Produktbeschreibung
Some loves define you. Others destroy you. You and Me is a haunting, lyrical debut novel that captures love in its most intimate, raw, and unforgettable form. Scott Godwin explores the fragile beauty of connection, the weight of trauma, and the piercing ache of loss through the lives of two men whose bond is as tender as it is profound. The story begins in a quiet rural town in Ontario, January 2024, as an early morning run turns into a nightmare when the narrator's partner becomes victim to a wolf attack. The narrator is left to confront grief, guilt, and the unimaginable void of life without the one who made him whole. Godwin's narrative then unfolds in memory: a relationship that began years earlier in a bustling city gym, where guardedness met vulnerability, and affection blossomed amid curiosity, longing, and shared histories. Through non-linear storytelling, Godwin traces the evolution of a love that is playful, steady, and transformative. From pre-dawn runs and shared silences to intimate conversations about identity, fear, and past wounds, the novel illuminates the quiet rituals that define a life together. Moving between city and countryside, past and present, joy and heartbreak, You and Me reveals the courage it takes to love fully and the devastation of losing someone irreplaceable. This is a story of queer love in all its complexity-intimate, flawed, and beautiful. It is a meditation on memory, masculinity, and the fragility of life, capturing the moments that make a relationship endure in the heart long after it ends. Readers will be drawn into the tender, vivid, and at times devastating world Godwin creates-a world where love, once found, leaves a mark that time cannot erase. You and Me is for anyone who has loved fiercely, lost deeply, or wondered how we carry those who have shaped us. It is a celebration of intimacy, resilience, and the enduring power of memory and affection. With stunning prose and emotional precision, Scott Godwin delivers a debut that is at once heartbreaking, unforgettable, and depicts love as both an anchor and a wound.
