I still am not sure what I didn’t like about it; I gave up at 15% or thereabouts. This time, I couldn’t stop reading. I read straight through and loved it. I’ve always preferred first person, so this is right up my alley.Al and Larry are perfect together. Al may be rough around the edges, but he really is a big ol’ softie. Larry is clever (according to Al), but he doesn’t come off as snooty or slumming. Poor Larry didn’t really want to admit to how he and Al met, most likely because Larry made some very bad assumptions. Al, though, he just took it all in stride. This short story covers a little over a year of their lives together. It turns out, Larry is the insecure one. Didn’t see that coming. The relationship moves steadily, though, and I love the ending.
