this story. Back to the point…Tobias needs to learn how to deal with the hurt he has buried deep before he can even have a chance to find happiness, to finally have some peace and maybe even the love of another man.
This book I gave 5 stars. I teared up at a few parts because I know there are so many people in the world experiencing this and even now as I write this review. This book should be read especially for those people. Also you should read the acknowledgments at the end because by me reading it; I realized why I felt connected to Tobais. It’s because the author Scott Garrison injected part of himself into the words on the pages and there’s truth in the writing.
I leave you with this:
Remember you never know what a person is going through…Be Kind. ❤️
