oooof this moved me. alexis hall has proven to be a hit or miss for me, especially with the previous stories in this universe, but goddamn

this was emotional and heartfelt and breathtaking!!! the characters were so complex and tragic and beautiful for a shorter story and i very much felt their chemistry and love even for such a whirlwind romance. they each grew so much as characters separately and together. and their dialogue alone had me crying several times from how beautiful and complex it was. i wish this had been one of the longer books !! it very much gave sad gay art movie vibes but with a HEA and character growth that we never get in those movies! can’t wait o make will read this one

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Chasing the Light is a bonus novella included with the new release of Waiting for the Flood - which is an AMAZING story btw. CTL is actually a little longer than WFTF, and it is just as beautiful, and the two go perfectly together.

Marius and Leo are both wonderfully flawed characters and their story is so sweet and tender. And there is lots of humor.

Really loved this.
