Adam & I
To see our interview, click here!
Pros: this memoir has all the ingredients for a heart tug! I was intrigued on various levels from the nomadic lifestyle Tommy (MC) lives, his dream of settling down (isn't that what we all want?), and the lengths he goes to honor both. The faithfulness he has to these things kept me locked in at all times. The distance, deceit, and devotion this book has makes it unique, as I've never read one quite like it before!
I thoroughly enjoyed the character development the most outside of the plot itself. It appears that everyone has a place, as does every scene, and it's stitched together in such a way that I felt I was processing Tommy's emotions with him as he was. It was another, "just one more chapter... Yeah right!"
Cons: if you've been manipulated, lied to, or cheated on in past relationships, you may be a bit uncomfortable, as all these things are things you'll run into. They didn't bother me, but they did increase my empathy and understanding for those who are involved in such cases.
Conclusion : this is a book I would gladly own and recommend to anyone who is looking to expand their empathy, witness significant growth from a person who's actually experienced it, and who is also enamored with big romantic gestures, such as Adam is known for doing.
