The unexpected twists and turns in this thoughtful story kept me fascinated and dying to see what would happen next. Seeing these two characters interact, and how their relationship changes both their lives was an intense and moving experience. One of the most unique and creative books I’ve read, Reece Pine’s Get Up completely blew me away. How can he convince Cam to come in from the cold… and why are they both really out there anyway? Guy knows he’s the best person to help Cam abandon the dangerous wilds outside and address those in Cam’s head, but he also knows that he’ll lose the chance if he comes clean about his ulterior motives for getting close to Cam. At times, Cam dissociates and is icier than Guy could ever be, yet he’s the only one who’s ever recognized, at a glance, the emotions burning beneath Guy’s surface. Guy’s investigation is soon biased by his attraction to Cam and the growing concern about Cam’s odd behavior. By agreeing also to help the eccentric ecologist survey wildlife for a month, Guy buys time to assess Cam’s innocence and hear stories about Cam’s late father–Guy’s favorite fantasy writer and the man whose book Cam is accused of stealing. Recently dumped (again) for being cold, Guy gladly accepts his publisher friend’s request to go to a remote hut in wintry Nunavut to find out whether aspiring novelist Cam Campbell is a plagiarist.
