Avi Cantor Has Six Months To Live by Sacha Lamb
5.0
This was absolutely lovely. Read for free here.
I loved this for a couple of reasons. The biggest was the very strong emotional connection that I felt with Avi, almost from the very first sentence of the story. He's a very wounded character, and for me, that always make me want to wrap that character up in a blanket and soothe them. Since I can't actually do that, I am left with simply reading obsessively.
The second big draw for me ended up being the romance. I thought it was incredibly sweet, and it just gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. Neither Avi nor Ian was perfect, but they were lovely together.
The magical realism element was another draw for me, surprisingly. Magical realism isn't usually my thing, but in this case, it added the perfect note to the story.
Lastly, I actually really liked the way that faith was such an important part of Avi's life. I felt like it added a lot of depth to his character, and was just a nice touch. I don't really see a lot of religion in my reading, probably because of my emphasis on fantasy, and I enjoyed it a lot.
