Review: Pollyanna-ish in extremis

It would appear that I am swimming against the tide of all the others who have read this book, but as a frequent consumer of M/M fiction and romance novels, this one was just ok for me.  The initial three fourths of the book just coast along as a cute love story, with no real tension, no major plot twists or turns, and an unbelievable "isn't life wonderful" resolution to each character's (minor) dilemmas.  In the last portion of the book the author throws in a major monkey wrench for excitement, and everything becomes maudlin (others have said bittersweet.)  'Just not very believable, and I too lived (and loved) through the same period covered in the story…it just didn't ring true.
