Seven Days by Andrew Grey

kristinafh's review

4.0

I've only recently begun to do a deep dive into the m/m romance department and Andrew Grey has become one of my favorite authors in this genre.

This particular book interested me because of the Catholic Church being in the forefront of the plot. As someone who was born/raised Catholic and who attended Catholic school, I was definitely interested in how a scandal could play out in this genre.

I wasn't disappointed! I very much enjoyed how the main character - Evan - handled himself in the end...and how he found peace.

What are the seven days in your life that shaped you the most? That is what this book is all about. It is a brilliant look at the seven most important days in Evan's life. Most books would have seemed choppy, jumping from day to day over a long period of time, but it flowed seamlessly. The circumstances that shape Evan are tragic and all too real and Mr Grey didn't shy away from the frustration that most of us feel about that entire situation. This is really a story of how the simplest thing can turn your life around.

This could have been a 5 Star book. I liked the premise of 7 life-altering days. I loved the main characters, both their strengths and their weaknesses. I loved that Evan was able to make a life for himself full of love after such a horrific beginning.

What I didn't like was

Spoiler

the handling of a religious brother's sexual abuse of Evan.

It was too close to the reality that religious institutions have perpetrated on our children and it made me angry and ill and sad. There is so much that I want to say but it would take pages and pages, and honestly this isn't the right venue.

The mc is kind of an ass. I just could not connect to Clay and felt no real chemistry between him and Evan.
