Let me start by saying, this story is way out of my wheelhouse!  As a reader/writer I feel obligated to explore a wide variety of genres in order to appreciate all forms of writing.I came across the story on a blog where the author was discussing how constraining genre categories can be. I decided to read the story to analyze the dilemma. Since it was free I had nothing to lose.Ms. Boris has written an excellent short on two gay men. The main characters are Charlie Trager, a TV producer and Adam Goldberg, an underling in the Mayor’s office. Charlie has always knows his sexual orientation while Adam is married with children, yet very conflicted.Their chance meeting occurs when Adam is scheduled for an interview at the TV station. His first contact with Charlie reignited the feelings he’s suppressed for twenty years, to re-examine his life and what will make him happy and complete. Laurie does an excellent job describing Adam’s internal emotions to the point you’d swear it was a women talking. Well done.Structurally, this is a well written book. I found a few hiccups, but nothing to detract the reader.Will I read another story like this? Very doubtful.Who will like this? Anyone in the LGBT community.Four Stars
