I love the style, I love the characters, I love the humour. I also like the fact that the love was unconsciously built over years of small & distant interactions.This said, it feels a bit rushed at the end, or maybe I just wanted more, more more! I liked Con and Wes very much:- Wes, confident but with dating skills that are a bit rough due to lack of use (since his kindergarten daughter was born), though he had excellent bed skills (obviously no lack of use). This is a Lanyon that should have been longer, or where there should have been no love declaration. "I really like you and want to date you seriously" should have been more adequate.- Con, the good, serious boy, passionate about his teacher's job, dedicated to his post grad studies, dedicated to his family (aunt and ill mother), well balanced with good friends and a good social life. But unlucky in love so far.And the sex was very short but HOT. I hope it's not the last time we'll hear from Con and Wes. Hopefully, Josh Lanyon will carry on with the Christmas Codas and there'll be one about them, especially since Wes said his daughter will spend Christmas at her maternal grandma's who lives in another town.I Liked the kindergarten rules:Share everything.Play fair.Don't hit people.Put things back where you found them.Clean up your own mess.Don't take things that aren't yours.Say you're sorry when you hurt somebodyWash your hands before you eat.Flush.Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.Live a balanced life-Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work everyday some.Take a nap every afternoon.When you go into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.Be aware of wonder.
