It began in a scene that reminded me very much of Queer As Folks, but then inside twenty pages the story subverted that trope and became something else.I think the title should have been different. It gives you the wrong idea. This isn't a story about a sophisticated Brit picking up a naive American country boy. It's about one guy who didn't know what he needed and tried his best to pretend he wanted something else and about another guy who finds he understands this stranger better than he thought possible. It's about loneliness and then through surprising good fortune meeting the one person who could really take it away.It's sweet and engaging.
