A review by smadronia
Vespertine by Indra Vaughn, Leta Blake
3.0
Another gay male romance. They're like popcorn for me. This one involves Nick as famous Nico Blue, the guitarist and song writer of Vespertine, and Jazz, Father Jasper, a Catholic priest. When they were teens, they had a relationship, which ended badly. Now Nico's hooked on drugs and nearly overdoses. After time in rehab, he comes home to his parent's house to recuperate. He meets up with Jazz, and as you'd expect, there's baggage and unfinished business, so it's a rough start. It gets better.
I liked this better than Aftercare. Most of the book is Nick and Jazz repairing where their friendship went wrong, and becoming better friends. There is a relationship aspect to it, but the book's probably 70% over before they get there. It's nice to find a book that's not sex from the second chapter. However, the book's only okay. Enjoyable, but doesn't stand out, so I only give it 3 out of 5.
