I think I'll wait until a book comes out about the everyday people who just fall in love with a side plot or two. But I'm kinda done with this 'trope' of hers with all the drama. I enjoy the shit out of her writing and story telling. Everyone seems to 5-star the hell out of her books. It was just about the MCs with no big, dramatic, life-changing event. Honestly, my favorite so far was My Mate Jack.

It's like she needs this to be the foundation to create the story, and she doesn't, because she's so talented. And many more based on blurbs and reviews that I'm reading. Likely no one that you know of either.Īnd if this was one book that the author has written a story like this, no worries. Who does this happen to? No one that I know of. All of that was run-of-the-mill Garrett Leigh beautiful. The dual POVs beautifully showed both Jodi's and Rupert's pain as they grasped at what was missing in their lives and interactions with each other. I concede - it was written really well.Īs a nurse, a former Neuro nurse even, the medical parts were pretty fairly sketched out although - like I said - this kind of amnesia is so rare, I've never seen a patient with it, so I can't be entirely sure. So, not only does Jodi go through this horrific medical event. The event from this book, amnesia after an accident, robs Jodi of discovering his bisexuality and living the past five years of his life with his partner, Rupert. For some reason, Leigh likes to write about characters who go through monumental, happened to one-in-a-million, fuck with your head events. It just makes reading more relatable and I 3.

I'm 'ok' if a not-so-every-day side plot is thrown in there from time to time, but I just love it when authors can make magic out of the lives of you, me, our co-coworkers, cousins, siblings, crazy best friends, neighbors, etc. Reviewed by Jaime from Alpha Book Club View all 11 comments. There were some laugh out loud moments in this story along with some tear jerker moments - and watching Jodi discover or rediscover his sexuality was quite fun at times the lube, will never forget the lube and the discovery of his screensaver - I recommend this story to all looking for an emotional romance.
