Love is cheap. Love is cruel. Love can’t save us.
Victor Lang had everything—looks, money, fame. A chance to become the greatest swimmer in history. Until a failed dope test brought him crashing down.
According to the rumors, he turned into a recluse, a drug addict, a whore. Broken beyond repair. Incapable of love.
And for some reason, he’s set his sights on me.
A freak accident in his pool throws me into a world of wealth and status and people who are willing to do anything to get what they want. Before I know it, I’m being paid to fly to Italy and pose as his boyfriend. Trapped at his side, I learn what it means to truly hate someone.
Turns out, that’s exactly what he wants.
I can’t save him, and I can’t love him. But as things fall apart and I discover the truths he’s hiding, I learn that hate can be greater than love—an obsession, a prayer, dark days and darker nights, a need to be the only one who hurts him. Hate can heal the worst wounds love leaves behind.
But I have problems of my own, a broken spirit and loved ones to protect. And I’m scared to face the things he’s waking up inside of me.
A gritty, emotional, epic hate-to-love slow burn with an inexperienced top and his bratty bottom, hurt/comfort, obsession, and healing.
**Contains dark themes, adult content, and potential triggers, including (potential spoilers): sexual abuse (off the page), suicidal ideation, drug abuse, disordered eating, trauma, death, mental illness, homophobic language

En smule langtrukken med hovedpersoner der sikkert vokser gennem den smerte de føler, men efter at være nået halvvejs, har jeg giver op. Deres emotionelle angreb mod hinanden og i visse tilfælde manglende medmenneskelighed… det er for meget drama for mig. Den er okay ish skrevet. Har klart læst bedre. Men dramaet og den langsommelige start på historien og den manglende indsigt i karaktererne og hvad der driver dem, særligt Victor. Var nok til at jeg til sidst blev en DNF. Derudover er oplæseren mere middelmådig end god. Men hvis man godt kan lide drama og “mystik” uden at man får viden om hvad der der gør ondt fra start af og hvorfor. Så er det måske en okay bog at læse.

SÅ GOD! virkelig dyb og dyster til tider, men også dyb på en god måde. tror forholdet mellem de to hovedpersoner kommer til at blive hos mig i noget tid. virkelig godt skrevet, helt poetisk til tider. for mig var bogen slet ikke for meget drama eller angsty, vil faktisk sige, at handlingen er slow burn. vil klart anbefale!
