Book review: A Bit of Me

Hi, pornies! Hectic days again, life taking its toll and messing plans up as usual. But I still got time to read a bit, which is funny if you consider how long this book. Really, I couldn't put A Bit of Me, by Kent Lowe, and I'm so happy I got the chance to read it. Thank you so much to Gay Book Promotions for sending me a copy!

I know, the synopsis doesn't tell much, so let me put it in short for you: 

George, Alfie, Ellie and Aimee have always been together. In fact George and Ellie have been together for three years now, but things have been strange for them. When she starts putting some distance between her and her boyriend, George fear that aybe love cannot conquer it all, nad what's even worse, seems like that bartender, tattooist-wannabe Jack had something to do with it. He's sure about it. But life has different plans for the two guys. While Jack tries to stay alive and George to deal with the loss and hatred, every encounter will put them in the road to stop being enemies and become something more.

I had my doubts when I began reading this book. Although I loved the style how and how everything is described, it was a bit slow and I was wondering about the romance. I was eager to see these two guys getting along, but couldn't find any chance about it. George was a brat and Jack kept to himself so much I was desperate for a chance.

As the saying goes, ask, and the universe shall deliver. Change was waiting for them to be ready, and what a cute turn of events it was! I liked how they developed, changed and evolved into something different. It's a very realistic story that teaches you a thing or two about friendship, identity, self-discovery and love.

I was waiting for more sex, to be honest, I wanted to find a scene were things would get wild because Oh-My-Gods there was so much sexual tension in the air between these two, but it was actually just a bit. I liked it, nontheless, Kent Lowe has a great style and knows how to turn the reader on with just a few paragraphs, but I wanted more in terms of lenght and temperature.

We also get to know a bit about the past of each characters, their respective stories, how their lives were before meeting each other and how things develop from there. As I said, you will have to wait a bit until the sugar appears, but it will be worth the wait. Not to mention Nan, George's grandma, will make you laugh every single time she's on stage. Promise.

Read it, pornies. A cute lovestory awaits, but filled with drama and arguments. There are a couple of typing mistakes here and there, but they don't bother at all, honestly. You will fall in love with A Bit of Me in no time.

About Kent Lowe:

"My English teacher in Year 11 once said that I'd either be a rent boy or a writer. I wasn't successful at the first so thought I'd try the latter."
Kent Lowe grew up in East London, spending most of his youth in Dagenham, before moving to Essex.
Being a daydreamer and somewhat of a loner, he found art and literature to be the perfect medium for his endless imagination. After finishing college, Kent went on to study a Fine Art degree where he moved from canvas to installation which reared his love for both visual and literary storytelling.
Kent has always had an affinity with animals, and growing up with a menagerie of creatures, he now has fish, an orange cat and four adorable dogs that make his chaotic world just that little more harmonic.
As an artist and writer, all of Kent's works delve into humour, love and friendship.
