Review: Glad that I gave this book a chance

I almost passed on this book, although it had an interesting premise, because the first chapter that I read as a sample couldn't hold my interest. Then I read a few positive reviews of the book and decided to give it chance...and I'm glad that I did. The book really picked up after Skip moves back to his hometown and runs into Paul, a former classmate, at the high school that he just starting working at. Skip had had a crush on Paul growing up and, despite his broken heart, can't help but renew his attraction to the other man after starting to work with him. Skip's mother is a delightful addition to the story, as well as Skip's sister Katie (everyone should have a sibling that is that protective and supportive in their lives), and his best friends Faith and Johnny. A minor character, Jinx, would make for an interesting main character for a future novel (thought I'd throw that in there in case the author reads this-hint, hint LOL). Definitely a book that I will reread in the future.
