Review: The Guy on the Left

The Guy on the Left by Kate Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

All the FREAKING stars!

“There’s no story if you give up.”

I never imagined I would fall fearcely in love with a story where the heroine is older than the hero. That thing was a No No for me until Kate Stewart broke that rule and made The Guy on the Left one of the best 2019 books.

Clarissa and Troy both made unforgivable mistakes but those mistakes and those imperfections brought a love so messy but so raw and real.

“Wanting this woman is torture. Loving this woman is fucking humiliating. This shit has to end, but lately, I can’t seem to breathe without the air scraping the rawness in my chest. The hurt only fuels my anger. I’m drowning in resentment, teetering on the brink of love and hate for her. All of that effort, everything I did to earn my family, was for nothing.”

It's because of such stories that I'm so in love with books. Thank you Kate Stewart for making me fall in love with a character I thought wasn't worth loving.
