Empty Net

i've finally learned my lesson: skip companion novels and just read the one in the series you like the sound of!!!!!!

this book was lovely, and everything i needed and didn't even realize. it really feels different reading a book written by a queer author as opposed to a straight one. it hit different, it just do.

it was also such a breath of fresh air to read a mlm sports book where the sport itself was actually talked about AND the narrative tension wasn't homophobia (not that that's not real and can't be written well, it is, and can, and has been, but i can only read so much of it before i get well and truly depressed) and i loved the soft and strong unfolding of these two. it surprised me in it's realness and i loved that. anyway this was very nice and a good surprise because i really needed it and am having a hard time getting into any books at all right now. ty for your service avon gale.
