A review by gillianw
For Real by Alexis Hall

5.0

I loved this story so much. The relationship between the MC's, Toby and Laurie, is real and raw and heartfelt and you can't help but fall in love with both of them, even when they resist falling in love and truly trusting one another. The relationship never seems unneccesarily angsty, though, which it easily could have been given the subject matter. Because this book is more than a typical love story. It's about two flawed, lonely people throwing aside society's expectations and finding their way towards loving each other and loving themselves. It's just so beautiful.

I'm listening to this on audiobook (again) and *sigh* it's just as lovely the second time around. I love Alexis Hall's words. He makes BDSM sound like poetry in motion.
