This was a powerful story. It was both heartbreaking and absolutely gorgeous.

This story is about Theo and his life after losing his partner Ben. It shouldn’t be a shock to discover that Ben is a huge part of this story because without understanding Ben and his love for Theo, you can’t understand Theo and the effects the loss had on his life.

But the story is also about hope and new beginnings. It’s about learning to move forward and find space in your heart for another. Not to replace them but to join them. 

Part of what makes it such an incredible story, isn’t just that it makes you feel the emotions of the characters, but also that it makes you sit with external emotions. Namely, there are two really great men that help Theo see a life after Ben, but only one will capture his heart. There’s no cheating or malice, but I still hurt a little for him.

Con created a stunning character-driven hurt/comfort story that truly captured my entire soul.
