The Shutout
by Dianna Roman
The shutout by Dianna Roman is a fantastic book in my opinion. Wholly cow I was blown away! It was such a roller coaster of emotions. I laughed so hard, cried so many times( happy and sad ), was on the edge of my seat in anticipation , and angry for jack and max so many times. Jack was max and Lainey’s next door neighbor and best friend. Then Lainey dies and for 3 years jack has supported max and his daughter Emma while secretly in love with max. When it comes to light that jack is gay and is extremely attracted to max. Max has to come to terms with so many things really,His grief over his wife, his sexuality, jacks sexuality, and the secret that was kept from him. I loved that we were able to be in max’s head while he sorted everything out the best that he could. I felt like I was with these two characters the whole time every step of their journey.
I just want to pay a little homage to Morgan, max’s sister, one of the best side characters ever. Also the title of the book is so perfect for this story. The only thing I would critique would be and maybe I just missed it but I never found out what happened with laney’s parents. In the epilogue everything was tied up neat in a great package but for Lainey,s parents. I could have just missed it. Not a big deal anyway it doesn’t take away from how incredible this book is. I absolutely loved it. Thank you Dianna Roman.
