I enjoy her writing but the plot, bordering on melodrama, is just too angst filled for me. I could not really get into both characters. Jay is too young. Maybe I would have enjoyed the story more if Jay is older and a closeted gay man and not the vanilla character on the verge of discovering gay sex. Lincoln is a more complex character. I can share his pain but does the writer needs to make his life so miserable. This man has lost everything. It would be more justified if Lincoln is a "bad" guy. But Lincoln is not. And now for the parents. I notice that his writer likes parents to play a role. Nothing wrong with that except this is the 2nd time the parents are not potrayed in a favorable light. And they are a bit too melodramatic for me. Granted these parents are better than the one inMore. Then there is that little occurence which is just weird. Lincoln, 100% gay, getting aroused from a female apparition. What is this weird "phenomenon" ??Nothing against the writing but just do not like the miserable plot which I could not finish fast enough.
