I very much enjoyed this book. It was very well written and the author captured well the pathos of a thirty year old gay man, still living at home, without ever having had a romantic attachment and with a string of unsatisfying jobs.  I struggled in my twenties, myself, trying to figure out what to do with myself both personnally and professionally and I could relate well to many of the main character's struggles. By the end of the book I found myself really pleased with his progress and the fact that there will be a sequel out soon so that I can continue to look in on his personal growth.The author has a blog and it is very well put together. This is the author's first novel and through his blog he gives good insight into his creative process. I found it very interesting.I found this book on Amazon putting in the search "gay romance" into the search engine.  It is not a romance complete with sex fest so if you are looking for that, best look elsewhere. Do not hold the author accountable for your disappointment if you were looking for romance and instead found a coming of age type novel, complete with angst, character flaws and less than beautiful and perfect male characters. However, if you enjoy a well crafted piece of gay literature, then you have come to the right place.
