Life After Joe by Harper Fox
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Big Harper Fox fan here.
I wanted this novel to be longer, but I am thinking the intensity and compression is also what this story of love lost and found, redemption, and grief, is about. Matt has lost Joe, the love of his life. Joe gave him to have a wife and a child, a "normal life." Matt spirals down and, on the way down, meets Aaron, who seems to be a gift from the gods.
But, Aaron is quite human, and grieves his own lost love. The story is how these two find a way to love again with each other.
As with every Harper Fox novel, I am struck by the wonder of her details, here especially I was taken with the Kittiwake, the off-shore oil drilling platform where Aaron works, and the contrasting details of the personal spaces of each man. So very well done.
Highly recommended.
