I didn't have huge expectations with this story from the start as it was only short and I know not to expect much from books this length, but I was pleasantly surprised. Mainly it was the writer's exceptional story-telling ability that kept me hooked and I found myself enjoying it very much. I only have one criticism which I will list here. It's a *spoiler* so if you haven't yet read this and intend to cease reading now....I felt that Jonah's lie about his 'boyfriend' that didn't exist was very small compared to the things that Laurie was concealing i.e. firstly the conversation he'd had with Marcus giving him permission to pursue Jonah and then the stuff that happened with Travis. I just felt in the end that the author wanted to have the climactic moment, but having both of these things as issues just made it a bit much. I felt that Laurie took too much offence to Jonah's very small white lie (which he admitted earlier he knew was a lie anyway) and then tried to make too light of his own deception. Other than this issue, I very much enjoyed the story.
