![]() ![]() Delete your history and along with the bad stuff, you lose a whole part of yourself, the story seems to say. To some, the idea of being able to erase the past and start all over again may sound highly attractive, but if you don’t have your past, then who are you? In The Binding, it leaves people shells of their former selves. She began to wonder what would happen if she could take away their story, leaving them to begin again, musings that turned into The Binding. Once safely stored in the book, abracadabra, you will never remember your secret, no matter how dark.Ĭollins was inspired to take this tantalising idea and turn it into a book after volunteering for the Samaritans and listening to people who were ‘stuck,’ their whole life defined by a story where they were victim or a villain. While he does learn to handcraft beautiful volumes, within each one he captures your past, a memory that you want to forget. Memories, what we do with them and how they shape our lives, are central to The Binding, a darkly delicious, and above all, deeply romantic novel beautifully written by UK author, Bridget Collins.Īs well, it’s a book about books: the main character, Emmett Farmer becomes apprenticed to a Bookbinder, but it’s not book binding as we understand it. ‘Memories are a nice place to visit, but a terrible place to live,’ as someone once said. ![]() ![]() ![]() He seemed fully committed in his actions, so his reluctance to say it out loud felt incongruous with his behavior. I kind of got what the author was going for, but it felt a little weak to me. ![]() My only sticking point is that I didn't really get Peter's reluctance to commit. shhhh.) I loved how the relationship grew and progressed over time, and I enjoyed being on the journey with these two men. ![]() I don't like a lot of riffraff or poppycock clogging up my romance! (Okay, I just wanted an excuse to use those words. It is all about the couple and very little else, which I happen to like. However, I think the author did a nice job here, with a veerrrrryyyy slow burn, enemies-to-lovers (in a mild sense), office romance. It was GFY/OFY heaven, and I knew it would be a tough act to follow. I ADORED the first book in the series, Better Than Good. The narrator rocked this story out and made it a great listen. I loved Jay's sexy southern voice and Peter's more masculine voice as an awesome counterpart. His range of voices MADE the story for me. **throws glitter and does a pseudo-mystical dance** Lane Hayes, or whoever picked Tyler Stevens, is a very smart person indeed. You feel like you are living the story, rather than just reading it. A great audiobook narrator makes you forget you are listening to an audiobook. ![]() |
