This Love has been acclaimed as our generation's One Day!
It is a compelling narrative that spans decades, delving into themes of queer love, friendship, and family. It offers a profound exploration of the evolving nature of human connections and relationships, demonstrating how they transform and grow over time with exceptional grace.
Initially, the story is full of youthful vibrancy, full of hope, late nights, and endless possibilities. As Mae and Ari mature, the scenes transition, evoking a vivid nostalgia for the carefree days of youth. Those days when dancing until dawn and still making it to a 09.00 AM class, weekends spent with friends, and the simple decision of whether to pregame were the primary concerns.
The narrative progresses at a measured pace, avoiding sluggishness, and instead, leisurely moves through the years, capturing moments of darkness, happiness, and confusion. Whether Mae and Ari are in close companionship or distant estrangement, each period is depicted with rich change and deep emotion.
This Love would make an excellent Netflix series, with its rich narrative and deeply relatable characters. Its potential for success is evident, especially as it explores themes of queer love, friendship, and family in a way that resonates with many. As we celebrate Pride Month, this book stands out as a poignant and timely read.
Thank you so much to the author - Lotte Jeffs and the team at Tandem Collective and Dialogue Publishing for running this read-along.
