Muscling Through
OMG! I've never read something like this before! Muscling Through is a very unusual love story between two totally different people. They differ not only from their appearance and size but they have for sure very different IQ scores.
Larry Morton, pretty and small in stature, is a poshy Cambridge Art History Professor.
Alan Fletcher, Al, a huge tattooed undeniably sexy muscle guy, who works pulling punts for tourist.
They met, they fall in love. Simple story. As Al's POV.
How Al met Larry. Told by Al. (Because it is his POV)
VERY ROMANTICALLY. From the second sight.
“Is, er, your friend a member of college staff?”
“No, Al's an artist. And, ah, he's my partner,” Larry said. I like it when he calls me that.
I don't think Matthew's mum liked it. “How...lovely. Is that how you met? Through...art?”
Larry said “Yes” just as I said,
“No, we met when I was having a piss in an alley.”
...
“You? With someone from the University?”
“Yeah,” I said. “You'd never of thought it, would you? His name's Larry, and he's really clever. He's professor. History of Art. He likes Charlie Chaplin.”
“I bet he does! How on earth did you two meet?”
I thought of what Larry said when Mrs. Cartwright asked, so I said, “Through art.”
Sweet. Funny. Refreshing. Exceptional. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
Why nobody has mentioned it EXPLICITLY?!
J.L. Merrow made it PERFECTLY. The sex scenes don't last pages over pages, sometimes only some lines, but she ensures maximum impact!
We can lead a long discussion if it's credible or not, if Al is stupid or just DIFFERENT, if they would be together 25 years after or not.
Who cares? I don't CARE. They are happy!
Love has so many facets.
Love has so many faces.
Love is unpredictable.
Don't try to crack it's secret code.
Our life could be such an easy ride IF we know it.
This book was like a summer breeze in a cold November day for me.
I laughed reading it and I have this stupid smile on my face still.
PURE ENJOYMENT!
LOVE EVERY SINGLE LINE IN IT!
Great job, dear J.L. Merrow!
AN ABSOLUTELY MUST READ!
P.S I have to say it. Just have to say it. The cover. Is it Al?! Do you imagine him like THAT?!
1)YES.
a)We have different taste in men. We can be friends.
b)We've read different books.
c)You're blind and have only an audio version.
2)NO.
a)We have similar taste in men. We can be friends.
b)You have not read the book. Yet. BUT WHY??
