A review by becksgoesbookish
Hold Me Under by Riley Nash
5.0
I’m honestly still not even sure how to write this review because this book was so gut-wrenchingly emotional nothing I write in 5-10 sentences will be able to convey that properly. I’m sure part of that is from the incredible audiobook narration by Michael Gallagher &Theo Sinclair but I'm even more certain that it all stems from the raw and poetic writing from Riley Nash. This was my first Riley read and to say I am now a fan for life is a major understatement.
My bookish friends know I usually keep things light with my reads, and never go for too much angst, but I will forever and always throw those rules right out the window for a few authors and right now Riley is at the top of this list.
At its core, this book is the gritty, painful, and healing story of two broken souls, that have been failed over and over by the systems and people around them, who are thrust together via romance book tropes (fake relationship anyone), and find something beautiful together (codependency who? don’t know them)
I loved every single second
