The Arc
Humor is how James and Gabriel survive, flirt, deflect, repair, and love each other. Gabriel’s sarcasm, James’s self-awareness, and the private jokes that belong only to them become part of the language of their relationship.
Readers who enjoy these emotionally intimate stories about love, identity, humor, and endurance may find something familiar in The Sky We Shared.
