I'm not a huge fan of MMM, but I have to say that I truly enjoyed this book.Josh is terribly insecure, even though there's nothing at all wrong with him. Young, decent looks, working at an interesting and creative profession as a glass-maker. He just never feels up to snuff, not helped at all by his ex- who told him he was boring in bed. And he's very shy and easily embarrassed (blushes at the drop of a hat).At times this grated on me a bit... Josh not being able to speak up at all and always assuming the worst... but it WAS totally in character, and was still more sad/sweet than annoying. 'Just wanted to go up to him and give him a little shake at times--totally for his own good, mind you!LOVED how this all was set up-- with Josh and his best-girl-friend hearing the mad sex from the flat above... and Josh trying not to show how much he was turned on by the couple and the sounds. It introduced things nicely--with a well-established couple and then how Josh's wish for some loving sex and a relationship might come true, even though it seemed so unlikely and not easy to work out.LOVED how different the three were. Very sweet, quirky... and totally sexy.They did seem like real people. They had flaws and a past (that was nicely worked into the story and really helped in characterization). They weren't supermen with supermodel looks--but were better in many ways--which is nice in a romance (which is basically fantasy, but I don't want to be reminded that it is).I liked how everything fit together--Josh's job, the crazy building he lived in with falling tubs and odd-ball residents.I really enjoyed this book. Sweet and funny. And of course, with a three-way, interesting to see how it all worked, sexually and emotionally and in practical everyday ways.
