MP Book Reviews on Instagram: "Review: Affogato by E.M. Lindsey 4 of 5 stars
Caleb’s thriving Deaf‑owned café can’t distract him from the disaster of his love life, especially after his ex cheats, dumps him in public, and turns him into a viral humiliation. Bitter and closed off, he convinces himself he doesn’t deserve anything good—least of all Bodhi, the anxious, sweet new hire he’s been unfairly cold toward from day one. Bodhi, though, has his own quiet strength and a past that explains far more than Caleb realises. As they grow closer, he shows Caleb a gentler kind of love: one without conditions, pressure, or expectations. Their connection becomes a chance for Caleb to heal and believe in a real happily ever after.
The story is packed with emotion from the opening chapter to the final page, and both Caleb and Bodhi bring a depth that makes their journey feel incredibly real. Caleb is still reeling from a humiliating public breakup, trying to rebuild his confidence while navigating the unexpected pull he feels toward Bodhi. At the same time, Bodhi is struggling with his limited ASL, past trauma, and the challenges of being autistic in a world that often misunderstands him. Their connection grows through small moments of trust, care, and vulnerability, and the way Caleb supports Bodhi — gently, patiently, and with genuine respect — gives the romance a beautiful tenderness. The story also offers meaningful insight into Deaf culture and the everyday realities Deaf people face, adding richness to the emotional arc. The feelings between them are vivid and easy to understand, making their slow, heartfelt bond one of the most compelling parts of the book. It’s a love story full of warmth, healing, and the kind of emotional honesty that lingers. This was an MM story with mature content.
