My Review:This is a sweet little book about the complete build-up to the beginning of a relationship. Tavio knows Tommy from the coffee shop he works in. Tommy has come in every day for a year, flirting with Tavio.Tommy is that guy...you know, nerdy and geeky, completely exuberant about life to the point that he tends to be annoying to those around him. He's loud. He talks to anyone in the vicinity. He loves Star Trek and most the time Tavio simply doesn't know what to do with him or take him.Tavio is the complete opposite of Tommy. He's quiet and withdrawn. He observes the world, doesn't take part in it. He has some issues from his years in the military. And over time, he's become intrigued by Tommy.The book is such a non-romance in the traditional sense. It's told entirely from Tavio's POV and you can see Tommy slowly building up to asking him out for a date...something that obviously terrifies this guy who doesn't balk at anything. That in itself makes Tommy such an endearing guy. You can see how much both these guys want this, but they just aren't sure how to approach things. From the way it read, I don't think Tavio has much experience and Tommy has built this up in his mind so huge over this year that now he's scared. It means too much.It's simply one of those books that you walk away from with a smile on your face. Sweet. That one word describes this story...it was just really sweet.
