After having read many of Andrew Grey's other books, I finally started on this one.  I immediately regretted not having read it earlier.  The characters are so real!  The friendship between the boys is very moving!  There are many tender moments that moved me to tears -- Evan's graduation confession, his seeing Nicky for the first time, his reunion with Clay, his dropping Nicky off at school and many more.  The "goodness" in human nature is repeated over and over, from Father Val to Dex's father to the boys' supporting Evan to Clay helping in the adoption, even though there are some bad characters along the way.  I cried, I laughed, I grew up with both Evan and Clay.  This is a tear jerker!  What a marvellous book?  Even without any description of the intimacy between the lovers this book would have stood high and tall.  I recommend it without any reservation.  Too bad I can only give it five stars!
