They Told Me I Was Everything by Gregory Ashe

4.0

***4.0 rating***

"He could feel Theo watching him from the porch all the way to the end of the street; when he turned onto the main road, he heard from a distance the thunk of the door shutting. Auggie walked another block until he was sure he was safe, his eyes burning hotter and hotter, and then he pulled out his phone and placed a call."


Well, here we are with another GA book and series. Theo and Auggie, another slow burn, another rollercoaster of emotions. This was a great first book in the series, I am excited and prepared for what I am sure is more angst, tension, and another rollercoaster of unwanted emotions. Having read the first batch of Hazard and Somerset series, I am familiar with GA and his superb writing. This man gets it. He engages his readers deeply with the plot and you are invested in the characters and their turmoil.

I liked both Auggie and Theo, I understood why Theo friend zoned Auggie but my heart hurts for my cute little influencer. Auggie was at times annoying but he was a sweetheart and well Theo had a lot of baggage to jump into a relationship with a guy 10 years younger than him.

I was here for all the angst and drama. The mystery was interesting but it was on the light side. I just want to wrap sweet Auggie in a big hug. Nobody puts baby in the corner. I want justice for my Auggie. GA damn your fab writing, I am hooked. I'll be reading the next book...now. Good day.
