Something About Sammy by Blaine SimsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A complex theme that makes for interesting reading...
Whenever we face painful situations, especially where a moral dilemma is concerned, we sometimes hold ourselves back as we try and process what's happening. We think we're stuck in indecision because of a particular situation. But the truth is, it isn't the situation at all. It's our ‘energy’ that has become stuck because of the trigger from negative emotions about the situation.
Something About Sammy, as the author states is ‘An emotional story interwoven with the logical and illogical; obsession and indifference; fantasy and reality. A conundrum of unfamiliar and inexplicable sensations and feelings... You’ll enter the world of an older straight man settled into a new community. A man with a history of triumphs, successes, failures and let downs who has always risen out of the ashes.’
The reader will experience the ‘startling shock that engulfs the main protagonist as he becomes infatuated with and consumed by a much younger millennial gay man – a total stranger he has little in common with.’
An unusual, albeit interesting read. Recommended.
