Commentary Toward Books Weight of the World
"The world’s an awfully big thing to carry by yourself."Zack lost his job, his apartment, and his hope, which is why he ends up on the roof of a high rise, certain that one final step will solve his problems. But a mysterious stranger named Rob happens to be on the roof that night too. He talks Zack down, convincing him there's still hope left in the world. Zack thinks maybe he's right, which is why he's shocked when he turns on the news the next morning to find out Rob jumped himself. Disturbed and confused, he searches for answers, starting with Rob’s brother Tommy Rayburn.
It’s been Tommy’s job to take care of his brother since they were kids, taking the blows from their father so Rob wouldn’t have to. Tommy thought he could protect him, even if it meant carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Considering Rob threw himself off a building, he obviously couldn't.
Then he meets Zack, a friend of Rob’s who’s suspiciously evasive about how they knew each other. But they’re both grieving and determined to find out why Rob jumped. Answers don’t come easily, and soon they’re soothing each other with sweat-slicked, passionate encounters. Hot as things get in the bedroom, it doesn’t take them long to realize there’s more between them than mind-blowing sex and their pain. But the heaviness is still there, threatening to pull them under, and if they can’t open up with each other to lighten the load, the weight just might be enough to crush them both.

I went into Weight of the World by Riley Hart and Devon McCormack knowing absolutely nothing about it- not the title nor blurb. I'd been told it was emotionally charged, but that's it. Within a few sentences, I knew that this story would hit me hard. It deals with suicide and depression. As I've mentioned before, depression is something that I deal with and it sometimes it makes me critical of stories of this subject matter. Hart and McCormack did a beautiful job handling their character'sYikes!! I'm definitely in the minority with my review. I tried, really really tried, to like this book but gave up at 42%. The guilt of both characters, Tommy and Zach, was stifling and repetitive. They seemed to drone on and on and on and it got really depressing to read.
Felt zero connection between the MCs. Everything was just too repetitive. They'd Talk, somebody gets angry/upset, they fuck, repeat. That's all they do. It was exhausting and in the end I wasn't interested anymore about Rob's reason for committing suicide. #notagoodexperience
5 emotionally beautiful stars!!!review to come...
This was a really down story and its not that I didnt expect that but I didnt think it would drag throughout most of the book. It went from Tommy and Zack having a bonding moment then always the guilt afterwards and this went on and on. Then when Tommy found out how Zack meet Robbie it blew my mind what as ass and how unforgiving he was!!!! He decided to contact Zack again because of a damn dream, seriously 😐. When he turned his back on Zack I was so done with Tommy. The last chapter was the one
4.5 to 5 stars. This book broke my heart so many times that it was impossible for me not to love it. Maybe is the fact that I started this when I was PMSing or maybe I'm just an emotional mess but I had to stop and take a break to cry more than once. This story is told in Zach and Tommy's POVs and the authors gave us a few Rob chapters that made us see what was going on with him.All of Rob's chapters are set in that fateful night that changed Zach and Tommy's lives but it still makes you know
4 StarsLoss, heartache, despair, confusion, abandonment, anger, guilt. Acceptance. Love. Hope. Weight of the World deals with a magnitude of strong (often warring) emotions. With a plot centred on the ripple effects of a suicide, this story is a tough one to read at times, but in my humble opinion, it was handled with grace and humility.I don't read this kind of story often, for obvious reasons, but in Riley Hart I trust, and I wasn't left disappointed. Even with all the doom and gloom
