Those of you who read the first book are aware that everything began with the coat made of sugar and blue clouds being stolen from a coat hook in Enzo’s ESL class above a dumpling restaurant. The first book ended with the return of that coat and Enzo finally hearing the one word he’d needed to hear from the universe.
That one word, and his one perfect night with Peter, gave Enzo the hope he needed to move forward with his life. To try and put his life back together after so much loss and grief.
How could the sequel not be about hope? And possibility? And two coats?
In the sequel, we begin with present-day Enzo in a coffee shop in Minneapolis on a gloomy, rainy, early spring day. A bundle is in his arms, and he is ruminating about his new homeland, his life, love, and what it has all meant. About who he is now.
Then we flashback to 8 years prior with Enzo on a plane that is landing. Where has he gone?
I think we all know.
Told in 4 parts, THE WARMTH OF OUR CLOSEST STAR covers Enzo and Peter reuniting after a few years apart.
Then the love affair that follows.
But love is never simple. Love is never a linear line. Life is not simple or linear.
As we flip through the 421 pages, we’ll ruminate on life, what it means to be an American, friendship, hope, possibility, death, grief, and what could possibly be the meaning of life.
In the end, maybe Enzo figures it all out. Or maybe he realizes that the more he learns the less he knows.
But there will be love. Sex. Fights. Making up. Friendship. Lots of laughs. Family. Hope. Possibility. And creation.
In the beginning, Enzo has one question.
What is a life without possibility?
In the end, Enzo has one question left.
What does he have to be happy about?
And we’ll find out what happened to a black wool peacoat and a coat made of sugar and blue clouds.
THE WARMTH OF OUR CLOSEST STAR isn’t a simple romance–because love and life are never simple. But it is a love story. An epic love story.
And I guarantee it will leave you with hope and happiness in your heart.
Also, maybe just as important, no one dies in this one…
Tremendous Love & Thanks,
Chase
