3.5*This story was heavy and exhausting, at least most of it.Matt is trying to recover from his lover and BFF leaving him for a woman, they had been together for practically his entire life, had built a life together and then he finds out not only is Joe 'going straight' but has been seeing the 'oth...

I love that this turned out to be not what I expected at all. Poor Joe is on such a downward spiral after Joe upheaved his entire life. Aaron is such a sweetheart. I wish he was a little more open about Rosie from the start, but was happy with the way things turned out. There is quite a bit of B...

This was emotionally grueling, and I admit I teared up twice while reading about the depression and downward spiral Matthew goes through in the first half of the book, as depression is something I am very familiar with. I won't try to write an eloquent review here, because there are already several ...

Words fail me. There is no way I can do justice to this book's brilliance and perfection. And since this is the first book by Harper Fox that I have read, I'm almost afraid to pick up another for fear that I shall be disappointed.A definite RECOMMEND!

Life After Joe is an emotionally grueling read. Matthew had a beautiful home, a promising career as a doctor and was living his happy ever after with the man of his dreams, the man who had been his friend since childhood and his lover since their early teens. And then Joe left Matt to marry a woma...

I love a beautifully written work. My degree is in English lit, and while I came to appreciate Romance novels for what they are in middle life, I often wish that many of them were better written. This one is, with beautifully crafted turns of phrase and sentences that aren't ashamed to be more than ...

Life After Joe was a lovely angst infested read about breaking up and moving on and dealing with grief. I really liked this book, even though I thought Matt at times needed a boot in the arse and a bit of a hurry up. The beginning of the book felt a little choppy at times with Matt’s overwhelming sa...
