REVIEW: Touch the Sky by Christina Lee and Nyrae Dawn
Touch the Sky was a compassionate and moving story of love, friendship, and accepting yourself. It was a tight ball of emotions from the very beginning to the very end.
These two guys have been dealt some pretty crappy hands, past and present. When they reconnect, there is no denying their feelings or the bond that they have but is that bond enough to overcome their struggles? Struggles which include guilt, loss, and mental health issues. It’s a lot for two young men to have to overcome.
These two fantastic authors handle it all beautifully while creating a very tender and passionate story of very real love that requires taking care of yourself so that you can take of the one you love.
This was one of the more natural feeling stories I’ve read. Especially the emails back and forth as teenagers. As someone who came of age when the internet came to be, I can tell you this exactly how things went. Discovering friends online that you would write back and forth with, half dairy; half lifeline. And boy those letters felt exactly like the ones my teenage self wrote with my friends.
Stars: 4.5

Synopsis:
Lucas Barnett and Gabriel Stewart didn’t have it easy as kids. They were only trying to deal with bad situations at home when they became lifelines for each other. Their pipe dream was to someday meet in LA, where Lucas would design skyscrapers, and Gabriel would learn to fly. But then Gabriel disappeared without so much as a goodbye, and Lucas got himself in trouble with the law.
Five years later, both men are at a loss when they run into each other at a Hollywood bar. Lucas is still angry, but it’s not as if Gabriel could control how his mind and body had betrayed him. Being found on the ledge of that bridge had changed everything.
The attraction is immediate, but it’s more than their inability to keep their hands off each other. Neither man expects the fierce connection pulling them together. Unfortunately, ignoring their problems doesn’t make them disappear. Gabriel’s internal struggles are serious…dangerous. And no matter how much Lucas wants it to be true, saving Gabriel won’t make up for not being able to save his mom. If they don’t find the strength to face their own demons before the darkness takes hold, they risk more than just losing each other forever.
