I’ve loved M.L. Broome’s book since I first came across A Series of Moments three years ago, and I’ve been waiting for this new release with bated breath. Broome never disappoints.
The characters, Lexi and Sam, leapt off the pages and completely consumed me. Their tale of friendship that grows into something more, replete with the terror of giving into those feelings and possibly ruining a brilliant friendship is exquisite and immensely fulfilling. Harry from When Harry Met Sally sure got it right: men and women can’t be friends without the sex part getting in the way, but Broome adds “who ever said it was in the way” sex is part of it and when it’s right, it’s beautiful. I love the emphasis on knowing the other person and loving them for who they are before the sexual aspect develops. Both are so incredibly important for a meaningful and stable and long lasting relationship.
Additionally, I admire Broome’s strength in honoring women who have suffered abuse. She does so with candor and overwhelming respect, and that moved me. Yes, this book made me cry. But in a good way. They were tears of relief and joy that Lexi could finally learn to love herself thanks to having Sam in her life.
If you want a roller-coaster ride with all the feels and honestly some of the best steamy scenes I’ve ever read, what are you waiting for? All Broome’s books are amazing.
