kimberly_rose is finished

Amazing beginning and middle, lost steam the further in I got. I want to rate this book higher than To Stand Close because parts of it were uber more intense, with superior pacing and writing, but, other parts were worse, and I could barely finish this book, what with the slow crawl and the way the plot developed (not my cuppa).

Meh, meh, getting away from intense interpersonal feelings and diving into heavy political philosophizing....

Oh man, this war is making me tense! It's a hard sell for me, the man-vs-culture conflict, but the man-vs-self and man-vs-man is so good! I think I need to take a break though, read something soft and sweet, cuz this is heavy. (And I hate thinking it's gonna be a bittersweet ending... Please don't, I chant.) Philosophical and individual growth heavy. But good. heavy cream? Lol. Trying to come up with a gold metaphor.

Jimmy May be dense and self-centred, but Takes Brass Balls to be as humbly soul-searching as Jimmy is now.

Takes greatness to be balanced humble. It's a paradox.

Holy. Shit! Now that we know what Nate was really thinking all this time, now that he's told Jimmy, will Jimmy be humble enough to earn form Nate, to prove his love? To not just act remorseful and act as of he's learned something a she did for the judge, but to actually learn something about himself? Man, good thing it's only 50 percent over--this is gonna hurt hard and good. The pace is amazing.

Uh gawd, I'm biting my nails! This love of Jimmy's, this peaceful existence of Nate acceptance, it's building up to such an apocalypse! Jimmy loves nate's ease: e.g. Jimmy can be late, Can break promises, because Nate never complains. How sweet it is.... Jimmy has never truly suffered for love.

Sigh, jimmy loves nick, he's so "easy-going," not like the other ppl he's dated. Doesn't jimmy get that Nate is a slave?!

Does jimmy love nick or does Jimmy love who nick tries to be for jimmy?

Yanno, it's as if they are an equal, happy married couple. But they're not. Nate is the one making it work, going along with it. Peaceable.

Ohmygod--said in a rush of breath--this is good! Humiliation. For sure. Nate is so submissive but you can just feel the quivering strength and want beneath. And jimmy. My god, jimmy. Dense mother fucker. Thinks he's got it all figured out. Simple simon. Kind, in his own head, but dense. Never even thinks to ask about Nate, who he is, who he was, who he wants to be

What an entitled, oblivious, empathy-challenged prick. My god, this is juicing me up. Poor Nate!

Oh man, I sense much character growth required. Big Jim is so self-centered and egotistical that he didn't even think to get his slave Nate crutches for his broken leg--not until he saw how happy another slave made Nate by hand making a single crutch for Nate.
