Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.Rating: 8/10PROS:- I was amused right from the start, because Boone's reaction in the first scene is the opposite of what I would expect a guy to feel in his situation. He wakes up with no memory of the night before, and instead of being pleased with himself that he apparently slept with a very hot guy, he's scowling and cursing the guy because Boone has a sore backside and a visible hickey.- The narration throughout is dry and funny: "at least I'd moved beyond the undecipherable squeaky noises that had sounded eerily like a dolphin on crack." And some of the things Boone does are strange and alarming, but always in an amusing way.- It sort of took a while for Wade to grow on me, but I liked him a lot by the end of the story. He's thoughtful and considerate of Boone, and he says a lot of little things to him that are incredibly sweet.CONS:- The ending is believable and appropriate when considered in the context of the rest of the story. And it isn't terrible or sad or anything; it just wasn't what I wanted to happen.- I got a little confused by the timeline a few times. For some reason I had a hard time figuring out whether I was reading about the present (well, it's in past tense, so the "simple past," I guess I should say) or a flashback.Overall comments: This is certainly worth reading if you're looking for something funny and light-hearted. There's a good amount of sex in the story--several scenes, and it's not very long--but there's not much else going on besides the guys' relationship, so the sex wasn't at all distracting for me.
