Some people are running from intimacy. Others are chasing it. What happens when they fall in love?
Aaron, a passionate English teacher who believes in emotional honesty above all else, meets Daniel, a brilliant architect who's mastered the art of keeping everyone at arm's length. Their chemistry is undeniable, their connection immediate-and their fundamental attachment styles completely incompatible.
As they navigate the treacherous terrain of modern love, Aaron and Daniel find themselves caught in the classic anxious-avoidant trap: the more Aaron reaches for connection, the more Daniel retreats into work and emotional distance. The more Daniel withdraws, the more desperately Aaron pursues. It's a dance as old as relationships themselves, performed by two men who are experts in their respective steps.
But when a series of crises forces them to confront their patterns, both men must decide what they're really running from-and whether what they've found in each other is worth fighting for.
Sharp, witty, and unflinchingly honest, Through the Gripevine explores the beautiful mess of modern relationships and the painful truth that sometimes loving someone means learning when to let them go...or when to stay and do the hardest work of all.
For anyone who's ever wondered why they keep choosing unavailable partners-or why they can't stop running from the ones who truly see them-this novel holds up a mirror that's as uncomfortable as it is illuminating.
Sometimes the person you're really avoiding is yourself.
