Unknown Lover Vol.1

Rate this book
There was something about Anwarsome kind of pull that made refusing him feel impossible. And right now, I was caught in it.

"I dont get it. Why? Does it feel good?"
"Huh?"
"Does it feel good to talk to multiple people, to have sex with them?"
"Why are you asking?"
...
"If you really want to know how it feels, do you want to try it?"

I love that even though we see how hard and messy it can turn out to be to have a bedfriend kinda thing with someone, Anwar always wanted it to be consensual and soft for Blue.
To be honest, sometimes I wanted to punch him because I was stressed seeing him being so oblivious to his feelings, but at the same time, as someone who has never been in love, I felt a little related, so I ended up understanding him. I loved seeing Blue always putting his feelings first, always communicating, always putting limits and standing up, shows how sometimes when you are in love you cede not because you are less or do not know how to stand by your principles, but because you truly love the other person and want them to feel comfortable, warm and like they can rely on you. This book wasn’t something spectacular in terms of writing or innovation. Their peak was that it felt real, like it could happen to anyone in life. The problems the protagonists were through felt like real life experiences and I liked that. 

Pds. It had some spicy, I'm not a real fan of that.  It depends on my mood, but I have to confess I enjoyed these a lot. It might not be your thing, but it was mine for this book.

The way he said "I'm losing my mind just because I wanna love you, but I don't know how." is literally conclude everything in this first book.

"I'm losing my mind just because I wanna love you, but I don't know how."

Idiots in love.

Blue escapes to New York City after fighting with his dad and discovering his long term boyfriend, Peem, has been cheating on him. There he comes across Anwar, a mysterious and dangerously handsome man who immediately catches Blue's eye. While trying to gather the courage to break out of his toxic relationship, he falls into something even more intoxicating. A casual hookup with that same dangerously handsome man who just so also happens to be his housemate. As Blue learns the realities of entering relationship types he doesn't understand, he also learns that maybe what he felt for Peem wasn't really love.

Unknown Lover (2022) is an angsty, friends with benefits to lovers, romance that will leave you hooked until the final page. From the budding romance to the overwhelming emotional devastation, you'll either be screaming into your pillow or squealing into it. If you enjoy spice with plot, then this will be a nice read. Expect romance, found family, and healing as Blue and Anwar go on their journey to finding themselves...and each other.

Solía ver a muchas personas decir que esta historia es una red flag y hasta ahora no me lo ha parecido... Madura si, pero supuestamente red flag para nada, al menos no durante este volumen. Anwar siempre ha sido claro con sus intenciones y me parece bastante razonable que le joda no saber amar porque nunca lo ha hecho, tiene todo el sentido del mundo!! Mientras Blue queriendo algo más serio también tiene todo el sentido del mundo con su personaje.

Disfrute la lectura, no fue tediosa pero tampoco la mejor en cuanto a redacción (aunque debo tomar en cuenta que estoy leyendo una traducción de una fan al español de una traducción en inglés). Me gustaron ambos personajes y su evolución, estoy lista para el siguiente volumen y lo que depare.

me gustó al inicio pero siento que dejo muy picado a la audiencia y con muchas dudas al cierre .

también me hubiera gustado ver recuerdos de blue y su papá porque al fin y acabo ese también fue la razón para irse a nueva York

ตอนเราอ่านคนอื่นอาจจะอินกับคสพอันวาร์บลู นี่ก็อินแต่แบบเผลอเอาใจไปใส่ตัวละครเจมี่ นี่เลยแบบอาจจะไม่รู้สึกโกรธใครสักคนในเรื่องนี้

What I could say is....this story is simply amazing.

P.S. I do love everything in the pilot episode and wish the absolute best for the lead actors and the production team.
