Neben dem Vertrauten von Leigh Bardugo, lese ich aktuell noch ein vorab Exemplar vom Buch meiner Freundin zur Korrektur. (Das erscheint am 11.2. nächstes Jahr im self Pub)
The man in the mirror reminds him of the one person he never wanted to become: his father. Musical actor Arrick Filan has no more fight to give, and so he runs to the other the end of the world and returns to his roots as a teacher. The small town is an opportunity he never knew he wished for, the cat that squeezed herself into his life a constant reminder to do better. And then there’s Evan, his boss, whose puppy eyes promise more heartache than he was counting on.
Evan Miller’s focus is on his friends, his dog and the school. He is vice principal, teaches P.E. and English, and greets upcoming heartbreak with open arms when he sets eyes on the new music teacher at Ashland High. Evan’s unending attempts at friendship and romance force Arrick to wonder about the choices he made with the obsessive ex he left behind, and if starting something new with Evan is worth the potential pain. He has kept his heart and history close to his chest, but glimpses at his passion for music and teaching make it impossible for Evan to turn away.
