Synopsis
Meet me… in the place where the sun kisses the horizon and sinks into blue shades of you and me.
Meet me there… where everything was always perfect. You and me and the damp grass at dawn and the gray dirt in the late evening rain.
Meet me where we were ourselves and not these two people who can’t even say I love you.
Meet me there and maybe we’ll remember…
We’ll remember the us we were before them, before miles, before lost hours, and you’ll ask what color the sky is, and I’ll say blue like your eyes.
And you’ll smile, and I’ll forget I ever missed you.

Luka and Rook have been best friends since they were nine years old.
Five years ago, Luka threw it all away.
When his dad’s health takes a turn for the worst, Luka must come home to say his goodbyes and mend the bridges he burned all those years ago. But coming home is harder than he imagined, and after reuniting with his family, there’s only one person he needs.
Rook…
His best friend.
The one man he pushed away, the one man, no matter how hard he tried to forget, he can’t stop himself from loving.
Even if loving him means breaking his heart all over again.
Meet Me in the Blue is a stand alone, best friends to lovers, second chance, demi-awakening, MM romance, with a whole lot of small town heart, meddling moms, gossiping townies, self-discovery, a friendship forged of forts, Dungeons and Dragons, and a love that will stand the test of time.

Meet Me in the Blue by A.M. Johnson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Rook and Luka were inseparable from the time they met as children. When Luka left their small town Rook knew they would always be close. He was very wrong. When Luka returned they tried to find their way back to each other. “You give me what I need every time I look at you. By simply… existing.” (Rook)
Lots of descriptive imagery throughout, nice writing. Fully fleshed out main characters (and some of the supporting ones too). Heavy angst with sweet highs and very sad lows.
As (probably, with most readers), I rate a book based on gut feelings. Not really sure what about anything specific that might trigger that feeling. About half way through this book I decided it was a decent story and based what I’d read so far that I would probably wind up giving it three stars. As I continued to the end I felt maybe it was a five star read. So I compromised with a four star. Just my feelings here.
