So definitely cautionary content for homophobia, both external and internalized. They’re so close that Jasper’s parents pursue him to find a wife and settle down because his otherwise cool father is homophobic and his slightly overbearing mother isn’t exactly homophobic, but she’s not exactly an ally either. Friends since childhood, bound by the tragedy of the death of the Sutton family, the two men live together on Jasper’s parents’ estate, own a business together in the small North Carolina town where they grew up, and are one for each other. Jasper and Sutton, The Terrible Twosome, Thunder and Lightning fit right into the picture. That they were made for each other, whether they knew it from the start or not.Ī Million Little Moments features one such couple, which reminds me a lot of Joey and Gage from Beautiful and Terrible Things, if not quite as heartbreaking. Sometimes a romantic author creates a pair of characters who are so perfectly suited that you know that despite the challenges they face in the story, despite the circumstances, they will come together and be stronger as a result. This book deals with homophobic issues and contains homophobic language. And to be the man he really deserves, I have to fight for him, for us, and also maybe that means fighting for myself too.Ī Million Little Moments is a doubly awakened romance between friends and lovers full of firsts, self-discovery and two men meant to be together.
We had a million little moments to prove it. Loving Sutton is as easy as breathing, but knowing that my parents won’t accept us, not with all the backward things I’ve been taught to believe, makes every day a struggle.īut I’m sure of one thing: the world doesn’t make sense if Sutton and I aren’t together. The thing is, I’m in love with Sutton and apparently he feels the same way. But when Sutton walks away, everything changes and it tears me apart, forcing me to admit hard truths: that when he touches me, I feel different I need you always by my side. I have my family, my business and my best friend. So if it hurts too much, the only option is to walk away. It kills me more every day being so close to him and not being able to call him mine. Our lives are so intertwined that it’s hard to know where one of us ends and the other begins.
I feel more for him than I should, but admitting the truth would be the first step in losing him. From losing my family when I was young to living together and running our business, it’s always been me and Jasp. Jasper has been my best friend my entire life.
