Oh, boy. This book. I literally FELT every single emotion during my journey with Leo and Ryder.
I have a deep understanding and kinship with Leo; a plus size man in a world of fit and trim people that look down on the physically different. How buying new clothes is extremely difficult and not something I ever choose to do. Hiding away from the world when all you really want is to be seen and loved for who you are and not what you look like.
Ryder, new to town and embarking on a journey he's been needing his entire life, is enthralled by Leo from the first glance. Or is it the first time?
The two men feel as if they've known each other for years, that they're each other's missing piece of the puzzle. But what happens when Ryder's past comes to town and drives a wedge between them? Can they survive and find their way back, or is Ryder's "secret" too big to overcome?
I don't frigging know because it ends on a cliffhanger and I'm not okay 😭😭😭 I need the next book STAT!❤️💙💜
I received an ARC from the lovely author in exchange for my honest review.
