It is always fascinating to see how two men who have been lovers for years still manage to misunderstand each other. And, as is the case in ‘Never Let Me Go’, not about the small stuff either. Paul is an up-and-coming actor facing his first major film role – for which he needs to fly to Hollywood. Andrew is an established writer who sees Paul as his muse (on top of loving him deeply) – and doesn’t want to hold him back. Each man thinks he is doing the other a favor by not being clingy, and neither understands that letting the other go is potentially the biggest mistake he will ever make.
Paul is excited about playing a role in a film, but he’d much rather have stayed with Andrew. He misses him every day as he is getting used to being a celebrity, but he is unsure about his ability to express his love. He also fears Andrew may be tired of him.
Andrew doesn’t want to hold Paul back by being too attached, and while Paul is his inspiration, he thinks he has to let him go. He is desperate to see Paul again, but he is also afraid of being rejected if he asks for more.
These two are quite the pair! The angst and longing jump off the pages, and I was glad to see each man had friends and people who care about them. I doubt they would have figured it out by Christmas if they hadn’t been more or less gently pushed in the right direction – toward each other!
If you like angsty books with men who love each other deeply but are too afraid to admit it out loud, if lovers who believe they are doing “the best thing” for their partner while dying inside are your thing, and if you’re looking for a read full of longing, fear of rejection, and characters who wish things were different, then you might like this short story.
