High and Tight ,  Vanessa NorthReview from Jeannie Zelos book reviews.This is a shortish read at 26,000 words, but touching, relevant and complete. I enjoyed it though I hadn't looked and noticed it was a novella, despite my usual antipathy to shorts I liked it ;-)So, Adam seemed to me to be a real jerk when we first met him. He wanted Harris, had done since they were at school but also wanted his Navy career.....Then the policy of DADT was repealed and Harris exepcted Adam to contact him..but he didn't. Broken hearted he tried to move on with Jason, now its two years later, Adam's on leave and wants to pick up where they left off.It seemed to me Adam wanted to have his cake and eat it so to speak, and poor Harris had got a rough deal. Why should he abandon Jason, and take up with Adam when he'd no guarantee that Adam wouldn't still keep his Gay side secret. He needed action not words. Then we see how it all started, and some of Adam's inner thoughts and my mind began to waver.It's a great read, once again showing how tough life can be for those who don't fit what people percieve as “the norm”, how rife discrimination still can be despite legislation and how it impacts on so many peoples lives.Stars: four, a touching, tender read, quite deep in parts consdering it's length.Arc received via netgalley
