Moving On


Book Title: Moving On

Genre: M/M contemporary short story

Literary Nymphs reviewer: Rose Nymph

Brandt loves Graeme with all his heart, always will and he knows Graeme feels the same way. They had 5 wonderful years together before circumstances out of their control intervened and now all Graeme and close friends Jason & John want is for Brandt to be happy. A Halloween party seems the perfect opportunity for Brandt to take the first step in rebuilding his life, supported by the people who love him the most. Mark, the hot guy clad in the purple pimp costume also seems more than willing to help but does Brandt have the courage to move on? Can Graeme find it in his heart to let him?

Moving On is a Halloween short that really delivers. Written from Graeme’s point of view, the sense of sadness at the situation is palpable. A heartbreaking situation dealt with sensitivity and maturity. However, the pursuit of happiness is a powerful incentive to move on and I was hooked from start to finish. Well-defined characters that elicited an immediate response and a satisfying ending leaves me with no option but to highly recommend this to any fan of the genre.

You are more than welcome! Least I could :) Thank you for inviting me into Graeme & Brandt's relationship. You made me wipe away tears while smiling at the same time. And do you know how hard it is writing a review without spoiling the twist? Lol, I thoroughly enjoyed it, so thank you :)
