Jimmy and Marc make an adorable couple. Jimmy's kindness and clean-cut cuteness radiate out of him like light. Marc, although a bit older, complements Jimmy with his humor and his openness to love. But between them, a dark secret lurks, one with the power to destroy. See, when Marc believes he's meeting Jimmy for the first time in the diner where he works, he's wrong. Marc has no recollection of their original encounter because the wholesome Jimmy of today couldn't be more different than he was two years ago. Back then, Jimmy sported multiple piercings, long bleached dreadlocks, and facial hair. He was painfully skinnyâand a meth addict. The drug transformed him into a different personâa lying, conniving thief who robbed Marc blind during their one-night stand. Marc doesn't associate the memory of a hookup gone horribly wrong with this fresh-faced, smiling twentysomething⦠but Jimmy knows. As they begin a dance of love and attraction, will Jimmy be brave enough to reveal the truth? And if he does, will Marc be able to forgive him? Can he see Jimmy for the man he is now and not the addict he was? The answers will depend on whether true love holds enough light to shine through the darkness of past mistakes.… (mer)

This novel brought me to tears a few times. Not surprising. This is the third novel of Rick Reed's that I've read and each one of them has been packed with visceral emotion and well-developed characters. Honestly, I'm running out of good descriptive words for how fabulous I think Rick's books are. His voice is a truly important one in the world of LGBTQIA writing.

Again, these are NOT Gay romance novels. These are "own-voices" novels. They have such authenticity about them, it's remarkable. The characters have so many dimensions and they are always flawed ... just like everyone is. These are characters that I want to get to know. I get angry at them. I find myself wanting to know more about them. Whenever I get to the end of one of Rick's books, I find myself wondering if there's another one. This is a voice you don't want to miss.

In this book, two men need forgiveness. They both need to leave something behind them in order to move forward. Sometimes, it's truly difficult to manage to continue to put one step in front of another when things keep smacking into us. Rick really captures the monotony, fear, excitement, relief, and exhaustion of recovery. At the same time he manages to allow the reader into a world of intimacy between two souls... it's captivating. ( )
