About this listen
Zack lost his job, his apartment, and his hope, which is why he ends up on the roof of a high-rise, certain that one final step will solve his problems. But a mysterious stranger named Rob happens to be on the roof that night too. He talks Zack down, convincing him there's still hope left in the world. Zack thinks maybe he's right, which is why he's shocked when he turns on the news the next morning to find out Rob jumped himself. Disturbed and confused, he searches for answers, starting with Rob's brother, Tommy Rayburn.
It's been Tommy's job to take care of his brother since they were kids, taking the blows from their father so Rob wouldn't have to. Tommy thought he could protect him, even if it meant carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Considering Rob threw himself off a building, he obviously couldn't.
Then he meets Zack, a friend of Rob's who's suspiciously evasive about how they knew each other. But they're both grieving and determined to find out why Rob jumped. Answers don't come easily, and soon they're soothing each other with sweat-slicked, passionate encounters. Hot as things get in the bedroom, it doesn't take them long to realize there's more between them than mind-blowing sex and their pain. But the heaviness is still there, threatening to pull them under, and if they can't open up with each other to lighten the load, the weight just might be enough to crush them both.

Great story
Trigger Warning : SUICIDE
well worth the read. A book about second chances, love, hope for a better future. A book that shows a little of the ripple effect of suicide on those left behind, a book on childhood trauma and some of its possible effects. A few laughs, giggles and tears.

Oh my, that was intense
I just finished this book and I'm floored! Im crying. An incredible story of a second chance and the devastation that suicide can cause people. I love the rawness of this book and the way the authors approach suicide and those left behind. I feel so connected to this book from my own experiences and felt the truth in the words of the characters. It has many bittersweet moments, a few laughs and raw emotion. I'd definitely say this book should come with a trigger warning about suicide as it feels so real but gives you hope too. I admire the strength Zack shows throughout the book and I love that in his darkest moments he was given hope. Hope can be hard to come by sometimes but when its given how onto it and know theres great strength is asking and/seeking help. Wonderful story as usual Riley and Devon ❤
