...Did anyone happen to notice that the author had the characters swimming in an outdoor pool in late autumn IN BOSTON?!  That MIGHT (probably) be because the author is from Australia where Christmas is a SUMMER holiday.  Oops.  And that's not the only mistake.  There are grammatical mistakes throughout the text, even though a person is clearly named as the editor of this book.  And some of the phrasing is clearly not of the American vernacular (going to "university" instead of "college," for example).Those are my major complaints, and why I gave the book 4 instead of 5 stars.As for the story, I enjoyed it very much.  Mark is a fabulous character.  So humorous and caring and full of life, yet completely clueless when it comes to love and relationships.  I enjoyed hearing Mark's narration and his internal dialogues about these strange feelings he keeps having concerning Will.  He's so completely blind, he doesn't realize he's fallen in love with Will even when Mark becomes physically ill due to emotional overload.  Thank goodness he had Carter and Isaac to give him a clue!And thank goodness the author chose to bring us plenty more of Carter and Isaac because they just make me smile.  I so appreciate the normalcy of their relationship.  So in love and affectionate, especially Carter.  What a treat to be a "witness" to their nuptials, and then to be present when Isaac give such a beautiful toast to his beloved husband at their wedding reception. My eyes definitely teared up at that moment.Great epilogue.  Won't give any specifics away except to that it's three years in the future and Mark and Will are in a surprising yet happy place.  Loved it.  :-)P.S.  The cover photo of "Mark" is spot-on.  Good job!
