This is a cute story.  As a romance, however, I was disappointed.  The characters didn't feel emotionally invested in their relationship.  I wanted just once in the story to have them react to a challenge to their relationship by feeling something.One cool thing about this book.  There is an unwritten "rule" in genre fiction that if a race is not mentioned for a character, the character is white (this is actually just a symptom of our society and the assumption that "normal" means white, but especially in books about LGBT characters it is sometimes annoying to have cultural conditioning regarsing what is "normal" or "regular" so obvious).  If you read a lot of romance, you'll find that books that don't follow the rule are a bit surprising.  This author does not mention the race of a character unless it becomes an issue for the plot.  It is a nice change, and a good challenge to our default thinking, and she does address some racial and cultural issues.
