This is the sequel toTalkerand it tells about Tate and Brian's love story after they got together. This time it's Tate's turn to tell their story. At the end of the previous book Brian decided that Tate needed counseling and we see Tate trying to cope with his past, especially the Worst.Date.Ever. The writing is clipped and fast as I imagine Tate's talking is and it's disconnected, taking unexpected turns, following Tate's mind and his recollections and denials.Tate's memories are something that he wants to hide and bury, but he has to relive them and call them what they are, he has to give facts their proper names in order to really own his life and make it better, not only for him, but for his lover too.It was very interesting to be in Tate's head, to learn everything about the hows and whys of his outer appearance and to see how Brian's love changed him and gave him courage. Talker never ceases from being too fragile, too naked in his emotions, but we see how he rebuilds himself, how love makes him stronger, even if not fearless.I'd really recommend to read this book and its prequel one after another. I hope there will be something else about them in the future, just to see if they're all right. I care.
