Thanks to my friend Todd for recommending this book and then hounding me mercilessly until I read it. The last chapter had me smiling through tears. Carter is self-conscious about his tics and doesn't like to be noticed.īut Ethan gets Carter like no one else, and the two make glorious music together. scared of falling and being left behind, scared of feeling exposed. It takes him so long to come round to Ethan's advances because he's scared. Ethan is SO enthusiastic about sex one word: butter.Ĭarter never treats Ethan like he's less. This is very much a slow-burn story, but there were plenty of kisses and sweet moments (so many heart-melting moments!) that had me hugging my Kindle.Īnd when Carter and Ethan do come together, it's pretty damn hot. The scene in Los Angeles with Ethan on stage was the best, as were the "flowers" Ethan scattered around the bed to woo Carter. I adored Ethan's loving family, including his willful teenage brother Elliott, who was such a nuanced, complex character his boss Vera, who could kick ass at five foot nothing Carter's boss Alice, a true friend who got Carter's talent and Ethan's friends at the caravan, who embraced weirdness and owned it. But Ethan is starlight, and he brings Carter right into his orbit. Carter is most comfortable at home, away from prying eyes who would judge him because of his Tourette's.
He has so much charm, and he accepts people as they are. He has no impulse control and sees things in black and white, but the way he takes joy in things, the way he sees the beauty, the MUSIC, in Carter's tics, is amazing.Įthan is a man, a man who suffered a traumatic brain injury, but still a man, perfectly capable of making his own choices.Įthan draws people to him.
