I don't normally write reviews for books but this one was extraordinary enough that I felt I had to. At 700 pages, I wasn't really sure what to expect, but it was a book that immediately pulled me in. Brandon and Nicholas are two early thirties, wildly famous singers with a rocky personal past together. Nicholas has been violently attacked and is recovering in the hospital. As Brandon waits by his side, he decides to write the story of the past ten years so that Nicholas can know what happened and understand why Brandon has acted the way he has. This begins a series of extended flashbacks that take us back to Brandon and Nicholas' first meeting when they were both in their late teens. Normally, flashbacks are tedious but the author wields them so well, you almost prefer them to the current day story. Slowly the flashbacks (full of angst, tragedy and midtwenties love) bring us to the present day mystery of who has been trying to kill Brandon, Nicholas and anyone who attempts to help them. And the author does an AMAZING job of maintaining the mystery until the absolute end. When I found out, I was completely blown away, but then it made sense looking back at the story.Honestly, I don't feel like my review does this book enough justice. I'm already about to click on the link to buy the next book in the series. I hope you enjoy the story as much as I did!
