His dyspraxia makes it hard to read people. He doesn\u2019t do relationships and he certainly doesn\u2019t do the great outdoors. Two weeks spent \u201cembracing beach life\u201d while he tries to close the deal on a once great, now fading seaside hotel is a special kind of hell. <\/p>\n<p>Until Luca. Gorgeous, unreachable Luca. <\/p>\n<p>Luca Moretti travels light, avoiding all romantic entanglements. Estranged from his parents, he vows this will be his last trip home to New Milton. His family\u2019s hotel is on the verge of ruin and there\u2019s nothing Luca can do to save it. He\u2019s given up on the Majestic, he\u2019s given up on his family and he\u2019s given up on his future. <\/p>\n<p>Until Theo. Prickly, captivating Theo. <\/p>\n<p>No mushy feelings, no expectations, and no drama\u2014that\u2019s the deal. A simple summer fling. And it suits them both just fine. But as the summer wanes and their feelings deepen, it\u2019s clear to everyone around them that Theo and Luca are falling in love. What will it take for them to admit it to themselves\u2014and to each other? <\/p>\n<\/blockquote><center><span class=\"ubb-buy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07DCSHCTW\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/amazon.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Amazon\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/between-the-lines-sally-malcolm\/1128809461?ean=9781488036200\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/bn.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Barnes & Noble\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/between-the-lines-79\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/kobo.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Kobo\"><\/a><\/span><\/center><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/40794540-between-the-lines\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/widget_logo.gif?w=1280\" alt=\"Goodreads\"><\/a><br><\/center><center><p class=\"ubb-buy\"><div class=\"ubb-icon-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/4stars\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0003_4-stars.png?fit=80%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"4 stars icon\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/beach\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"101\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/categories_0000s_0000_beach.png?fit=80%2C101&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"beach\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/contemporary\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"140\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0007_contemporary.png?fit=140%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"contemporary icon\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/m-m\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"102\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/categories_0000s_0005_m_m.png?fit=80%2C102&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"categories_m_m\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/romance\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"82\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0017_romance.png?fit=82%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"romance icon\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/center><br>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2018-12-11T05:30:36+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\r\\n\\r\\nI adored Ms. Malcolm's last book, a retelling of Persuasion, so to say I was very excited for this one would be an understatement!

\u00a0And, yes, it was just as good! \u00a0It&#8217;s a delightful example of enemies-to-lovers starring a neurodivergent character, with an underlying message of forgiveness. \u00a0While it&#8217;s set in the same time and includes the wedding of the two main characters from the first book, I think it&#8217;d work perfectly fine as a standalone.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The horizon was already dark, a few stars visible in the deep blue, and when he opened the window and stepped out onto the narrow balcony he could hear the roar of the surf. It was a comforting sound, like the endless hum of a Manhattan night, only more gentle\u2014and with fewer fumes. He inhaled a deep breath and felt the peace of the place sink into his bones. For a strange moment he found himself wondering what it would be like to belong here, to have that peace for himself.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Luca&#8217;s a bit of a wanderer, content to travel from beach to winter resort, working as a seasonal surfing or snowboarding instructor. \u00a0The only constant is that every summer he returns to New Milton, his childhood home and the location of his family&#8217;s hotel, the Majestic. \u00a0This year, however, may be the last, as his mother reluctantly intends to sell it. \u00a0Theo represents the company making the offer, and needs to close this deal to prove to his father, the CEO, that he&#8217;s worthy of taking over the company. \u00a0So when Luca&#8217;s mom suggests that Theo stay for two weeks before she&#8217;ll sign the offer in the hopes of making him see what&#8217;s so great about the Majestic, he reluctantly agrees. \u00a0Despite a rocky start, the chemistry between Luca and Theo is undeniable, so they agree to a no-strings-attached fling while Theo&#8217;s there. \u00a0I&#8217;m sure you can guess how that works out!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSee?\u201d he said irritably. \u201cYou\u2019re doing it right now. Why can\u2019t you just say what you mean, instead of expecting me to divine it by\u2014\u201d he wiggled his fingers \u201c\u2014magic?\u201d<br \/>\nLuca snorted a laugh. \u201cYou know what? It\u2019s lucky you\u2019re gay. At least guys tend to be pretty up-front about what we want, huh?\u201d He made a vague, crude gesture. \u201cYou\u2019re hot, let\u2019s screw. Am I right?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI guess.\u201d Theo poked at his hamburger. \u201cBut even hookups take a certain degree of&#8230;nonverbal communication. And it\u2019s so easy to make mistakes, to think you know what someone wants when the truth is they don\u2019t want you at all.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From the meet-cute to the epilogue, it&#8217;s obvious that Luca and Theo are very different men, and Ms. Malcolm did an amazing job with differentiating their voices. \u00a0Theo has dyspraxia, which manifests for him as coordination issues and problems reading social cues. \u00a0It&#8217;s frustrating and exhausting for him, wondering if people actually mean what they say or are being sarcastic, or lying, or any of a multitude of other reactions. A past work romance gone wrong &#8211; the man was married &#8211; has soured him on all relationships. \u00a0I thought this was handled very well, from the descriptions of how it affects Theo&#8217;s life to how Luca reacts to it. \u00a0Rather than coddling him, Luca simply adapts to make things clearer or easier or Theo, not protection but assistance. \u00a0Luca, for his part, has his own demons he&#8217;s fighting, and that&#8217;s part of the beauty of this book. \u00a0It feels emotionally deep and honest, and while at points it&#8217;s heart wrenching, it doesn&#8217;t feel like you&#8217;re being played for those emotions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPoint is, resentment screws up your life. It\u2019s always best to move on.\u201d<br \/>\nLuca glanced at him, wondering whether he was making a point, but perhaps it was only Luca\u2019s conscience pricking. Resentment was one of his oldest friends, after all. It had served him well the past five years, kept him from forgetting how badly the people you loved could screw you over. Kept him from making the same mistake twice.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The nature of one of Luca&#8217;s demons, though, is the one part of the story that&#8217;s still bothering me. \u00a0Luca&#8217;s dad ran off when he was young, and five years prior to the story, Luca&#8217;s mom Jude married Don. \u00a0While, at one point, Don tells Theo that he thinks Luca would never have accepted any other man in Jude&#8217;s life, it most certainly doesn&#8217;t help that Don is of the &#8220;love the sinner, hate the sin&#8221; homophobic camp. \u00a0Feeling betrayed that his mom chose Don over him because she married him, Luca swore to never spend another night under their roof and left. \u00a0Cutting ties with the hotel that&#8217;s been in his family for three generations hurt, and he blames Don for Jude&#8217;s determination to sell the hotel. \u00a0Of course, going with the whole forgiveness theme, there is a reconciliation storyline here, and I&#8217;m of two minds about it. \u00a0While it&#8217;s true that Don seems to have changed \u00a0&#8211; though he still disapproves of Luca&#8217;s &#8220;promiscuous&#8221; lifestyle &#8211; most of their behavior towards Luca is still pretty awful. \u00a0Jude seems incapable of understanding why marrying somebody who so thoroughly rejected a part of her son hurt him so badly. \u00a0I&#8217;d also agree that the degree of resentment that Luca is harboring, while completely understandable, is a giant festering wound that&#8217;s poisoning his life &#8211; he refuses to take over the hotel because it would benefit Don&#8217;s retirement &#8211; and it nearly drives away Theo. \u00a0His reconciliation to someone who&#8217;s still unable to apologize for his homophobic stance seems like it might be extremely hurtful to readers who&#8217;ve dealt with the same pain and who&#8217;ve chosen to cut contact. \u00a0I&#8217;m not one of those, though, and there&#8217;s a line in the book, to paraphrase, about &#8220;forgiveness, even when it&#8217;s not deserved&#8221; and, to me, that&#8217;s what&#8217;s happening here &#8211; Jude and Don don&#8217;t deserve Luca&#8217;s forgiveness, have done nothing to earn it, but Luca gives it to them anyway to free himself of the burden of resentment that&#8217;s been controlling his life for too long.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, though I spent a lot of time thinking about Luca&#8217;s parents and their actions, at heart this is a lovely, emotional story about two flawed men and how they find their HEA. \u00a0I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will definitely be picking up whatever Ms. Malcolm writes next!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I adored Ms. Malcolm&#8217;s last book, a retelling of Persuasion, so to say I was
