"What if love isn't something you remember, but something you choose?"

A man who, according to his mother, is his fiancé.
As Jamie struggles to piece together a life built on forgotten memories, Caleb is left holding the future they planned together and wondering whether love can survive when only one person remembers it.
Drawn together by a connection neither of them can ignore, Jamie and Caleb must navigate grief, hope, heartbreak, and a chemistry that feels just as undeniable as it did the first time they fell in love.
Told through both the past and present, The Way Home is an emotional MM romance about memory, healing, found family, and discovering that home is not an address, but the people who stay by your side when life falls apart.

The sweetest comfort amnesia trope I’ve ever read!!
The sweetest comfort amnesia trope I’ve ever read!!
August 28, 2026
I don't normally read amnesia tropes and I specifically dislike books that also take place in the past but it was fine here, the past was only for a short while then we got to the present. And the present was heaaavvvvyyy, I was a mess of tears at some parts. 🥺
The love Caleb had for Jamie felt so tender and powerful, beautiful really. I felt so strongly for both of them and what they were going through, I wish they would have talked about where they stood with eachother and their fears a lot sooner just because I wanted them to stop hurting. 🥺
I also found myself liking the side characters, I was pleasantly surprised at the group of friends and I'd love to see JB get his own book.
Unfortunately the book didn't feel lighter towards the end, it continued to feel heavy even after Caleb and Jamie had gotten to a good place, Caleb had to deal with some rough times.. it was wonderful to have Jamie take care of Caleb, and Jamie planning to do something for Caleb that would make him feel truly loved and truly erase all the fear Caleb had developed about their future after Jamie's accident ONLY FOR THE AUTHOR TO COMPLETE SKIP AHEAD 3 MONTHS INSTEASLD OF GIVING ME THAT SCENE? I wanted to see all of Caleb's elation and I didn't get to witness any of it. I'm still so annoyed after finishing the book.
I'm supposed to be left feeling warm and fuzzy from such a beautiful story but i'm just annoyed at what I was teased with and then denied. 😒 Speaking of teasing and denying, I skimmed a lot of the sex scenes because I wasn't in the mood to read them, I much preferred their tender and loving scenes 😌
This probably would've been a 5 star read for me going into my favorites had the story continued instead of jumping ahead those 3 months at the end. I really needed to have Caleb's reaction to feel closure from a lot of the painful moments Caleb experienced. I really did love their love for eachother and since this is the author's debut hopefully they'll be able to continue to convey their future MCs love for each other with each book to come, i'd just like to not be denied important moments in the story next time. 🤞🏻
Anywhoo, 3.5 rounded up because i'm still annoyed but the MCs love and obsession for eachother is too good for me to feel right about going any lower despite my annoyance 😂

This was a hard read.
I was honestly so excited to have a MM romance book with a black MMC however, the lack of black cultural representation, and the lack of actually describing Caleb in detail in comparison to Jamie, made the book unbearable to me.
The story all in all was OK, but I couldn’t even concentrate on it because of the portrayal and description of Caleb, the black MC was just such a mess.

I’m a mess, this book was so sweet and so sad. It broke my heart and put it back together in the best way. Caleb and Jamie deserve so much happiness, some of the best characters I’ve ever encountered.

Review of an Advanced Readers Copy received by Author
Starting off I want to mention that the memory loss trope is completely new to me, so I wasn’t sure what I was getting into and hoped that I wouldn’t completely hate it before going into it.
And the thing is, I didn’t hate it at all. I very much enjoyed it actually.
Meeting Caleb and Jamie was a breath of fresh air. I really loved both characters and their personalities, both had their own charms and unique traits that ended up fitting together like a puzzle. When Jamie suffers a life changing injury, the memories of his life with his fiancée Caleb are gone. Despite this, Caleb never gives up on Jamie, he continuously does everything he can to help Jamie overcome all the obstacles placed in his path even when his own life seems to be in chaos. As they work to get Jamie better, the two fall back in love and the love story begins again.
I loved all the tender moments in between the uncertainties, the fun moments with the side characters, even the scenes that could have gone wrong but didn’t. All in all, I really enjoyed Take My Hand.
For all you spice lovers, don’t worry, this book is rife with hot spicy scenes too!

what an incredible debut novel. i loved watching them fall in love the first time and would have remained fully engaged even if the main plot hadn’t happened because of how much i fell in love with these two and how they felt about each other. it felt right that their wasn’t a twist moment at the end where jamie got his memories back though i wished the ending had slowed down and been expanded a bit more.

It was well done

I wasn’t sure how I would feel about memory loss but this was written just right! True love conquers all and it wasn’t repetitive, the story moved along which made sense even though nothing made sense to J (LOL)! Thank you Megan for allowing me an arc read!🫶🏽

DNF @ 24%
Loved how sweet Jamie and Caleb's first time together was. I usually hate it when the MCs have sex very early on the story, but really really liked how the story managed to weave in romance with their first hookup. Caleb being caring and calming Jamie down was super sweet and showed a great amount of sentimental connection that went perfectly with the sexual attraction. Them spooning and sleeping over right after felt a bit fast (though, the characterization was enough of a justification to keep it from feeling instalove-y)
Perhaps I was feeling less critical or this book caught me at an easy-going time, but even the whole "There was something about him" line that usually makes me insta-DNF a story wasn't quite so bad here when it first came out. Caleb suddenly getting hung up on the first cute British dude he hooked up with + got to know seemed justifiable to me when I read it.
Jamie's quick infatuation was entirely believable considering Caleb was the first man to actual show him emotions beyond just horniness.
Not a fan of the one month timeskip though. Jamie had been shown to be anxiously resistant to the idea of actually going on a date with Caleb, so we should've seen how they both navigated that issue. What convinced Jamie to say yes? Why didn't Caleb give up after the initial rejection/mixed signals? Just "There's something about him I want to take care of" doesn't really justify continuing to pursue someone who literally sent multiple messages giving excuses as to why he couldn't go out for something as casual as coffee. Yeah, Caleb knew that Jamie had recently come out of the closet and was inexperienced, but we should've seen Caleb use that and factor it in to whatever romantic equation he was solving as opposed to "Here's coffee even though you're being super flaky" AND we should've gotten more than a single scene showing us Jamie reconsidering.
Caleb's friend going "Damn, you must really like him" was sort of emblematic of this issue because we literally hadn't seen a reason for why Caleb had such strong feelings for Jamie at that point. It was fine during their first hookup because we SAW Caleb and Jamie interact to justify their actions. Having a month timeskip immediately followed by "I REALLY like him" is a lazy way of conveying romance. I read books to SEE a story play out, not have it be swept behind a timeskip forcing me to fill in the gaps myself.
I wasn't really a fan of the way the book was formatted. Amnesia stories tend to work better for me when the MCs' shared history is revealed to us as the amnesiac MC begins to remember. Seeing the past chapters as flashbacks entirely separate from Jamie's recollection took away from the emotional payoff had we learned about it at the same time he started to remember.
I called it quits when there was another timeskip two weeks after Jamie woke up and found out he had amnesia. Why did the author choose to pass over such a critical time period? We should've seen Caleb's shock + how he handled learning that Jamie didn't remember their time together in that time frame. We should've seen Jamie come to and be confused over the time he didn't remember beyond just the very first time he woke up in the hospital bed. It should've been set up before any sort of timeskipping happened. What? Are we also expected to fill in the blanks about how the characters dealt with the incredibly odd situation? Why did we just get a summary telling us that Jamie was confused rather than showing us how he handled that confusion to establish a new status quo with the dynamic between him and Caleb (and his family)?
TL;DR: A bit too insta-y, but my main issue was the amount of timeskipping over (what I consider) important parts of a romance. The first few dates and both of Jamie and Caleb's actions when Jamie woke up should've been shown. 2 stars.

Review of advance copy received from Author
First off, thank you so much to Megan Storm for giving me an opportunity to read this arc!
I stumbled upon her Tiktok account one day and i will be forever thankful! I have had the absolute pleasure of becoming a Beta reader for her and I am SO EXCITED for the rest of the world to meet Jamie and Caleb!
Jamie and Caleb first meet in a pub after Caleb moved from Ohio to London to be an assistant athletic trainer for a women’s soccer team. He went out with the team after practice one day and little did he know that outing would change his entire life. When the women’s team gets recognized by a few bar patrons Caleb quickly goes on defense incase anyone gets rowdy. He felt eyes on the back of his neck so he turned around and made eye contact with Jamie from across the pub. Caleb immediately knew he just HAD to introduce himself! These two have some of the best chemistry. We see their relationship grow and unfold for the next few years getting glimpses into their lives (and these two are ADORABLY IN LOVE.)
Flash forward after Jamie’s tragic accident the two of them just had their entire world’s turn upside down when Jamie gets diagnosed with retrograde amnesia and doesn’t remember life before coming out, he only remembers meeting Caleb at that Pub.
This story is about how two people can overcome life’s biggest curveballs and conquer their greatest fears. Caleb’s resilience to winning Jamie back and trying hard to make him fall in love all over again and Jamie’s perseverance to recover from his accident and work through his anxiety. It really did take a village to help these two out. Jamie had his sister Pippa, his mother, his ex girlfriend Ellie, and his French coworker JB (one of the absolute best side characters). Caleb had his sister Tay and all of the women on the soccer team’s support. These two created such a found family and carved out a beautiful life together.
This book had me crying, laughing, and swooning, all within a few pages. It’s been a privilege to see how far Meg has come and I’m so proud of her! Easily one of my favorite books.
Now here are a few of my favorite quotes from the book,
On Jamie falling in love with Caleb again,
”How could he not love Caleb? Looking back, he’d been with Jamie through the hardest few month of his life. He was patient, sweet, kind, and he made Jamie feel…brave. He’d been brave before Caleb in some ways, but being with him made all the small things-the moments he felt all wrong-go away. Jamie felt comfortable existing and taking up space. Because he knew Caleb would be by his side to catch him if he fell.”
On the two of them reminiscing on the early days of their relationship,
“Jamie wrapped his arms around Caleb's middle. “Remember what you asked me that day?” Caleb chuckled. "I asked if you wanted to be my roomie. And you said—" "I said, 'That is not how to ask a man to move in with you!" "Well, you said yes, didn't you?" "Of course I did."
And on bravery when Jamie wanted to try and return to his old life before the accident,
“Caleb's excitement about Jamie coming back to London was palpable in their tiny foyer. He looked like he wanted to scoop him up and toss him in the car. It made Jamie want to be brave enough to take this next step.”

ARC Review
Did I scream with all the air in my lungs at the prologue. Yes!!!! The way it ended had me saying ‘no, no, no, no, no.’ Then we start Chapter 1 and my heart hurt knowing what was going to come even if it wasn’t straight away.
Within the first few chapters we watch Jamie and Caleb slowly build their relationship and as awkward as it is. They had me giggling and kicking my feet in moments. The patience Caleb had with Jamie melted my heart it was so precious and beautiful.
As they start to get more comfortable with each other Jamie slowly comes out of his shell and Caleb sees a side of him that he adores. Then the accident happens and it changes everything. Before I go any further, I want to admit that the memory loss trope is one I tend to stay away from because it’s my biggest fear.
Watching Jamie struggle to come to terms with the fact he can’t remember certain things and the emotions that come with it was heartbreaking. Not to mention the interactions between him and Caleb. It was painful to watch in parts especially when you could see how much pain Caleb was in, seeing the man he loved look at him like a stranger.
This story not only shows how memory loss can affect the individual but also those around them. Even with all of that, parts of it felt so special. The found family in this helped mend my heart after watching how much pain both of these characters went through.
Jamie and Caleb are a beautiful couple and regardless of the memories being there or not they proved that love will always find a way to lead them back each other. Witnessing them discover their love again after the accident and growing even closer was amazing to see. The pain and sadness the accident caused was still there but each of them learned to understand it rather than be burdened with it.
I absolutely loved these two. The way Jamie helped Caleb when he needed him the most toward the end had me smiling so hard my cheeks hurt. I will say that one thing that made me a little annoyed was that I didn’t get to see a certain thing that was hinted in the last chapter. I would have loved to see it and certain characters reactions but even without it I still loved the ending. Maybe got a little emotional reading the epilogue.
This was a story I couldn’t put down once I got into it. One I know in the future I’ll re-read. It was a beautiful book with amazing storytelling that sucked you in from the first chapter. Finishing it was bittersweet, saying goodbye to these two and their friends and family was sad but I’d do it all over again just to watch these two fall in love.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I am so grateful to have received an early copy of this book, and though my busy schedule made it hard for me to read it in a timely manner, every time I returned to it, it felt like wrapping myself in a warm, cozy blanket.
The Way Home is the sweetest, most heartfelt book I have read in a long time. The way that Caleb and Jamie love each other is so pure and genuine that it physically made my heart ache. I sympathized with both Jamie and Caleb throughout the entire ordeal of Jamie losing his memory, and I loved that the author wrote a dual point of view to capture both of their inner turmoil. It would be so painfully hard to be in either one of their shoes, and Megan's knack for inner dialogue really drives that home for both characters.
I can't tell you how many times I wanted to give Caleb a hug. Through learning about his difficult childhood, his fraught family dynamics and the loss of his mother, and his love for a man who doesn't remember him, I couldn't help but think about how he just needed someone to talk to! And unfortunately, the only person that he really wanted to talk to thought of him as a stranger. Of course, everything he went through in life turned him into the kind, understanding, steady man who refused to give up on Jamie even when it hurt.
Jamie is the character you want to hang out and spend a day with. Maybe go out for coffee, have him show off his latest exhibit, go out for evening drinks... I couldn't help but love him. And I think what I loved most about him was how determined he was to work through things, even when they were hard. Maybe he wanted to give up at times, but he didn't, and that makes all the difference. I loved how we get to watch him fall in love with Caleb all over again.
The side characters were very well crafted and made the story so rich! Caleb's family, Jamie's family, the Chelsea teammates... they are all so fun! And I would be remiss not to give a special shoutout to Ellie, who I would LOVE to gab and get a glass of wine with.
Overall, this book is full to the brim of tender, patient, beautiful love, and we are so lucky to have it out in the world. I would love these two in every universe.

⚠️ Minor spoilers ahead
I had the honor of receiving an ARC of The Way Home, and I can honestly say this story stole my heart.
Jamie and Caleb’s journey is one of the most beautiful, emotional, and heartfelt romances I’ve read. After Jamie loses his memory following a tragic accident, he wakes up unable to remember the last three years of his life—including the love he built with Caleb. Watching Jamie navigate this unfamiliar version of himself while Caleb patiently gives him the time, space, and unconditional support he needs was incredibly moving.
What I loved most was that this wasn’t just a story about recovering memories. It was about choosing each other every single day. Caleb never tried to force Jamie to remember. Instead, he met him where he was, loving him through every setback while carrying his own struggles with family and the homophobia he faced. Their relationship was built on patience, trust, and unwavering devotion, and it was impossible not to root for them.
There were so many moments that made me smile, cry, and completely melt, but my favorite had to be the beautiful callback between Jamie saying, “I’d fall for you in any universe, Caleb” and later discovering the engraving inside their rings: “I love you in every universe.” That moment absolutely shattered me in the best possible way. It was such a simple but powerful reminder that some love stories are meant to find each other over and over again.
And can we talk about the spice for a second? It was the perfect amount—sweet, intimate, and beautifully woven into the story without taking away from the emotional journey!
If you’re looking for an emotional MM romance filled with healing, hope, unconditional love, and characters who will stay with you long after you finish the last page, I cannot recommend The Way Home enough. This is an easy five-star read, and one I’ll be thinking about for a very long time. 🥹📚💛

Review of advance copy received from Author
First! Thank you so much, Megan, for giving me the opportunity for the ARC! This was my first and I was so nervous (still am) about not messing this up!!
I truly wish there were 1/2 ratings. I would give this book 4.5 stars. There were small things for me that I wanted a bit more on but not enough that I didn't truly enjoy this book. Megan was able to tell us about what Jamie and Caleb went through due to this horrible accident with enough that you could empathize with both of them... being just heavy enough without it being overwhelming. You can feel Jamie's anxiety, the fear of only remembering meeting Caleb and those initial interactions and not knowing how to navigate that. His friends and family telling him things about himself and who he is, parts of his life from the past 3 years that he doesn't know or recognize. Feeling like he might not be enough for Caleb since he didn't feel he was the version of himself that Caleb was in love with or wanted. Caleb... the heartbreak of knowing Jamie is okay after the accident but not having any memories of the life they had built over the 3 years is palpable. You can feel the love he has for Jamie and the helplessness of not knowing how to be there for him without causing anymore stress or pressure. Caleb also ends up going through so much more outside of just the accident as well and Jamie was able to be there for Caleb as he navigated those things. I think that the story was told in a way that was so true to itself and the things I wanted just a touch more on, might have taken away from that. I cannot say how much I enjoyed this book.
Thank you Megan, again, for the ARC. This was such a beautifully sweet read. Full of tension, spice and longing. You truly feel it all!

ARC review
3.5 stars, rounded up
I loved the premise of this book. An MM amnesia trope - sign me up.
“I’d fall for you in any universe, Caleb”
There was so much to love.
Caleb was an absolute sweetheart, everything he did to look after and care for Jamie, even to his own detriment sometimes.
I am actually glad that Jamie didn’t get his memories back, but fell in love with Caleb again on this own terms. As the person that he was and not who he used to be.
Jamie going to Caleb’s mother’s grave to ask her permission to propose was just the sweetest thing.
As an English person there were a few English terms that weren’t the most accurate (like denims instead of jeans), but i was able to look past this and still enjoy the setting of the book being in London. My husband is a Chelsea fan so that was a bonus as well.
There were a few elements that I wish could have been developed a bit further and I would have been happy if the book was a bit longer:
- The history of Caleb’s relationship with his dad and Bri, and then the subsequent improvement of their relationship and Bri’a relationship with Tay
- Tay being there in person and Jamie meeting her and seeing their relationship as she was so important to Caleb
- Jamie’s proposal to Caleb, I wish this had been detailed more on page as I know it would have been so beautiful and I would have loved to read Caleb’s point of view of this.
Overall I would recommend this book and this story and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Review of advance copy received from Author
First, I want to thank Megan Storm for the gifted eARC of The Way Home to read and provide my honest, spoiler free review.
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
My Thoughts:
Jamie and Caleb….wow where do I even begin with this book. I don’t want to give anything away but what I will talk about is how much love and compassion went into this story and into these characters. I could feel it while I was reading and following these characters journey and I want to thank Megan for sharing this story with the world.
Jamie and Caleb felt so realistic and I think that’s why this story made such an impact. The memory loss concept has to be done well and I feel like Megan did an amazing job at it. I can’t even begin to imagine what it must feel like to lose memories of someone you love or the life you built with them. Whether I’m the one that lost my memories or I am the one that tries to help the person I love, remember what our life was like…I can only imagine that it’s emotionally draining on both people.
That overall theme was well done throughout this story. It also brought up the question of how much are you willing to fight for the person you love. I feel like that’s one of the most difficult questions in the world and seeing it play out in Jamie and Caleb’s story was just beautiful in its entirety. From the prologue to the very end, I had a great time with these characters and I can’t wait for other readers to enjoy their story.

Review of advance copy received from Author
After a bike accident leaves Jamie with permanent retrograde amnesia, Caleb has to navigate loving someone who no longer remembers the life they built together. One moment Caleb has a fiancée, and the next he’s grieving the life he had with Jamie because, to him, that version of Jamie is gone.
Jamie is trying to figure out how to live with a man he only remembers knowing for one day. Since his retrograde amnesia means those lost memories will never come back, he has to help Caleb understand that the version of Jamie he fell in love with is gone. He wants Caleb to see and love the person he is now, not the version of who he used to be.
I LOVED Caleb! Even with having such a shitty father, he is patient, caring, kind, and so sweet. He loves Jamie so deeply and would do absolutely anything for him, he never gives up on Jamie or stops loving him. The prologue? Jeez… it starts out strong. We see how Caleb and Jamie fell in love before the accident & that really pulled me into their lives and their relationship.
I did want a little more emotion from Jamie though. Yes, he doesn’t remember those three years, yes he shows anger but it’s really fleeting & I wanted just a bit more outrage. I mean, he lost a HUGE part of his life. The ending felt a bit rushed. The biggest thing we were expecting wasn’t even shown in the book!
Still, I really enjoyed the writing & it was such a sweet story.

ARC Reader
I really enjoyed this book. I've read several books with the amnesia trope, and it's one of my favorites because it really shows the level of commitment someone has toward their partner. Caleb was the perfect example of that. He was caring, protective, patient, and always there for Jaime, no matter what. He's the kind of person I hope to find one day because he stayed through both the good times and the bad.
At the beginning, I really liked Jaime and thought he was such a sweetheart. However, after he lost his memories of Caleb, I found myself getting frustrated with him. I completely understand that he had no memory of Caleb, their engagement, or everything they had been through together, but I still felt like he was a little too hard on him at times. I know memory loss changes everything, but I also believe that sometimes you can just feel when someone is safe to be around. Even if Jaime couldn't remember Caleb, his body and instincts seemed to trust him. He had plenty of opportunities to walk away, yet he always found himself feeling safe with Caleb, which says a lot.
Overall, I thought the story was beautiful. It was emotional, heartfelt, and showed just how powerful unconditional love can be. I'm so happy everything worked out in the end and that Caleb and Jaime got the happy ending they both deserved.

Okay I'll try to give this without detailed spoilers! As you'll see from the book summary, the premise is memory loss, which is not a trope I read too often, but this totally won me over. This book is just the sweetest, I fell in love with Jamie and Caleb. The dorky Jamie and the sporty Caleb; it's a trope for a reason, so good and cute! The promise of gentle romance was well fulfilled, with just enough sex and longing to keep the spice-lover in me satisfied.
I really enjoyed the light angst of post-accident, with the two trying to navigate how life is going to be for them, and the uncertain future.
To give a balanced review, I'll say that the stakes driving the story were a bit simple, which is fine, it just makes for a light read; after the accident, the driving issue is the question of "Will we be able to fall in love again?" and the uncertainty of the recovery, but Caleb's support for Jamie kept me locked in. There's another pinch point moment for Caleb as the story progresses, and I enjoyed the theme of family; the hard moments and the good, the blood relations and found/chosen family.
If you are looking to devour a light and touching romance I highly recommend!

Thank you so much to the author Megan for providing me with an arc of her debut novel. I am absolutely thrilled to be one of the early readers of this book.
This story was so heartwarming. Reading this felt like talking to a friend without the need to explain yourself every two seconds. I absolutely adored Jamie and Caleb. I loved how they were always there for each other no matter what.
It was the first book that featuring memory loss that I've ever read and I really admired how the author handled it. It was so good to see she didn't make Jamie regain his memory, but made him fall in love with the love of his life all over again. Jamie and Caleb are sweethearts. The way Caleb was sooo attentive towards Jamie and always took care of him without getting tired was so beautiful to read about. Oh and the last chapter made me quite emotional, which helped me to connect with the characters even more.

This book takes you on an emotional journey and I couldn’t put it down. Jamie and Caleb are engaged and madly in love when Jamie is involved in a bike accident. When he wakes up in the hospital he can remember everything except the last few years of his life. That includes all his time with Caleb, with the exception of their first meeting. Caleb is still madly in love with Jamie but Jamie feels like Caleb is a stranger. Caleb decides to take things slow so Jamie can get his health back, while hoping his memories come back as well. Caleb is terrified that Jamie won’t fall in love with him a second time. As they spend more time together, there are a lot of highs and lows. There are a lot of firsts all over again and the two of them have a lot to navigate in their lives and their relationship. I adored this book and couldn’t believe it’s a debut novel. It’s a great love story and I’d like to thank the author for giving me an ARC copy.

I loved Jamie and Caleb's story sm! 🥺💗
This was my first time reading a memory loss trope, and I'm completely in love with it. From the very beginning, the story is set on such an emotional path, and my heart ached for both Jamie and Caleb as they navigated everything that followed.
I loved how their relationship was built on patience, unwavering support, and unconditional love. Every moment they shared felt genuine, making it impossible not to root for them.
I spent most of this book with a smile on my face, but the final chapters hit me right in the heart and left me surprisingly emotional. Their journey was touching, hopeful, and a beautiful reminder that love can endure even when memories fade <3
Thank you so much to the author for trusting me with an ARC of her debut novel. It was such a beautiful and emotional read, and I'll definitely be looking forward to her future books.

This story brought on so many tears and laughter and joy and I loved it! What I enjoyed the most was how Ms. Storm recognized that in love, one should not fall in love with the version of the person you first fall in love with. That to truly love a person, you need to love and respect every version of themselves that they have been and will be because love is not conditional. We are always growing and changing, we aren't the same people we were a year ago and nor will we be the same person a year from now. The people who recognize that and love us as we grow are our family, our soulmates because they are always the ones who make us feel seen even as we grow. As much as I was heartbroken by the events of this book, I loved seeing Caleb and Jamie falling in love twice and becoming stronger together. The care and attention they both lavish on the other is beautiful. Overall, I loved this story!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This was such an amazing story, and easily a five star reading for me!!
First of all I want to thank Meg for gifting me with an ARC!
The Way Home feels like a blanket on a cold winter day, it hugs you, keeps you warm and gives you that heartwarming feeling we all crave at times.
The memory loss of one of our MMCs - my beloved baby boy Jamie is the premise of the story, but it becomes so much more than a journey of one person trying to regain his lost memories. It’s a story about courage, facing the things that scare you, personal growth and of course, LOVE.
The dynamics between Caleb and Jamie were so heartbreakingly beautiful, the care those two characters treated each other with, the patience, the angst and insecurity, the TENSION 🫠😍🥹
The Way Home is one of a kind and I loved it start to finish!!

Fell for the glazed ARC reviews and the cute cover art.
I dnf:ed this book because after it had just started to gain momentum, it plateaued and fizzled out so hard and then was just boring and repetitive. It felt like the author lack a strong direction and confidence which is not uncommon with debut novels.
The writing was very basic and at times a bit clunky, and I wasn't a fan of all the arse, bloody, bloody hells trinkled in the British character's chapters. Although they are definitely words British people might use, they just felt missplaced and inauthentic, trying to emphasise that this is a British character.
There were sweet moments and I liked the beginning, and I think that the author has potential. This just wasn't for me.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5.
Tremenda sorpresa. Sinceramente me esperaba que el libro se fuera a la facil de usar el trope de la amnesia como el drama y conflicto de todo el libro. Que Jamie iba a recuperar sus recuerdos y empezar a recordar paulatinamente su amor hacia Caleb pero esto no fue asi (no digo mas). Jamie y Caleb son inmensos. El amor y devocion que se tienen estos hombres es algo muy unico y especial, me leéria una saga de libros solo de ellos dos viviendo sus vidas, a ese punto. Una cosa que me gusto mucho fue que Jamie no es un personaje que todos se la pasan cuidando y protegiendo si no que él mismo llegado el momento hace lo mismo por Caleb demostrando que son ambos trabajan como iguales en la relacion. Tremendo debut se hizo Megan Storm, no puedo esperar a leer sus próximas historias.

Review of advance copy
Wow how is it possible for a book to be so hot and so cute at the same time?
One of the things I loved most about this book is that the characters were real, flawed, whole human beings in the way that we all are. And watching them accept and love one other through each and every part of the discovery process that is falling in love was just so so beautiful.
This book is a must read at any season but especially over the summer if you’re looking to laugh, happy cry, and feel all the feels while the suns still out.
All in all? We need more queer love stories like this and Meg Storm is the author I want writing them. Whatever she writes next is an immediate TBR for me!

4.5 stars. One of the most convincing amnesia tropes I've read - showing the emotional toll it took on both partners. Caleb and Jamie had a particularly strong love and had built a solid life together. After an accident left Jamie with no recollection of the last few years after his first meeting with Caleb, both struggled enormously with how to restart their lives. Caleb's fears that Jamie might not fall in love with him again this second time were heartbreaking. The myriad of other characters were very interesting, each having their place in the lives of the MCs.
