REVIEW:

I tried to like this book. I truly wanted to like this book. I’ve read this author’s work before and liked it but with this one, I just couldn’t get into at all. I’m not sure what it was about this book that didn’t do it for me. The characters felt disconnected from themselves and each other in a way that I found strange.

I get that the MC’s initial relationship was sexually based and that was fine but something felt…off with these two men. The feeling of something being off intensified as the relationship between the MCs progressed. There was no chemistry between the two. They had an intense sexual relationship and there was a great deal of sexual energy with that but this idea that it changed to something deeper just didn’t fly.

I don’t quite know what to make of this story and these characters. The book wasn’t poorly written at all. The technical aspects of the book (editing and such) were fine. It was just the flow and the…I don’t know—feel of the story didn’t gel with me at all. It was just very…mechanical. Almost as if they couldn’t really function beyond the sex. Nothing that occurred between these two men—outside of the sex  was memorable. This book reads like a memoir but with absolutely no depth or feeling into it at all. I didn’t get a sense of who these characters were; I couldn’t connect with them at all. And that’s a shame because I had such high hopes for this story.

It’s not bad book, it just didn’t resonate with me like his other stories did.
