I just find the whole setting of the story boring and I really didn’t the feel connection between John and Rhys. I didn’t enjoy the story that much but I didn’t hate it. But their 19-year age gap isn’t lost to John and it make take more than music to convince him to give love a second chance. When John decided to join a group choir where Rhys works as a leader, they didn’t expect that their love for music would lead them into something that neither man thought they have forever lost.

Imperfect Harmony is about John and Rhys who both lost their ‘partners’ and are still grieving their losses. Her stories are mostly feel-good with usually likable characters. She’s got a very easy style which translates into her stories. I love Jay Northcote’s style of writing – most of the time. Genre and Themes: LGBTQ, Romance, Age GapĬharacters: John Fletcher, Rhys Callington It is not my favourite from Jay Northcote but it’s definitely still worth reading. The whole story just revolves around these three guys which I thought was okay but I won’t mind a tiny bit of drama. The parallelism dragged the story a bit in my opinion. I liked the angle concerning Edwin and his secret but found it a bit too much at times. There’s beauty in simplicity and Jay Northcote was able to present that in this story. That may not sound enticing at all but I think a lot of people will really enjoy how Jay Northcote went back to basics and dish out a story that is not embedded with complicated plot lines, unbelievable twists that doesn’t make sense and some loopholes that the author totally forgotten to address by the end of the story. It is however, a book that is technically well-written. Passing Through is one of those books that doesn’t leave much of an impression long after reading it. At the end of the day, the question still remains unanswered between them – what are they willing to give up for love and happiness?

They got to know each other and soon found themselves exploring each other’s body and history. There he meets Tristan, a friend of Edwin who’s lodging and fixing up the latter’s cottage. Leo is a workaholic from London who found himself driving to Cornwall to spend some time with his beloved uncle Edwin whose days are numbered due to cancer. Passing Through is a predictable story but in a good way. Publisher: Self-Published via Createspace Genre and Themes: LGBTQ Contemporary Romance
