ARC SIGN UPS OPEN

PSA: IF YOU HAVE ARC-ed FOR ME BEFORE AND INTERESTED, YOU DON’T HAVE TO SIGN UP JUST MESSAGE ME!

💙 ARC READERS WANTED 💙

I’m looking for early readers for my upcoming MM romance:

✨ The Day the Sky Turned Blue Again ✨

This is a slow-burn, emotional healing story about grief, friendship, and learning how to live again after loss.

Lucas wasn’t supposed to be on that bridge that night. Evan wasn’t supposed to meet anyone there. But sometimes the right person shows up when everything feels impossible.

📚 GENRE: MM Romance

Small-town romance

Emotional slow burn

Hurt/comfort

Found family

Mental health & healing themes

⚠️ CONTENT NOTE (PLEASE READ BEFORE SIGNING UP):

This story includes:

• suicidal ideation (opening chapter)

• depression

• grief and loss of parents

• survivor’s guilt

• references to past suicide (side character)

• emotional distress themes

• recovery and healing journey

While the story begins with heavy topics, it is ultimately hopeful, comforting, and romantic 💙

ARC readers receive a free early copy in exchange for an honest review on release week.

If this sounds like a story you’d love to read, sign up with the link in my bio!

Thank you for supporting my writing journey!

4/4 Edited to

... Read moreAs someone who deeply appreciates stories that explore emotional healing and mental health, I found the premise of "The Day the Sky Turned Blue Again" very compelling. The themes of grief, survivor's guilt, and depression are handled with sensitivity, making it a meaningful read for anyone who has experienced loss or emotional hardship. From my experience reading similar slow-burn MM romances, the combination of hurt/comfort dynamics with found family vibes adds a layer of warmth that balances the heavier topics. Small-town settings often bring an intimate backdrop that enhances character development and relationship growth, which I look forward to in this story. The fact that the author clearly shares content warnings helps prepare readers for the emotional journey ahead, which is crucial when dealing with subjects like suicidal ideation and grief. However, the story's progression towards healing, hope, and romance makes it ultimately uplifting. This mix of darkness and light reflects real-life experiences of coping and recovery, providing both authenticity and comfort. If you enjoy reading about protective love interests and guarded characters slowly opening up, this ARC opportunity sounds perfect. Being an ARC reader not only lets you peek into the story first but also gives you a chance to support authors by offering honest reviews that help improve visibility on platforms like Amazon and Goodreads. I recommend signing up if these themes resonate with you, especially if you want to support diverse stories within the MM romance genre that emphasize emotional depth and mental health awareness. Joining an ARC group can also enrich your reading experience by connecting you with a community that shares similar interests.
