We Were Never Lovers by Sasha Avice

5.0

5 stars
Sasha Avice delivered the most beautiful MM romance with the amnesia trope I've ever read.
It's a work of fiction, of course, but it felt so real: all Sean's confused emotions about his new reality, the struggles over the sensation that something is missing, his conflicted feelings toward Jack, they were very wonderfully written.

And Jack, oh poor Jack who stood like a rock against all the hatred, sarcasm and lack of trust Sean kept throwing at him; while I was reading, I could feel his pain because the man he loved didn't remember him and the devastating truth that he couldn't confide in anyone, because, for the rest of the world, they were just best friends.

I admit I know nothing about First Nation people and I'm glad this book gave me the chance to get to know them a little.

The end was beautiful, knowing Sasha Avice's style I wasn't expecting that, but I obviously adored it.
I hope she won't make us wait long for another book.

Highly recommended.
