Went back through my Goodreads account, which I've had since 2008, to see what I'd rated 4-5 stars. I don't own some of these books anymore, so it's pleasing to see them laid out together in screenshots. A selection:

there's something about jim grimsley's writing that absolutely captivates me. his characters are the ones that stay with me for the longest time and his style strikes all the right chords. i'm happy that after almost a year without reading, his latest book is among the first ones i've cracked open.

i'm in love.

Easing off after the first long phrase, they opened their eyes. Everything said, Go slow, you are in another kind of time.

The streets looked lonely now that the tow truck had pulled away, and the restaurant was quiet in an early morning way; there was a sense that this was a hidden world, maybe because of the hour.

Title: The Dove in the Belly

Author: Jim Grimsley

Rating: 3 out of 5

Review: It might be my fault for having too high expectations for this as I had predicted a five star read. The summary intrigued me and I was interested in an examination of queer relationships in the 70s but honestly I felt indifferent the entire way through. There was no disliking any character, simply I felt nothing at all and didn’t quite care about their relationship. While it is well written it wasn’t what I had hoped to find. I thought it was mediocre and the parallels in the different plots were not what they needed to be in order to have any compelling emotional moments that were clearly the importance of the later chapters.
