This story had so many layers to it, much, much more than I had expected going in.  I was sucked in right from the beginning, and by chapter 9, 25% into the book, I knew that I really LOVED it, much more than most books.  (I also loved the cover, those two fit perfectly into my imagination!) This story was so hard, with Vinnie figuring out his orientation while being part of his big, Catholic, Italian family, and Trey dealing with his mother's "disease."  But they supported each other through everything, and let their love grow so slowly and beautifully that you were right there with them understanding everything they felt.  It was all so wonderfully described and beautifully written (with perfect grammar and editing too!) that you got swept right in.I loved the characters too, and seeing as I'm half Italian and half Polish (both cultures have very close-knit families), I really loved reading about that kind of environment.  Trey and Vin were so perfect for each other.  They took things so slowly, gave the other just what he needed, and grew into their lives together.  This is the perfect book if you want to feel a range of emotions, and in the end feel so happy and uplifted with a huge smile on your face (and have a strong desire to go find yourself a man just like Vinnie).  It's so gentle and sweet, but has its painful, dark moments too.  I just loved it all, and recommend it to everyone.
