Publisher Description
There are two sides to every story. Especially when you're still in the closet.
Tim Wyman hoped moving to Texas would mean a new beginning, but he soon finds himself falling into the same old patterns. Until he meets recklessly brave Benjamin Bentley, who brings love and compassion to his world. Certain that society won't understand what he and Ben have together, Tim is determined to protect their relationship, even if it means twisting the truth. Buried beneath his own deceptions, Tim must claw his way to the surface in the hopes of learning to fly.
Something Like Winter retells the story of Something Like Summer from Tim's perspective, offering previously unrevealed moments and personal journeys as he strives to become worthy of Ben’s love.
Each Something Like... book follows a different LGBTQ character on their quest for love. Central to the plot is the troubled relationship between Ben and Tim, high school sweethearts who continue to meet at different stages of their lives, their chemistry changing with each encounter. Surrounding them is a wealth of friends and enemies, each with their own story, resulting in an immersive universe filled with optimism and hope, heartbreak and healing. While the series doesn't shy away from sexual content, it also focuses deeply on emotion, resulting in an experience that will stay with you long after the final page is turned.

Something like Winter
My god, what an emotional roller coaster I went on, this book offers Tim’s perspective of events from Something like Summer as well as giving us insight into the characters deepest thoughts and desires. I absolutely adore this book just as much as I adore Tim and Ben
Definitely read!
If you've read something like summer like I did, I didn't hesitate to pick this one up. Mainly because I already was attached to this character in the first book, so much that he was my favourite because of his growth and lack of attention.
The sequel doesn't merely address the missing scenes, but creates an entire life for him.
Reading the impending hurt and pain you're expecting if you have already read the first book is not as masochistic as I expected; which was good for me because I always feared reaching them. I would leave my ipad somewhere while I was crying about the previous book, but curiosity tempted me back. Trust me, the different perspective is well worth it.
Loved it!
Fall in love with Ben and Tim all over again after Something Like Summer. It's been my tram book on my way ti work for the past two weeks and wish I didn't have to finish reading. Look forward to the release of the movie! Great read!
