Headstrong Ruben Harper has yet to meet an obstacle he can't convert into a speed bump. He's used to getting what he wants from girls, but when he develops a fascination for a man, his wooing skills require an upgrade. After months of persuasion, he scores a dinner date with Henry Normand that morphs into an intense weekend. The unexpected depth of their connection scares Ruben into fleeing.
Shy, cautious Henry, Ruben's former high school history teacher, suspects he needs a wake-up call, and Ruben appears to be his siren. But when Ruben bolts, Henry is left struggling to find closure. Inspired by his conversations with Ruben, Henry begins to write articles about the memories stored in everyday objects. The articles seduce Ruben with details from their weekend together and trigger feelings too strong to avoid. As Henry's snowballing fame takes him out of town and further out of touch, Ruben stretches to close the gaps that separate them.

The first half of this book was good. Creative, thoughtful, well written. Not what I normally read but still enjoyable. A really good editor might help with economy. The second half was disappointing. The clever writing of the first half was missing. It seemed a long, slow race to an obvious conclusion. And please, please enough of the long, tedious, and over wrought language to describe two men's emotions during sex. It's not realistic and it should be.Whether the relationship between an eighteen year old boy and a thirty plus year old man is appropriate is subjective, but why authors want to "prove" to their readers it is not only acceptable but also beautifully reasonable is just a burden to writing a good novel. Why do it. The eighteen year old could be several years older. The difference in their ages would still be sufficient to portray the distance in their life experiences without antagonizing some readers.

Everyday History (Audible Audio Edition) Alice Archer Daan Stone Dreamspinner Press LLC Books Reviews
I tend to read all day, everyday. There is so much to love in so many books. I think of them as friends, challengers, advocates, teachers and too much more to list. I have found myself so caught up in quite a number of things I've read from Julian May to Stephen Donaldson, from Chaim Potok to TJ Klune and so many more that the world falls away and I am inhabited by the words and stories of people I so desperately want in my life for vastly different reasons. It mostly distills down to wanting to say I see you as you were, as you are and as you will be because your authenticity is a lighthouse beacon to my mind's eye. Such is the gift of an author who creates whole tapestry out of abstract thought. This tapestry of Henry and Rueben has altered my view of everyday as profoundly more than I ever realized. I urge you to not bypass this chance at shift of focus in your everyday life.
5+++
Impressive poetic beautiful read. Extremely good. I'm gonna babble in this review because I feel internally heated by the beauty of this story and the way how this is written and my lack of English words. My God It touched and moved me so deep....I was overwhelmed....lost... Yes....thát good. It hit all my buttons.
Henry and Ruben......the mentor and the student
"Despite, during, and beyond the learning curve, he’s fearless. Instinctive. Majestic."
Those sentences...just...wow...
"I’ve been waiting in desire’s wordless, reckless, thoughtless swirl since the first time his expressive mouth smirked"
When Ruben speaks “I’m away for the summer. After that, I’m not waiting any longer.” Henry only can nod. Three months later they found their way to each other.
It was like they gracious danced around each other telling stories, making love, eating, drinking.
A lot of passionate sensual passages but minimal sexual interactions to read, mostly by imagination or by memorizing. The sexual tension was outstanding. The tension so so sensual and beautiful..
But then follows what they both knew would happen....they separate...
My heart broke when they said goodbye..
The distance between them is large but the yearning is larger.
Henry starts writing and publishing his 'everyday history' and Ruben reads them, shocked and feels them in his soul. He memorized his days with Henry.
That's what a great part of this book is about...the meaning of Henry's 'everyday history' how they were born in his life, memorizing each other with longing and deep yearning reflections how they were together....so perfect....but both with other ultimate goals.
Henry wants a forever and knows Ruben is to young to give him that......and Ruben wants a forever but not now....he just starts to live.....
We can read his 'everyday history' ....beautiful in this story.....but I want them together and time flies.... I can't wait the moment they will reconnect.....I'm impatient
Ruben's life is spinning because everywhere he experience Henry and he is all he can think of.
And the only thing he has are memories.
Henry is living his life meeting people making progress and Ruben is shrinking and squirming through life. He is obsessed and learning about Henry who tells through his articles.
And o my God is there a story to tell...
Ruben has to redeem himself and he is afraid he is running out of time.
That's where the searching for Henry starts and believe me that was a hell of a job.
Ruben tries everything and had help from his friends but it's a slow process.
Sometimes I really wanted to scroll through the pages to go where they will finally meet, but I couldn't it was to captivating, I was under the spell off....
It was horrible to keep them so long separated pure horror.
Finally....finally with an epic last part Henry and Ruben can hold each other....
"My heart needs a home."
There are some passionate breathtaking and heartbreaking parts that will hunt me for a long time. No lie....I even dreamed about it at night....touching parts...that made me cry...
It switches from Henry's point of view to overview and that really works great.
Outstanding book with the most beautiful defined sentences you only can read sporadic.
A deep touching story that has to be read....!!
I love and hate the apple pie in this story
This was the first full-length novel M/M romance I’ve ever read and MY GOD was it fantastic.
Readers beware—this is not a lighthearted story full of fluff and fun (although there are fun, and downright funny, parts). This is a story that goes deep into the very complex themes of abandonment, belonging, and redemption. The background stories of some of the characters actually made me weep as I was turning the pages. This happens to me sometimes and I always know it’s a solid indicator that I will return someday to reread that particular book, because it’s worth a second reading. I think I could actually reread Everyday History a few times and still find treasures to unearth, it’s that beautiful.
I was also astonished at how strongly I was pulled into the heat and chemistry between the two main characters, and how emotionally invested I became in their love story. The erotic scenes we see them share are so gorgeously written I had that experience where I really lost track of the fact that I was even reading a book. I got completely lost in the passion between them. ‘Steamy’ is not even the word. It was like ten levels up from steamy. Again, just fantastic.
Really a phenomenal book. Very highly recommended.
The first half of this book was good. Creative, thoughtful, well written. Not what I normally read but still enjoyable. A really good editor might help with economy. The second half was disappointing. The clever writing of the first half was missing. It seemed a long, slow race to an obvious conclusion. And please, please enough of the long, tedious, and over wrought language to describe two men's emotions during sex. It's not realistic and it should be.
Whether the relationship between an eighteen year old boy and a thirty plus year old man is appropriate is subjective, but why authors want to "prove" to their readers it is not only acceptable but also beautifully reasonable is just a burden to writing a good novel. Why do it. The eighteen year old could be several years older. The difference in their ages would still be sufficient to portray the distance in their life experiences without antagonizing some readers.
