This is the 2nd book of JF Smith's I've read, tho in chronological order it comes before The Last Day of Summer.  I bought this and everything JF Smith has written because I enjoyed Last Day so much.  It is rare to find a M/M romance writer that doesn't write protagonists as if they were teenagers living a fantasy romance, nor write guys that are just 'chicks with dicks'.  JF Smith writes real people having real problems and finding real and believable solutions.  His characters are drawn so well that you can relate to them as either people you know or as composites of people you know.  The characters have a journey of discovery ahead of them, a discovery about themselves that makes them grow and mature into a better person, a person worthy of the love the other protagonist is offering. JF Smith gives us the HEA we all want, but only after the characters are worthy of it.  Also, I loved discovering the same characters in the later book (or earlier, depending on the order you read them in) and seeing them moving on with their lives.  I can't recommend JF Smith highly enough.
