3.5 for the story / 5.00 for the narrationI've procrastinated writing a review for this because I loved so much about it but then things happened, narrative choices were made that flipped the story that was being told and I wasn't best pleased. But let's start with the good which was very good.When the book opens (post prologue) Tex is still reeling from the sudden death of his boyfriend, Memphis. It's been a year but Tex is doing the bare minimum to be counted as among the living. His grief runs deep and though both his and Memphis' family try to keep him going it seems to be a losing battle. He's resentful of anyone who even hints at the idea that it may be time to start moving on and frankly I can't blame him. Though they were only together three (3) years when Tex and Memphis met they discovered the yin to each other's yang. It was a beautiful and special thing.The author and the narrator are both NTM and though ultimately I had issues with how the story was resolved I wouldn't be averse to trying something else by [a:Maria Vickers 14174894 Maria Vickers https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1505401802p2/14174894.jpg]. The narrator, [a:Andrew Joseph Perez 21278682 Andrew Joseph Perez https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png], was a definite success and I'd unequivocally listen to him again. the rest of my thoughts on the blog & later here
