Entertaining, trashy fun.

Revisado: 04-20-21

I will preface this review by saying: I found these books because I am the biggest fan of The Song of Achilles, and I thought my love for it could go no further... until I downloaded the audio version and met my new obsession: David Thorpe.

I couldn't get enough of David's reading voice. For the first time in my life, I looked up a *narrator* and selected my next read from those options. That is what lead me here.

The writing is a solid C. It's not bad, but it's definitely not good either. I keep comparing it to a bad fanfiction that was not beta-read.

But the plot? Predictable and trashy, yes, sure -- but it also felt like Eva March stole my dream journal and wrote the perfect story for me. It's my FAVORITE flavor of trash. Oliver is sweet and as comfortable with himself as one can be, given the time period. Vincent is a closet case with a head filled with highly problematic, homophobic ideas. They find each other and things improve from there.

All in all, if you can handle cringing through way too many tropes, poorly chosen adjectives, and wholly misused British sex slang, to see through the flaws of the writing and enjoy the plot and characters... then, I recommend these books.

Did I mention DAVID THORPE reads these? Though, to be fair, I'd be happy listening to him read the phone book.

Loved it.

I loved re-living sixteen years of the show through this oral history, though it made me sad all over again that it's over.
