It was a good book and very well written, I somehow just expected something different. Not quite my cup of tea, but still a very enjoyable book.
I've had the pleasure of reading a few books by Reardon and "On the Precipice" is one of their best. While this is the third in a series following Nathan Bartlett, the reader is quickly clued into any major events from the previous books that may inform the story. This can work as a standalone novel. Nathan is taking a year to get some work experience and apply to graduate schools. This takes him to a tiny town that is home to Drew Madden, the center of a lot of town gossip for a variety of reasons, including the fact that he is in a wheelchair after a hiking incident. The two men are broken in very different ways and challenge the other to do better when it comes to how they handle their emotions. It's clear Reardon has done quite a bit of research about disability throughout the novel. This is admirable and informative, particularly since it does look at the challenges and realities of what it is like to be a person with a disability and the partner of someone who is disabled.
