The Call Is Coming from Inside the House: Essays by Allyson McOuat
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.

I don’t think I am the target market for this. 
The writing is not bad but it is falling a bit flat. I’m not sure I see the relevance of some of the pop culture references and it feels like the author was using them as a way of preventing focusing too much on her own life

The Broken Lines of Us by Shia Woods

One of the best romance books I have read in a long time! I loved the balance of romance and plot tension. 
I am overly invested in these characters, would love a book about holly

This book perfectly captured the challenges of moving away and the intertwined feelings of relief and guilt.

**I was provided an ARC in exchange for an honest review**

The writing of this took me a little bit to get used to and the nonlinear writing was at times a little disorienting but once I was used to the writing style I really enjoyed it! The lyrical prose and interweaving of the characters dreams and hopes was really well done 
The author gave me some real insight to the experiences of gay men in Syria and the identity struggles that are encountered as a refugee. 
Overall really enjoyable
