Tommy Cabot Was Here by Cat Sebastian

4.5

Review:

Short, clever, and ridiculously sweet! Cat Sebastian is terrific with quotable lines that get right at those things you’ve never been able to verbalize. 

Tommy needed a drink. He also needed a nap, and possibly to lie down on that hideous carpet in his living room and stare at the ceiling and cry. Nobody had told him how much of his late thirties would involve lying on floors and crying.

It’s a horrible thing, choosing between loving yourself and letting yourself be loved by the world, and even worse to have to make that choice when you’re young and desperate for approval.

I want to love you when we make mistakes, and I want to love you when we don’t know what to do.

Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 4.5: Better than great, an undeniably enjoyable read, but not quite life-changing. Doesn’t feel like it’s glaringly missing anything, but there is no je ne sais quoi that would make it hauntingly good.

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🔺2.5: A little tingle (A few explicit scenes, but short and not very detailed)

Perspective: third

Tense: past 

POV: dual
