I did enjoy the story line, and I loved the blind dates because they were quite funny.It took me a little while to get into the story because I felt like it was being written to tell us the story of Coleman and Marco rather than from Coleman's point of view.  It is hard to explain but it felt like the book was saying ' Coleman felt that .... ' instead of feeling like you were inside Coleman's head and walking his journey with him - it made me feel kind of detached.  I think this is why when Coleman thought how much he was in love with Marco it took me by surprise because I felt that Colman enjoyed Marco's company but I didn't get the feeling that Coleman had developed deep feeling for him.  The letter from Marco was also very surprising because there were no hints of his feelings at all.  Coleman went through the book wondering if Marco was even gay. The reconciliation between them was rather quick and I was wondering why marco was even at the ceremony at the end ... and why he was given such an important role.I am also not American. I felt at times that this book spent too many pages on proving indepth details on things that really don't concern me ( I know that there needs to be some degree of info as that was Coleman's job) and I felt that it took away from the 'romance' between Coleman and Marco.  i would have liked to know more about the characters - what was Marco's family like - I feel I only got a really narrow view of him.
