Tree surgeon Aidan Drummond is content with his own company. He works alone, and lives alone, and it doesn’t occur to him to want anything else until a life-changing accident lands him in hospital. Then a glimpse of the beautiful boy in the opposite bed changes everything.

Ludo Giordano is trapped on the ward with a bunch of old men. His mind plays tricks on him, keeping him awake. Then late one night, a new face brings a welcome distraction. Their unlikely friendship is addictive. And, like most things in Ludo’s life, temporary.

Back in the real world, Aidan’s monochrome existence is no longer enough. He craves the colour Ludo brought him, and when a chance meeting brings them back together, before long, they’re inseparable again.

But bliss comes with complications. Aidan is on the road to recovery, but Ludo has been unwell his entire life, and that’s not going to change. Aidan can kiss him as much as he likes, but if he can’t help Ludo when he needs him most, they don’t stand a chance.

"Kiss Me Again is a deliciously tender and prickly romance about the intimacy that comes with acceptance. Ludo and Aidan accept and love each other for exactly who they are—complications, injuries, mental health issues, moods—and I loved them for it." -- Roan Parish

Review 

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Garrett Leigh's Kiss Me Again is a heart-warming, yet pensive novel.

After a fall leaves Aidan injured, scarred, and left immobile in the hospital, he meets Ludo. The two men have a quick and sudden connection. What follows is a powerful love story.

It's a tender tale of mental illness, as Ludo is bipolar. This look into living with bipolar disease, as well as living with a bipolar person, is written with knowledge and care. It's a strong theme and will definitely bring out all the emotions. 

Their story is messy, complicated, and full of ups and downs. Riveting and compelling, Aidan and Ludo will affect you and leave a lasting impression.

My favorite quote is  "And there's the problem I've always had with living things . . . people, animals, whichever. With love comes fear of living without. Of breaking it. Hurting it."

In typical Garrett Leigh fashion, Kiss Me Again is a gusty tale full of touching issues. This romance is real, raw, and definitely not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for a story with meaning, do not miss this accomplished tale.
