I've never read an A.J. Truman book but have loved Matt's so I was excited for this first cowrite from them and it was so lovely! It's second chance that starts six months after Marshall (Marsh), an aspiring comedian, broke up with his boyfriend of either years, Marshall (Data), an accountant with a talent for wood carving. Data was somewhat blindsided and  heartbroken when their relationship ended after eight years together, but when Marsh asks him to go to their co-owned cabin in the mountains for a weekend to pack it up and get it ready to sell, he goes. Both men are big guys and loved each other for it (the fat rep here was well done, I love how hot they are for each other's bodies), and it's like no time has passed. First it's "breakup sex" but then they're snowed in and things go from there, all while both men still secretly love the other and think once they get back to the city it's all over for real. There's chronic illness rep (asthma), a family member with dementia, childhood trauma from growing up without much to get by on, fears about being almost forty and not knowing what you're doing in life, and more. I really really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the rest of this series as it's released in the next couple of years. Also, I've read all of Matt's books but now I want to dig into A.J.'s extensive backlist. I've said it before with Matt's books and also earlier this month with another author's, but even though I'm always here for queer rep, anything written own voice (in this case MM written by gay men) has a wonderful sense of authenticity to it that I just love.
