Bluebird by Mimi Rhine, Mimi Rhine

4.0

This book is a delicate journey between two young men that have endured so much hatred and pain. This is hurt/comfort to the core and my emotions went through a roller coaster. 

Philipp is out and proud but has endured a  relationship where he has been degraded and hurt both emotionally and physically. This especially in regards to sex and intimacy.

Adrien is out but not of his own making and the way he was outed has put a mark on how he sees the world and the people in it.  

I want to hurt both the ex's of the MCs, especially Philipp's. I can't fathom what he has endured and the fact that he manages to trust Adrien is a sign of how strong he is.

I enjoy the setting of the book, with it being in central-ish Europe and with the backdrop of dance. As a reader you realize how important the dancing is for all of the characters even if not all of them participate in the endeavors on stage.

The book is emotional, it both breaks and heals your heart at the same time. So have tissues nearby and snuggle up for a wonderful read.
