Review: A Lovable Character
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 05 4, 2014
I first met Charlie Trager in Laurie Boris' book, Don't Tell Anyone, and he was one of my favorites. Charlie is the type of man that makes women wish he wasn't gay, shoots hoops with the guys, and then throws back a cold one with his feet up. I think that is what I love most about this character, the fact that Boris created him realistically. I can't count how many times I've read a book with a gay character and the author put waaayyy too much sugar in their gas tank. Know what I mean? Most of the gay men I know don't run around in capri pants or tote "men purses."I also loved this book because it gave me a deeper look into Charlie's life – what he does on a day-to-day basis, who his friends are, what he wants in life. I wondered about that after reading Don't Tell Anyone and was so glad that the author decided on a spin-off series for him. He's interesting without meaning to be and that makes him even more special to readers. I can't wait for the next book! Keep strong, Charlie! Your fans have your back!
