Okay, gimme a sec...*lip tremble*One minute...*sobbing*You know how good this book is? I read the last 20% while watching last night's Letterman. Colin Firth was the guest. Colin "Please soak your shirt so I can ride you like a pony" Firth.To heck with Firth! I'm READING.When we first met Michael inThe Trouble With Tony (Sex in Seattle Book 1)I so wanted to read a story about him. And I was so disappointed that the second book wasn't about him. But it was worth wait. Michael is gorgeous & kind & empathetic and this line..."Why was it so easy for everyone to find love but him? Why was he always the bridesmaid and never then bride?"...led to my first bout of sobbing. Michael just wants to be loved.As for James - he's the character I'd usually be impatient with. Blah blah blah. You've been hurt. WE GET IT, DUDE. But Easton portrays James' hurt and pain so beautifully. The flashbacks to his childhood - you know what? I totally lied, those scenes started my sobbing. At least the first leakage. I love this quote from James:"When you first approached me, all I could think was that life didn't work that way. The most beautiful boy in the universe doesn't come knocking on the grisly recluse's door. If I wrote that plot, I'd be laughed off Goodreads."No you wouldn't, dude. We eat that stuff up.And then there's Tommy & Marnie & Lem. *sniff* And then there's Lamb. That part was just so, so beautiful. *lip tremble*YOU'RE KILLING ME, EASTON.I don't mean to imply this book isn't fun or a good time. It is. It may not be ha-ha-ha-hilarious, but it has a certain lightness that makes it enjoyable beyond the sobbing. The sobbing stems from how much it touched me. I so rarely cry over books these days that it's an automatic 4 stars when it happens.Not everyone is going to love this book. But I did. And that's what's important.Well, okay, I think you'll like it too. That's also important.
