This book didn't grab me right away. It actually took me a couple chapters for it to latch on. Once it did, I found it to be a rather enjoyable read.At first I was confused as to why Vince would suddenly think he might be gay. But that does get addressed. He's 40ish and thrice divorced. Is he just choosing the wrong partners? Well, yeah, obviously. Turns out Vince isn't just in denial, he is so far in the closet he may have actually found Narnia.I love Trey's character. He's quite a bit younger than Vince, 25 or so, but he's had to be responsible for so much in his life he's pretty mature. He's had to give up so much to help with taking care of his alcoholic mom and he has given up hope of her getting herself together.  I think his anger is portrayed really well. He's not closeted, but he is a virgin. On purpose. That kind of threw me a bit, but I admire his conviction and I completely get not being comfortable with casual sex. And when he and Vince do start to get physical, it's sweet and hot and not what I expected.During Vince's road to admitting he is gay, I am so glad he had his sister Rachel -- I love her. She's very no nonsense. I think she made a very good sounding board.Overall, I quite enjoyed this story. I would have liked to know what happened with Trey's mom, though. That thread is left hanging.
