You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian
4.5
I absolutely adored this sweet love story between two men navigating different sorts of grief.
It was such a pleasure to read about Eddie and Mark and get to know them on such lovely and personal levels. My favorite part of the book had to be the relationship the two young men formed with George. I'm a BIG believer in community care and that all we really have is each other. The love and tenderness shown in the way the men cared for George and the way George showed them warmth and respect in return just really warmed my heart, so much.
This was a great read and an excellent companion to We Could be So Good. To be totally honest, I loved this significantly more!

In Repair by A.L. Graziadei

Nathaniel is a character many people will find heavily relatable. Through the story, we know he is using his outgoing and at times obnoxious personality as a shield and his risky and irresponsible actions as a cry for attention. Knowing this, you cant help but immediately start to feel protective over him. I loved that this novel took such an intense emotional journey and showed us the results of years and years of repressing the truth, and how it not only impacts the person, but those around them. Especially the ones that love them most. I adored the friendships Nathaniel made as well as the rekindling of his friendship with Max. I didn't love some of the things Nathaniel's new friends said and did, but I do feel like those things were always addressed and that it is important to highlight the fact that even folks who have our best interest at heart can make mistakes, too.
If I had to change anything, I would have loved to seemore with Nathaniel's family, especially his parents. To be honest - until the very end they acted like total jerks. I hated how they were so dismissive of him as a person and it felt like even if he wanted to, they never gave him a space that felt safe enough for him to be honest.
Overall, I thought this was an excellent and important story.

I just could not get into this one, unfortunately. I think I just may not be in the headspace, so I do plan to revisit this at some point.
