It certainly revolves around romance, because the relationship between Mark and Billy is front and centre, but it’s so much more than that! It’s about addiction, how it affects a person and how it keeps its hooks in that person, through the choices it leads you to make and their aftermath.
Billy and Mark’s budding relationship is heavily affected by addiction, and the book has a sombre and foreboding tone in many aspects, you can’t help but wait for the other shoe to drop.
I loved David Allen Vargo’s performance. It was my first time listening to this narrator, and I think he did a really great job portraying the range of emotions the characters shift through.
