TW// grief, cheating, loss, death of parents Because hey, I gotta stay positive every once in a while. And with the frankly unnecessary melodrama being the cheese on top- if I was lactose intolerant, that is.īe it as it may, when it comes to this writer’s future releases…įingers, elbows, knees and toes crossed. So who knows, maybe she will somehow create another gem I can safely enjoy instead of trying to rip my hair out of my scalp while recalling the protagonists’ infuriating antics. I continue to refuse to give up on the author, however, knowing I actually quite liked her characters and debut novel once upon a time. While I didn’t downright despise this as I did After Rain Falls (I will forever hold a grudge against that story and no, I will never shut up about it), it was still far from a pleasant experience. Overall, this was my fourth C.E Ricci book, and the third I haven’t exactly adored- to put it mildly. Too bad I’m not known for my self-preservation.Īnd believe me, that hurts to say just as much as this hurt to read. Running for the hills started to seem like the healthiest course of action then.
The book really lost me with the “son gets disowned after stopping a hate crime” ( I wish I was making this shit up), followed closely by the “MC wishing he could fuck the other guy while their braindead parents laid right beside them in a hospital room” (it’s a mouthful, but an accurate one). This was 440 pages and that was 400 pages too long for me. The review could just be this gif and still be accurate. ⭐ 1.4 “this might be titled head above water but I was out here wishing to be waterboarded” stars ⭐️ *Head Above Water is a STANDALONE full length MM enemies-to-lovers stepbrother romance novel.* So how am I supposed to keep my head above water when I’ll eventually lose him too? He’s become more than a brother or a lover. In finding solace together, we mend what once was broken. It’s something I’d do well to remember, yet when he stays, it’s so easy to forget. Straight, engaged, and with a seemingly perfect life on the other side of the country. Still, he’s always been my greatest desire. I’m helpless, with no way to swim back to the surface.īut fate is crueler still, bringing my stepbrother back for the first time in years.Ĭannon never wanted this family. It’s like weights tied to my ankles in the middle of a raging ocean. Then a twist of fate hits me out of nowhere, and I can barely keep from drowning.
I’ve never battled with the raw, debilitating pain that comes with it.
