Professor Feelgood by Leisa Rayven

5.0

This was so amazing. AMAZING. 6 stars! Heartfelt, raw and real. A beautifully written and well executed story. It feels like I went on an incredible journey and felt every single bit of emotion the characters went through. Absolutely brilliant.

Asha and Professor Feelgood were truly incredible. I loved learning about them, the connections, history, pain, and longing. They’re flawed and a little broken and there is so much tension and angst, it could be intense. It was extremely well executed. I loved the build of getting to know them, understanding their past and who they are. Their was just this pain emanating from them that I could feel and I knew underneath it all there was going to be something powerful and oh man it was worth the wait. This book resonated with me deeply, I felt it in my soul. The more I learned about them, the more hints I got, the more questions I had, the more I loved them.

The writing was brilliant, the story is told from first person POV and it was done exceptionally well. I was truly hooked, turning the page because I was consumed with wanting to know what was going to happen next and how it was all going to play out. I loved seeing the bits of foreshadowing of certain things while others caught me completely by surprise. I was guessing my way through this book, nothing was as it seemed and was not predictable at all. I don't know the last time a book kept me guessing until the end. This had one of the most amazing builds ever. I loved all the details, how the history developed when things were learned, and how it was all laid out. It was a wonderful slow burn romance. The poetry was captivating. There were a few lighter moments with some other really great characters mixed in rounding it all out.

It's crazy how much a book can affect me, how absorbed I get, lost in the story and characters. I don’t think there’s one thing Leisa Rayven has written that I haven’t loved, that hasn’t affected me in a profound way. I love being able to put my heart in the author's hands and just trust where it’s all going to go. This was just so much more than I thought it was going to be. It was just an absolutely beautiful story that I can’t begin to say enough good things about.
