I’m usually skeptical of insta-love situations, but if every author wrote them as well as this, I’d be thoroughly hooked on the-for lack of a better word-trope. ![]() The language is harsh and real, and it feels more genuine for it. There are themes here that are bound to bother some, and yet, they’re rendered so evocatively that they’re a necessary part of the story. From the best of them to the worst of them, they were well-crafted, fleshed out, damaged, and spectacular for it. ![]() ![]() Let me say that again, because that’s astounding to me: I loved every character. Godgluck goes for it, and he goes for it so aggressively that I found myself loving every single one of the characters. Their flaws are hidden rather than highlighted, and I think that in most cases, this leads to cases of missed opportunities. Many authors seek to almost exalt every single one of their characters. Their struggles define them and their relationships with other people, and in some cases it leaves them stronger. These characters are flawed, each and every one, and they are beautiful for the marks and scars life has left upon them. Godgluck manages to transcend-and defy-the expectations of what romance is, and he does it with such artful skill that I found my breath taken away more than once. I’ll start by saying that this isn’t a typical love story, but it’s a love story all the same. ![]()
