I received How I Met Your Father in exchange for a fair and honest review.This was a fun one. The characters were fun, the situation was fun, the scenarios that the characters were placed in were fun… it was just plain fun!I loved the inner dialogue that Justin was having with himself in the opening scene. I knew from the start that he was going to be someone I liked. I wasn’t sure about Jack at first, but the more I got to know him the better I liked him. He was sure of himself and knew what he wanted. That turned out to be one of my favorite character traits about him by the end of this story.Justin wan’t exactly in the closet, but he kept his sexual preferences to himself. The more time he spent around Jack, the harder that became to ignore and hide his feelings. There was a lot happening in this story and everything going on around Jack and Justin just added to the humor and the inevitable slip ups. I loved how this story unfolded and the banter between the characters made it a quick and easy read. Perfect for a little Holiday escape.The only real complaint I have about this one is that I wanted more. Less than 100 pages wasn’t nearly enough time spent with this lively crew. It also wasn’t enough time to find out how everything worked itself out. Everything moved from ‘Point A’ to ‘Point B’ way too fast. That’s a minor issue though and one that I often have with novellas. Especially if they are centered around characters that I really like. It’s definitely worth picking up and not just for the entertainment value. 20% of the proceeds go to the Ali Forney Center in NY.
