Just by Looking at Him by Ryan O'Connell

4.0

4??

just by looking at him covers such important topics of self love, toxic relationships, disabilities, and addiction. it could’ve been amazing and it very well bordered that line of almost perfect.

this book is filled with sex scenes, emotions, thoughts, and tough times that almost everyone will relate too. unfortunately for me i got lost in the modern references and heavy “lingo” that it became a sort of tasteless piece to me. overall the entirety of the book has a bold story and i wish we could see a little deeper into the main character, more of who he is and why. even when we do get to some of those parts, it’s quickly covered with jokes and then brushed away.

rated highly because the story is good, the book read so fast (literally once i was reading it i never put it down), and for the most part i wanted to see a happy ending for the mc. it’s hard to put comedy in a book that covers such sad topics, and maybe that’s where it lost me. said a lot of deep things, but surrounded by none sense words.
