Josephine Myles is some kind of storyteller. She’s definitely not one you can pigeonhole into a specific category as she creates all manner of men. This time she brings us Jasper, a young man who has a problem. He’s afraid of the future and he clings to the past tightly. He hoards information. Knowledge that may one day be useful after the collapse of civilization. When he locks himself out of yet another room in his home, he finally realizes he needs help.Lewis and his sister are clutter cleaners. They help people deal with their hoarding problems and make them able to move on to less filled life to a more fulfilled one. Yet Lewis has issues of his own. One of them is Jasper, who he had a crush on when they were in school together and now they’re going to be thrown into proximity again. Lewis doesn’t want to repeat past mistakes, though. And he’s got a code that he’ll never get romantically involved with a client.There is a rich tapestry of characters here. I absolutely LOVED Lewis’s parents. They’re so funny and embarrassing and you just wish they were YOUR parents. You know, except for the whole nudity thing and the whole Mom sculpts weird things thing. Also there is Yusef. He owns the local coffee house and he’s got a few surprises of his own.When all is said and done, will Jasper be able to convince Lewis that they each deserve a chance to be together? Or will Lewis walk away and leave Jasper’s heart so much Junk?This review originally appeared at Mrs Condit & Friends Read Books
