Love Me More

De: R.S. Medina

Narrado por: Jennifer MacIntyre

I’ve always heard that you should marry someone that loves you more than you love them - that if you do this, you’ll always be happy.

Did I follow that advice? No. Am I happy? No. And is Finn happy? No.

I’m stuck in a marriage with an ex-Marine suffering from PTSD. I’m not sure we’re in love anymore. We have a baby who brings us both joy - but it’s not enough. I feel like my life is crumbling around me and I’m struggling to keep the pieces together.

Someone from my past has sauntered back in quietly, unknowingly. To my surprise, the attention is what I was craving.

I have to make a decision. Do I stay and fight, or leave, when the idea of escape is beautiful and tempting?

I’m always the one who loves more.

Intense, erotic, and volatile debut

RS Medina's novel is not the normal kind of book I would read for myself, but I'm so glad that I did. The writing is well-executed and reminded me of Caroline Kepnes of YOU fame in terms of style, but the voice is all her own. Weaving a tale of both past and present together from three points of view, we're pulled into a triangle filled with self-doubt and loathing, PTSD, and a man who doesn't fully recognize boundaries. The pacing is just right, building slowly but surely (but never boringly) to a dynamite finale that is shocking and heart-hammering. This is not the kind of story where everyone is smiling and going about their lives after learning a valuable life-lesson at the end. This is messy, *real*, and heavy.

The dialogue is realistic, the prose authentic to the characters, all of whom are fleshed out well, and the pacing is just right. I'm glad I went on this twisted little journey and look forward to more by Medina.

The narration was well done.

Don't miss this, it really is excellent.

Wow. Intense.

This is a heavy read but I appreciate the realism. I have a few friends in the military and I feel like I need to go and hug them now. I feel bad for literally everyone in this book (well, except Tristan). Blair should have left, but she couldn't because everyone was pressuring her saying divorce was The Absolute Worst Thing That Could Happen (spoilers: no it's not), and Finn desperately needed help and didn't know how to ask for it. Jeeze it's rough.

Writing was excellent and Narrator was great, good range of voices. Will recommend.
