I usually prefer longer reads, but Lily Velden manages to bring her characters to life in this short novella. They are real and well developed and just loveable. It's a joy to follow Jesse on his journey, literally and figuratively speaking. There is a depth in this story you rarely find in a book of this length.Miss Velden has a delightful sense of humour and more than once her descriptions and verbal exchanges made me laughing aloud. The sensual moments in the book range from sweet to steamy and are truly delicious to read.The cherry on the cake is Jesse's energetic grandma. Even though "Nan" only makes small appearances, I immediately took a shine to her lively nature.I couldn't put the book down once I've started and I'm sure other readers will be every bit as riveted by "Gay as Mardi Gras" as me.Definitely a new "must have" on your book-shelf and a new author to keep your eye on.
