I have always enjoyed this writer's narration imbued with a sense of humor. In this case, Owen's voice is engaging and absorbing as we get to know his awkward self, his family and two ex-lovers. The supporting cast of characters is a fun bunch. How wonderful if each gay man has such a loving and supporting family. Owen is a likable character but I could not help feeling sympathy for Keith, his recent ex-lover. The little scene where the two ex-lovers meet and Owen realizes how much Keith resembles Caleb, his first love, is comical. As in narration, the other characters' identities do suffer and in this case Caleb somewhat plays a supporting role, even to Owen's mother, whom the writer seem to have fun creating. The plot is simple and lighthearted as Owen's narration and his family keeps me entertained.
