Show Me Wonders
by Riley Nash
Show Me Wonders: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Riley Nash (Water, Air, Earth, Fire, #3)
“You’re my reason.”
Ollie fell in love with Jax in the midst of a horrible tragedy, where he wasn't sure if he was even going to make it out alive. But now, it's been years and they both did make it out alive, only Jax has hidden demons of his own chasing after him.
Tropes:
– Opposites attract
– Second chance
– Hurt/comfort
– Single dad
– Found family
Riley Nash can do no wrong. This book was so good. I enjoyed every second of Ollie and Jax, the sweetest, most wholesome yet unconventional pairing ever. They are so pure and don't seem like they fit but they do in the best way. Part I of this story had me so intrigued and on the edge of my seat because it was such an interesting premise that I had never read before. I was really sitting here stressed out. Then, the letters and the reptiles and the bike rides and Megan and everything about their story was just so angsty yet perfect.
I think the thing I love about Riley Nash books the most is the way they show domestic love. Like, not always the big, huge, grand gestures (though those do exist and are very swoon-worthy) but the smaller, silent ones like Jax setting up their date outdoors for the agoraphobia or Ollie's wallpaper or any number of things. It feels like an attainable kind of intimacy with someone while still maintaining that overwhelming, head-in-the-clouds, epic feeling of love. I don't know if that makes sense (probably doesn't) but it's the best way I can describe it.

Spoiler
I will say, when they didn't recognize one another once they had met for the second time I wanted to yell at them but watching them fall in love again was just too pure to not love as its own entity as well. I felt the same when Jax wouldn't reply to the letters and when they had the second two-year separation because Jax was on the run, but the way they reunited made up for that.I think the thing I love about Riley Nash books the most is the way they show domestic love.
