Beautiful & Terrible Things by Riley Hart

5.0

My first full length of 2021, and what a book it was...

****Spoiler Free Review****
****Highly Recommended Healing****

Why read this book….

The Characters….
- Joey aka Jojo: Innocent, ambitious and shooting for the stars. He was gay in a town where he couldn’t be, but he had his rock… his best friend Gage. #YouGiveMeStrength


- Gage: He was the hero, wanting to save anyone, especially his Jojo. That is what ultimately changes the course of their lives. #AnythingForYou


The Plot….
An epic love and a heartbreaking 10-year separation, followed by reconnection, relearning and forgiveness. This book has it all. You’ll smile, cry, laugh and cry some more. It is truly terrible and beautiful, in all the right ways. #TrueToTheTitle


The Romance…
From the innocent tentative love of their teenage years…. to the healing, intense love of their adulthood. It was a love like no other, a romance written in the stars. #IAmWhatYouAre


The Heat…
Progressed fluidly from fumbling and sweet, to sure and carnal. #MyBodyBelongsToYou



The HEA…
Hard-earned, after years of pain, separation, vices and mental healing. They overcome their demons and become stronger together. #Inevitable
