Opinioni Friends, Lovers, and the Big
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir is a heartwarming story of love and friendship. It follows the lives of two friends, Matt and Dave, as they become closer over the years and eventually fall in love with each other. The book is narrated by Dave, who tells their story with humor and candor.
The novel begins with a prologue set in the present day, where Dave is preparing for his wedding to Matt. He reflects on their relationship and how it has changed since they first met. The bulk of the story then flashbacks to when they were first getting to know each other in college.
Dave was immediately drawn to Matt, but wasn't sure if he could be open about his feelings due to the social stigma around homosexuality at that time. They quickly became close friends though, confiding in each other about their hopes and dreams for the future.
As they get older, their feelings for eachother begin to change and they must grapple with what this means for their friendship. Eventually they come out to eachother and confess their love for one another.
The book ends back in the present day, with Dave reflecting on how far they've come as a couple and how happy he is with Matt.

Questa è la storia di un grande amore e di un grande terribile segreto.
Mia moglie Ashley e io siamo stati sposati per quasi dieci anni quando, nel giro di pochi mesi, abbiamo iniziato a mettere in dubbio tutto ciò che sapevamo dell'amore, del nostro matrimonio - e della nostra sanità mentale. Stavamo passando attraverso qualcosa di simile a un esaurimento nervoso collettivo. Lei piangeva senza motivo apparente; io trascorrevo le mie notti su Internet alla ricerca disperata di risposte; entrambi eravamo infelici, insoddisfatti e confusi.
Poi venne fuori il segreto: Ashley mi ha confessato che si era innamorata di qualcun altro. Era terrorizzata all'idea che potessimo divorziare, lasciando i nostri due figli piccoli senza una famiglia - ma ancora più terrorizzata dall'idea di non poter vivere senza l'uomo che amava.
In Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing affrontiamo head-on il modo in cui questa crisi ha minacciato la nostra relazione - e la nostra capacità di essere genitori adeguati - ma come abbiamo deciso, alla fine, di lasciare alle spalle il biglietto da visita del tradimento e provare a fare marcia indietro verso l'amore.
