More Me with You

De: Alex Bertie

Narrado por: Harrison Knights

Will is in Bristol for a brand-new start. He’s got his outrageous flatmate, Emma, his job at the bookshop and he’s totally infatuated with Gus. A French Bulldog. An actual relationship with an actual man seems about as real as the science fiction novels Will stacks on shelves all day long. And then into his life walks Ben.

Ben is all the things Will isn’t: confident, charming (bordering on cocky), popular, a Jiu Jitsu champion, and generally deflecting life’s problems as easily as dodging a clumsy throw on the mat. Whereas Will comes out in a rash at the thought of public speaking, he’s been too way nervous to try dating apps and he’s let his social life go stale since he moved to this big beautiful city.

What starts as unfriendly rivalry grows into friendship and then blossoms into something more…and soon Will and Ben are bonding over their shared love of comic books and loaded burritos. Will feels like he can open up to Ben in a way he never has before. Except…there’s one truth Will doesn’t know how to share. How will Ben react if he knows? It’s time for Will to come out with it, even if it changes everything…because the most important person he needs to be true to is himself.

✨Earnest and Charming✨

No, the way this was adorable and fresh!! It’s also a little bit of a Halloween novella! And completely unrelated it made me crave Mexican food SO BADLY. I’m always impressed when novellas can make me feel so much in such a small amount of space, and this was no exception. I saw on Twitter that this was the author’s first piece of fiction, so I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more!

I really enjoyed the slice of life we got because Will was such an awkward cinnamon roll!! Ben was also a cinnamon roll. It was just so sweet!! I teared up when Will talked about how transitioning saved his life :,) it’s such an earnest little snack of a novella.

I do wish their relationship would’ve started a bit sooner, rather than some of the failed dates etc. I think they could’ve been summed up in a paragraph or two so there was more focus on the main couple!! It would’ve picked the pace up a smidge and solidified the quick pace of the romance. Even then, it’s such a quick listen that I can’t complain.

*There’s no steam and honestly no space for it so I didn’t mind.

Great story!

I loved the characters and the love story was so sweet!! I enjoyed it thoroughly!

Sweet

So tough in that one moment that, for better or worse, you throw caution to the wind…and face that fear that will determine…if you are love able…enough.

Sweet Love Story

I’ve been a fan of Alex for years. Love that he’s now writing. Looking forward to his next book - this one was just such a lovely read.

Lovely, sweet, and real
