Description
Memory is everything.
After an injury in the ring, amateur boxer Leith Wenz wakes to discover his most recent memories are three years out of date. Unmoored and struggling to face his new reality, Leith must cope anew with painful revelations about his family. His brother is there to support him, but it’s the unfamiliar face of Zach, a man introduced as his best friend, that provides the calm he craves. Until Zach’s presence begins to stir up feelings Leith can’t explain.
For Zach, being forgotten by his lover is excruciating. He carefully hides the truth from Leith to protect them both from additional pain. His bottled-up turmoil finds release through vlogging, where he confesses his fears and grief to the faceless Internet. But after Leith begins to open up to him, Zach's choices may come back to haunt him.
Ultimately, Leith must ask his heart the questions memory can no longer answer.

(This Book ARC was provided to me by NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.)
This book The River Leith was shorter than i expected it to be or it can be because i flew through this book faster than i expected it was just really good and heart warming and angsty and i loved that immensely. The book is about a amateur boxer Leith who gets knocked out by a illegal hit in a match and he ends up losing the memories of the last three years of his life and with that, that he was gay/bi and in a relationship with Zach who is coping with all of this by vlogging about his struggle with Leith's Amnesia and how he is coping with it.
This book was bittersweet for me ,in a way that i loved the characters but the situation that they were in was just heart breaking to me and honestly brought tears to my eyes while reading, i was happy with the ending because honestly i thought that maybe it won't end well but ,again i was pleasantly surprised that it was a happy ending and i loved it.
Although this book was agonizingly short i feel like it was the perfect length for this book even though it felt a bit longer as it felt like i was on this emotional journey with Zach and Leith.
I rate this 5 Stars and i will definitely be getting some of the other works by this author as i enjoyed this and will most probably enjoy other books by this author.
I recommend this to any one that likes contemporary novels and M/M novels.
