I really liked the writing in this book. Mac's voice was humorous and a bit self deprecating, but certainly without excessive angst. I have to admit that the characters themselves did not really grab me from the beginning. I mean they were cute, but just a tad blah for me. However as the story went on, I liked Mac and Drew and Jordan and Mac's dad and brother more and more. The narrative got more convincing as the story unfolded.I liked how main guys' insecurities and issues were dealt with in a convincing way - no magical solutions to their problems, but they were not reacting in a crazy way. Reviewer who recommended the book to me mentioned GFY undertones, and I was nervous I admit - my reaction at GFY these days is usually massive eye roll. I at least prefer that the guy had some repressed attraction to men, and not just had magically turning him gay overnight. In this story it is unclear whether Jordan was previously attracted to men, but I liked that "bisexual" was a word he was not afraid to say and I liked the uncertain way he was trying to figure out new possibilities his attraction to Mac showed him. I am not sure whether it was realistic, but for me it was believable enough.What I really really liked was how the guys reacted to what I call "mandatory romance separation". I liked that at least one of them was determined to do anything to not prolong it ;)I will certainly check this author's new stories out.3.5 stars rounded to 4
