I’m not sure how to explain this book without giving so much away.

This book is told from Jake’s POV. Jake was a Marine vet. He had dreams of becoming a documentarian. He was also going thru life kind of numb. He had always felt that was just the way he was. He definitely had some trauma relating to his parents, specifically his mother but we only got snippets. He was a genuinely good man but something was holding him back

Once he met Roe, his world kind of opened up. Roe brought so much energy and enthusiasm. Their friendship was such a wonderful partnership. They truly complimented and balanced each other.

There was this kind of melancholy undertone to the book that gave me a sense of impending heartbreak. While not spicy, the emotional connection was intense.

I received an ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
