Moment of Silence

5 Stars

I am the m/m lover of our blog, and I have read countless m/m books that are cliche and frankly boring. As the bisexual in the bunch I always look for a realistic, personal and specific touch in the struggle for acceptance of our community and this book was one of those where I cheered, and threw things at the wall when I was mad.

Here is the scoop: Quinn is trying to find himself before devoting his life to God, as in, he has one foot inside the priesthood and debating if he should land with his 2 feet. He has a gay brother, and a divorced one who got disowened - by frankly, a horrible excuse of a mother - for their life choices.

Quinn feels like he needs to save her and be responsible for her.

Until my man Jason happened.

He is out and trying to be proud. He is Jewish and his dad is a very well- respected rabi who disowned him when he found out he was gay. He is a hopeless romantic, but he is tired of falling in love with crazy, or with straights. He needs to give his heart a break.

But when he meets Quinn at the shelter for people displaced by their family because of their sexual orientation aka LGTB shelter, he can't understand why he feels so strongly for Quinn.

He also thinks for about 25% of the book that Quinn is straight, and let me just say his gaydar needed some fine tunning.

I loved learning about jewish culture, and I loved even more that as a bisexual catholic I completely could relate with many of Quinn's struggles and how realistic they are. The guilt trip is real with catholicism.

I absolutely recommend this book. It was one of my favorites for 2015 and I could not have asked for a better read to close out this year.

I cannot wait to read much more of your work.

Xoxo,
