This is a great story about not judging a man by his public image, and also a story about unconditional acceptance and love.

Cardeno C did it again…make me have so much feels that the story just touched me.

Seth and Eli are wonderful characters. ...Eli's unrequited love and Seth's confusion and fear, they are two emotionally-driven characters. And so perfect for one another. I enjoyed Seth's journey of self-discovery. Finding and accepting himself and then accepting his feelings for Eli show Seth in a whole new, stronger, more confident light. And Eli's growth and maturity, his journey from child to man, is great. To see the lust-addled boy grow into an amazing, confident (still lust-addled) man is a beautiful part of this book. And to see those men dance around one another throughout their lives only to find each other at the perfect time. ... So, not only is this story a beautiful tale of true love, meant to be, soul mates - whatever you want to call it - it's also a hilarious peek into the life of a rabbi and his many adventures into weddings. I'm telling you guys, the "wedding curse" that Seth suffers had me rolling with laughter, tears running down my face.

And so begins the adventure of Jeremy and Reg and it is absolutely lovely. ...His initial meeting with Reg, well, it just highlights how being The Jeremy Jameson might just be a pretty tough way to live. What Reg does, through the glamour and otherwise that is the life of a rock star, is treat Jeremy like a "buddy, an equal, a regular guy." And this pampered, lonely rock star loves it. ... Let's put it out there – Jeremy of the purple hair is a wonderful thing. Purple hair gets me every time. But Reg? I loved him. He's patient, kind and adventurous but he is also loyal and sweet....But mostly, I just loved the maybe too perfect coming together of Jeremy and Reg.

I truly loved the dynamics of this family as it felt so realistic and organic. ...The author did such an amazing job creating these amazing and brilliant characters and their stories. The sex scenes were so hot yet beautiful and loved the connection that Abe and Jason shared and then to bring in Jason's family was just wonderful. The way the author developed the amazing character of Jason was great as he had to come to turns with a lot in his life and his heart was still open to having that family life. I highly recommend The Half Of US by Cardeno C to anyone who loves reading about the true meaning of love and family!
