The Man I Love - Suanne Laqueur (2014)

 

College freshman Erik Fiskare decides to major in lighting design when he starts his time as a student at Lancaster University. His work in the school theatre takes up almost all of his free time, but Erik quickly becomes intrigued by the theatre world and specifically the people who star in it, such as fellow student and ballerina Daisy Bianco. Both Erik's and Daisy's lives are changed forever after their first meeting, and they can't seem to stop thinking about one another. As they get to know each other better, they slowly become incredibly close, and it's the start of a compelling love story. However, Erik and Daisy's love is put to the ultimate test when they are both involved in a shooting incident at their school. This traumatising experience scars both of them for life, but, in the end, will their love be strong enough to survive the challenges that are being thrown at them? This book is quite a long read, but one that's definitely worthwhile. It encompasses a love story of 15 years that has definitely made an impression and will stay with me for quite some time to come. Erik and Daisy seem to be made for each other from the start and there's a deep and special kind of love that binds them together. Suanne Laqueur has done a tremendous job showing we never know what could happen to us and how experiencing something devastating can traumatise people for life. She deals with the question whether something as strong as love can overcome these obstacles, and she does this in a compelling and convincing way. Erik and Daisy's story is an incredibly raw one; a story that made me feel all kinds of emotions from happiness to anger to frustration to sadness. It's hard to believe this is Laqueur's debut novel; it's really well-written, captivating and she has managed to create a new gripping love story that will undoubtedly be read and loved by many. The Man I Love is a compelling, heartfelt, intense read that will have you in its enthral until you've finished it; a really promising debut novel. (JoH)
