REVIEW: Something About Us by Riley Hart
Sean Crisden couldn’t have done a better job with his narration of Lucky and Saint. It was so good. He captured the characters and the emotion beautifully.
This duology was fantastic. I loved both Lucky and Saint, and the conclusion to their story was both difficult and beautiful. It takes place after they’ve moved in together, but now they have to figure out how they fit together in the real world.
Lucky has left his home and family to be with Saint in LA. A world Lucky isn’t sure he fits into. Saint is happy to be home, at work, and with his friends. They try to fit their relationship into it, but it places an unexpected strain on them.
They both try for the other but at times they also don’t try enough, and other times try too much. Until they realize they don’t need to fit in with or fix the other. It’s themselves that they need to fix, love, and fit in with. The process is fraught with so many emotions, but in the end, they find their steady, and they learn to love themselves. Giving them the foundation from which they can build forever.
Stars: 5
Synopsis:
Falling in love was the easy part.
Lucky and Saint are head-over-heels for each other. It doesn’t matter that they met only a few months ago. It also doesn’t matter that this is Saint’s first real relationship and Lucky’s first with a man. They’re infatuated, happy, and excited to start their life together in LA.
It isn’t as easy as they thought.
Away from home for the first time and feeling like he has to compete with Saint’s experienced and cultured friends, Lucky is a fish out of water. Saint is still coming to grips with his recent loss while doing everything he can to keep Lucky happy. The only time things feel right is when they lock themselves away from the world—when they’re alone, everything is perfect.
But reality comes crashing back in to challenge them at every turn. Lucky and Saint need to learn how to stand together, as well as apart, if they’re to have any hope of making this last. They’re learning the hard way that “I love you” is when the real work begins.
