What a terrible imagery yet in this thoroughly written book sad, but true. Of all the careers a romantic character could have - funeral home director / owner is not the one that comes to mind. Just the thought of what he did downstairs with the bodies gave the other MC the heebie jeebies - me too. I grew up scared of cemeteries. In my city all the cemeteries were fenced in, with the gates locked by 6:00 PM. Imagine my horror when I went down South and none of the cemeteries were fenced in. I was shocked, scared, and teased mercilessly by my cousins.
I attended funerals at a young age (First & Second grades) I saw them put my grandmother in the ground. Of course she was the one I watched horror movies with so I could conjure up all kinds of terrible things going on in the cemetery when it got dark. But never did I imagine what it would be like to grow up with the ...& Sons meant you had inherited a Funeral business. NO WAY! But our sensitive dutiful son determined not to let down his father, especially when deathbed promises were made.
I don't sleep well (at night). And I can't nap or I won't sleep at all. Being scared of the dark or memories of a scary movie is one thing, but being afraid of sleeping. Doing everything in your power to prevent it happening is another. Being in control until you weren't. Having a bag of Stay Awake tricks that worked for a long time until they didn't. Concealing the under eye bags until it was impossible to hide exactly how tired he was & the business - and the mounting pressure his boyfriend and another caring friend forced him to evaluate things.
Still no one was prepared for the harsh truth. Not even himself. But love, persistence, outside help, and a reevaluation of his priorities made him see a future that wasn't full of misery, loneliness, tiredness, instead something he eagerly strove for versus something he'd been trying to avoid. This was a remarkable book.

About the author
Beautiful Sleepy Owl
Going into this book I knew that Nicky was going to have me in tears at least once. I went in prepared. In true Nicky James fashion I was crying before I finished the prologue.I'm not sure how to express how I feel about this book. I've sat here for twenty minutes now listening to my music and just processing what I've spent the day reading.🦉Let's Start with our Owl, Finn. I couldn't imagine being afraid to simply fall asleep. I don't want to go into detail about what happened in the book but I will say that his fear was deep. It was amazing to watch this incredible story unfold. To witness this debilitating fear over something I never thought twice about. Just simply falling asleep.❤️Aven was so strong throughout this whole book. I thought for sure that....dangit.... I want to say more than I should.....He was so supportive and loving. Aven is the perfect book boyfriend.Nicky has this incredible gift of making her readers think. Not only is she giving us these amazingly emotional stories, she's spreading awareness about things people don't normally think twice about or have never even heard of. Falling asleep. It seems so simple. Yet, no matter how tired Finn was, he just couldn't willingly do it. The fear was too great.Read this book.... You will probably cry, most likely laugh and will be frustrated as hell at times. But, I promise you....it's worth it.I'm so excited for the next book... We get a hint at the end of this one what it's about. You get nothing from me. 🙂 Reeaaadd!!!!
