Charlie and Booker felt like real,  sensitive people,  anxious to connect,  worried about miscommunication,  taking some emotional risks.  They meet at the lake,  at Charlie's new holiday house.  Booker was there in the water and caught Charlie's eye,  though Charlie was convinced Booker would turn out to be straight...  Booker's situation was complex, and Charlie's water phobia was well handled.  I liked the descriptions and the way KZ writes. Here's how Charlie describes his feelings:- (about 1/3 into the book)I was unaccountably happy.It was obvious we were both ready to crash. This long, strange day was winding down,  and we'd been drugged by the narcotic called sex. I studied Booker's face,  intrigued by its blending of youth and maturity.  He was a rough kind of handsome, and anything but ordinary.See - like soaking into a warm bath,  I could trust the sentence structure and narrative,  and enjoy my time with these men.
