Laurence has no issues with being with a married man, although he knows he most likely setting himself up for heartbreak. His home life didn’t allow him the opportunity to be who he really is and now his life is beginning to fall apart. William was also not a strong enough character for me to completely pull off this story. Right from the start, Rebecca was over controlling and generated zero empathy. But there is no spark for him and he allows Rebecca to control his life right down to the type of juice he’s allowed to drink at home. He feels safe with her and she is his best friend.
He’s been married to Rebecca for almost 20 years and they have two children. We get caught up on William’s life quickly and easily as the book opens. William cheats on his wife and, if that is a deal breaker for you, then this book should be a pass. The reason I selected this book to review is the same reason some readers will stay away from it-I wanted to see how the author would handle the subject of cheating. While he does love his wife, they way he loves Laurence is a completely different kind of love. Although it has to be a secret and William is truly conflicted. Spending days and weeks away from his family, William has the space to truly be himself for the first time. The moment William sees him, he knows everything about his life will change. He gets another job quickly, only it’s hours way on a movie set.Įveryone knows who Laurence Cole is. Their life becomes less stable when William loses his job as an electrician.
William admits to himself he’s not interested in intimacy with his wife, but he can’t say the words out loud. Twenty years later, William and Rebecca have two grown children and a fairly stable life. They married at 17, leaving William with no opportunity to explore what he knew he was feeling for boys. He met Rebecca when they were early teens and he felt safe and loved by her.
William didn’t know anything about love in his house, growing with his abusive father.
