pickThis book ❤️ It got me through the past two weeks.
A gay romance set in New York in the 50s. There‘s fear and there‘s pining and there‘s love, so much love. I fell in love with the characters and the story. And I am usually really not fond of romance stories.
pickThis one had me at the Oscar Wilde quote in the front of the book. While it's a little superficial at times, the humor is excellent and tempered well with moments of authentic-feeling connection. I enjoyed laughing out loud and then tearing up, and I appreciate what Rowley has to say about the role that acting can play in giving one the opportunity to feel, explore, and express difficult emotions in a controlled environment.
That look every cat gives to anyone who attempts to make them do anything (even if it‘s something they actually want to do).

Since I‘m currently on an Alexis Hall kick while I wait for the final two audiobooks of the Ruthless Desire‘s series to come out sometime this month (hopefully), I guess this is the next logical port of call.

pickThis was so much more tense this time around. I don‘t know why. I guess I forgot how close to the end it was before things were okay again. Still, I loved spending more time with Luc and Oliver, and I‘m not so patiently waiting for their final book next year.

I truly adore this list… and adore, even more, that Oliver came up with it… then added two more items at Luc‘s request… then added an extra bonus item because he could.

If there is one thing you can count on with an Alexis Hall book… it is absolutely pristine snark! 🧡🧡🧡

pickA devastatingly sad but fiercely life-affirming book about an 18-year-old whose only family, the grandpa who raised her, dies the summer before she goes away to university. It takes place alternately in that summer and the Christmas after, where Marin's best friend/ex-girlfriend travels to her dorm to try to reconnect after Marin's grief has wrenched them apart. Absolutely beautiful, no notes. #QueerBooks #LesbianBooks
This is 100% legit! Her other four are a little different. The back pillow does sound nice, though.
