My Review:I wasn't so sure about this book at the beginning. Vince is under a sink doing plumbing for a gay couple when he has the "first thought" that maybe he's gay. He's 40 with 3 divorces under his belt. At first, it truly just seemed like he just wants to belong somewhere, rather than being gay, but as the story evolved, things became clearer as to how he got to this place.Vince is part of a huge Italian family who runs a string of restaurants. He has an MBA in accounting, but does plumbing work instead...just because he needs some separation from his family.The other side of this is Trey. Trey is young....twenty-six and trying to get through school one class at a time, while working two jobs and taking care of his grandmother and drunk mother. Every dime the family ever had went to mom's rehab which never stuck, now Trey is drowning in debt and responsibility and barely keeping his head above water. Unlike Vince, the only family he has is mom and Grandma and they aren't exactly a great support system. He's been out as gay pretty much his whole life, but is shocked when he finds Vince at the local gay club looking extremely uncomfortable. The gay community is all about the sex and Trey isn't into that...in fact, he's a virgin. When he sleeps with a guy, he wants it to be about love, not just the sex.While Vince is floundering with his sexuality and certainly not comfortable with the sex part of it, his relationship with Trey is perfect. Neither one of them wants to go there and they have a great time together, despite their differences. He also doesn't know what to do about his new realization with his family, who don't seem like they will be very accepting of a gay son.I liked how family played so large in this story. Vince and Trey come from such different backgrounds, but I love that Vince's family and how they step up. His relationship with his sister is also huge in this book and I love the bond that they have and how it helps him to understand Trey more.This was just one of those feel-good books to read. It was a good story and definitely entertaining. I liked it!
