Review: Too rushed!
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 08 18, 2012
I liked the story well enough. I just couldn't connect with the characters at all. I think what spoiled it for me was that everything felt too rushed. First, if Matt was so distraught about losing Joe, who he's been with for 6 years and known from childhood, to the point of a suicide attempt, how can I believe for a moment that he has fallen in love with Aaron so quickly. And if Aaron's loss was of such magnitudes and so recent that he speaks his dead lover's name in his sleep and still keeps his emails, how could he have fallen in love with Matt. It was just too unreal for me. If it would have taken place throughout a year I would be overjoyed with happiness for them.That said (which is why my rating is 3 stars), the writing was good and the emotions expressed on the page were overwhelming. The characters were developed enough for me to get a glimpse of them but the story felt hurried and the ending just flat. In my opinion, it could have been a 5* book with just a few adjustments.
