August’s Book of the Month: More Than A Crush by Chelsea Maria

Below is Episode 55 and our reviews. It’s full of spoilers.

 

Her
He asked me to tutor him in the eleventh grade. That was the first time my young heart fell out of rhythm. By senior year, we were best friends, and my unconditional love for him had awakened. By the time we finished college, I experienced my first heartbreak.
He’d chosen another. Someone that wasn’t me.
He’s still my best friend. I love him. All I need is for him to love me the way I’ve always loved him, but now I’ve embarked upon another problem…
I’m falling in love with someone else.
Is it too late for us? Why can’t he see me? See that I’m the only woman who can love him efficiently.
Him
The first time I laid eyes on her; time stopped. I vowed to never let her go and accepted the tormenting role of being her best friend. I wanted to be her lover.
I courted others unwillingly because she sought men that weren’t me.
**This is a rereleased body of work previously released June 2019**
She’s the air that I breathe. No one else compares to her.
Am I invisible? Why can’t she see me? See that I’m the only man who can fill her hollow places.

 

Telicia’s Review

OMG, I loved this story so much. Low had me cracking up. That girl does not play. I don’t want no smoke. 🤣 Chauncey & Gianni’s 10-year friendship though 🥹, it was beautiful to experience. I really enjoyed their love🤣 for each other, so much so that I won’t even disrespect Gia, calling Chauncey mine. They are made for each other, & waited way too long, in my opinion, for happily ever after. I was waiting on they sex scene, when she asked him to eat her 🌹, I thought it would happen then or when he threatened to bend her like a pretzel, I thought it would happen then. In my mind they waited until they honey moon night. Oh & big S/O to my girl Gia because she mentioned my fav artist Sammie 🥰🤣. I would love to read a story about Low. She was my fav character, coming up with words to stop cussing and calling herself the female version of T.I, the girl had me crying laughing the entire time.
