Klune|5073330|T.J. Klune|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1546275989p2/5073330.jpg] tells a story. His writing style is wonderful, and I need to read more of his work.
There is so much packed within these pages. There's love. There's joy and family and grief. There is so much grief, and pain and tears, which on more than one occasion were my own. There's self discovery, acceptance, and betrayal. Really, I did not see that coming. There's green marshmallows and sunrises and ticklish spots and sunglasses and kisses and sex and hand-holding and-
-I just love these two, so very, very much.
My only criticism is that it felt too slow in places. I like build-up, I like having all these little details because that creates tension and intrigue. However, it felt like there was too much detail in some places, that it made the book feel like it was dragging on, and I got bored of reading about it at times.
Please, though. Don't let that put you off.
If you're just the slightest bit intrigued, then read this book.
I highly recommend it.
"This is at once the end and the beginning.
This is the story of my love of two men.
One is my father.
The other is a man who fell from the sky."

He makes me buy a pair for myself as well, the same as his.
We look like idiots".
