Well this was a spectacular read. I've a new author to add to my ever lengthening list of favorite authors. Life of a book nerd , I'll tell ya, it ain't easy. So many brilliantly written books and so little time. (Damn the human life span.)Anyway...This is a story of self discovering, love, and acceptance. The writing was completely on point. It was hilarious when it needed to be funny. Cute when it needed to be. Beautiful basically with each sentence. I'm not exaggerating.The story is told in the perspective of William "Liam" Turner. I love Liam. His inner monologues about how he's trying to decipher the code of his attraction to James "Jay" was perfection. Liam isn't straight. He tried to fool himself. He tried to deny. He even date a few girls. One of them ended married and having the child of his brother, but that's neither here nor there, because Jay , beautiful Jay, has caught the attention of Mr. Turner.It's not until Liam misses his train that the two finally get to interact. The moment Liam converses with Jay he knows that this attraction that he feels for him , isn't going to go away. It's here to stay. Jay is such an endearing character, his little tirades are actually quite adorable. The fact that he can't shut up entirely , he's always talking is beyond adorable. Then bashers target and hurt Jay and in comes the noble knight Liam (also a woman who knows how to handle her purse and a rather strong elderly man) to his defense. From that moment their attraction turns to more into a romance, and Liam has to deal with "coming out" , his bigoted father, and being in a relationship.I love this book. Loved this story. The fact that one of Liam's brothers ends up with one of Jay's sisters was an added bonus too. I kind of , most definitely want to read about Chan's (forgot his name--- Liam's co-worker) brother. He sounds like a pretty damn good character . I just want more is all.You should definitely check out "The Blinding Light" , that was phenomenal.
