You & I, Rewritten
Ratings8
Average rating3.8
This book was quite different from what I was expecting. We have a MM romance that flows easily throughout the book and avoids some of the common tropes and tensions of the contemporary romances while touching important mental health issues.What I liked about the book:- The romance flows easily, and we don't have a break up or major discussion on the third act.- The book mentions several important topics: Alcoholism, child abandonment and PTSD. Albeit these are difficult topics, it is still possible to write something positive including them.- This is a very personal debut and I think [a:Chip Pons 22154287 Chip Pons https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1647061630p2/22154287.jpg] was very brave to be so open and write it.What I think it could have been done better:- The romance felt a bit too insta for my particular taste- The third act felt unconnected to the rest of the book.Recommended for contemporary romance readers.
I don't know where to even begin. This book moved me in a way that I haven't been moved in a long time. It was truly unlike any romance I've ever read, and it doesn't fit the typical formula at all. I loved it so much, and I need everyone to read it right now so I can have people to share in these feelings with. This story follows Will, a man who is starting a new job with his bestie, Klair, at a publishing house. On his first day of work, he meets Graham swoon. The friendship between Klair and Will is the definition of found family, and they are truly friendship goals— hilarious banter included! This book is a workplace romance with exquisite tension and spice. The romance between Graham and Will is so incredibly sweet, I just love them and their love so much. Their consideration for each other's feelings is so evident in the way they speak to each other— despite their grumpy/sunshine introduction. The twist... gosh the twist I never saw coming. I haven't cried in a book in so long, but this book did me in. I was so incredibly moved by the gravity of the story. You can tell as you read that the author is deeply connected to this story and how it is told. I love being able to feel the author's connection to a story while reading it— it's just something so special. This is an adult contemporary romance, 18+ for sexual content, themes. Check the trigger warnings because there are some heavy themes. Thank you so much, Chip for sharing this story with us. I know I won't be able to stop thinking about it for a while.
