Because I Need You by Avery Duncan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Because I Need You (ARC) was graciously provided to me by the author for an honest review.
“Love’s Emotional Journey”
An absolutely heart-breaking, emotional, thought-provoking, heart-warming story about two men, who are unknowingly desperate for personal human contact, as a result of very different reasons, who find themselves opening doors once thought of as ones considered to be permanently closed. I absolutely loved the beautiful and heart-wrenching journey of the two main characters, Ellis and Aiden, as they made personal discoveries that wound up being life-altering for them both. It was such an incredibly emotional read of this journey both had taken through their individual loss, pain and sacrifice.
Even though the plot and pace for this storyline was smooth and addicting, I had hoped for more development in these particular areas, and while there were a few times when this reader was a bit confused with the writing, whether it be due to the British vernacular or with the writing itself, with the smattering of typos, there were a few times when I had found myself scratching my head in confusion. As there were also a wide-range of secondary characters in this story, they were all written pretty well and had piqued my interest for reading more of not only the main characters but also of the secondary ones as well, thus, it would have been beneficial for more depth to the characters as well as more depth to the overall development of the plot.
That all being said…I really loved the storyline and never knew how gorgeous of a theme it would have been prior to reading. Because after all..it could not have been more true then what it actually had been indicating..and, I absolutely loved it…:)
