I absolutely loved this book.  At the very beginning I wasn't so sure.  The number of times Liam said "I'm not gay" in the first few pages made me question whether I could get used to the writing style and enjoy the book, but I plugged on, and am sooooooo glad I did.  After the first few pages and the initial meeting of Liam and Jay the story just takes off and you become fully invested in the lives of these two wonderful men.  Jay is so sweet and he is so funny, I found myself lauging out loud more than once, and garnering a few sideways looks from my husband who had no clue what was so funny.  He has recurring cases of verbal diarrea (his words), which are hilarious. Liam is so confused, but his heart is huge and he knows he wants to share it with Jay.  He is just having trouble coming to terms with what it means for the rest of his life and family if he admits, even to himself, that he's gay.  His struggle felt real, and you really felt for him as he was working through everything.  The relationship developed slowly with these two, which I really enjoyed.  They became friends first, which you don't see often in this genre.  There was insta-feelings, but I wouldn't say this was insta-love.  They certainly felt deeply for each other, but it started out as a bond of friendship with lust stirring in the background, but not acted upon for months as they got to know each other. There was enough drama and angst to keep this interesting, but it wasn't a heavy book, if that makes sense.  It was thoroughly enjoyable, and I will certainly be looking for more from this author.
