Review: Not What I Expected from the Preview

OK, this one just squicked me out. I did not understand from the preview that the younger character, Timmy, was always going to be referred to in terms which reinforced how young he was, and that Jasper was going to be the only man in the story. Yes Timmy is 20 years old so not a child, legally, but when the descriptive phrases always focus on his name in diminutive (Timmy, never Timothy or Tim) and his young age, it is hard to see him as a man. In fact I don't remember Timmy ever identified as a man. Young man repeatedly, yes. The relationship dynamics in this story was just too close to man/boy for me to feel comfortable.
