Three-way relationships are difficult to handle in many circumstances with tensions usually arising between two of the partners.  This book has some of that but mostly it has an eye-opening trip from an Alabama closet to a Key West laissez faire ambiance that changes three, and maybe more, lives along the way.  I loved the main character, the narrator Wil, who is basically outed in his hometown in Alabama just as he's about to leave for his first vacation with his deeply closeted lover, policeman Don--who slinks away and refuses to stand up for Wil as townspeople shun the latter's thriving restaurant.  He goes to Key West anyway and meets up with bartender Adam and manager Simon, who run the resort and are in a committed relationship.  What follows is a sweet and salty personal exploration for each of them, and when their ultimate crisis comes (which you can see coming very clearly but won't bother you), it's an interesting solution that leads to resolution.  Great beach read, on the sand or in bed or anywhere else.
