In the last ten years or so, we've become used to seeing gay couples portrayed on tv, but they're usually shown in a lovable, humorous way - perhaps because humour is less threatening. In The Picture of Cool, author Laurie Boris carries us a huge step forward by portraying a gay couple as loving, sensual PEOPLE.I'm female, and straight, but I fell in love with Charlie as a person back in 'Don't Tell Anyone'. After reading this novella about his life away from the family, I want to bake him a cake to make it all better. Why? Because love hurts, and we all know how that feels. But there is always hope, and mine is that there will be a sequel to Charlie's story very, very soon.
