Atom Heart John Beloved by Luke Hartwell

I thought I was getting a complicated and angst filled love story of two young boys trying to find their way to one another. But the shit he pulls the last half of the book is unforgivable. What he does in this book in the beginning I could forgive him for. John our narrator is a self-aware and egotistical arrogant ass. What did I just read? A book with a misleading blurb is what I read. There be cursing ahead and I am not sorry. I hardly toss 1 star but if I am to be honest, I can't find a single thing to praise about this story. We get a reasonable pic of John, but who the hell was Natan? What about their lives? Interaction with family, school and friends? There was so much missing. I had a hard time trying to connect with the guys, and their story and I ended up completely detached from it all. I honestly don't know how I finished this book. I am here frying my brain trying to make some sense about John's narrative voice being one of the most unique in gay literature.

One of those moments where you have to read her same sentence twice. And we both know that even if I was the only one of us who wanted it, you couldn’t stop me.”Īt this point, I felt a Déjà vu of reading a Kristen Ashley book. And we both know you want to do it to me too. Well, I must be deaf because I can’t hear the uniqueness mentioned. The rancho beans here were loaded with onion, tomato and cilantro. I also loved variety, so I placed one order for taco de carne asada, one taco de carnitas, and one taco al carbon and a side of rancho beans. But when we did eat out as a family, we usually came here. We rarely ate out because the food at home was much better and of course cheaper and healthier. I felt sorry for my friends who had parents who could not cook good meals. Mom had taught herself how to make some Mexican and South American dishes, and she did a decent job of it. I just work for Dad enough to keep myself in gas and date money. He already knows just about everything there is to know, but it helps to be listed in the phone book as certified.

Matt is going to school part time now so that he will eventually be certified too. Matt works for him regularly now and will someday take over the business, I imagine. I haven't read any reviews beforehand, but I read the blurb and got super excited at the mention of 'Rainbow Award winner' which by itself was already enough to set this bar very high.īut that was not all, besides the 'Rainbow Award winner' mention, was stated, 'John's narrative voice is one of the most unique in gay literature.'ĭad worked for an established electrician several years before starting his own company.
