Review: It's like a sunny and 75 breezy day in Southern California.

This is a well-written story with no angst/drama between the two MCs, all the drama and angst comes from outside their relationship and are resolved fairly quickly. It's easy to get a "feel" on the MCs as individuals from the beginning: Jeremy lives a chaotic life with fake people, but wants a stable force in his life and a real friend while Reggie lives a simple life, but wants to travel. They are the perfect solution to each other's situation. The people you meet in Jeremy's life makes you realize how lucky he was to meet Reggie, and when the sexual undertones crop up, it makes you root for them as a couple because you know Jeremy likely won't find happiness without Reggie. I am not, generally, a fan of GFY stories, but the likely reason given as to why Jeremy didn't realise before now that he liked men is plausible enough that I didn't look too much deeper into it and ruin the story for myself. There are some sickeningly sweet moments, as some reviewers have pointed out, and some truly hot moments that make this an easy and enjoyable read that I will re-read. Considering it took one of the MC awhile to realize he was into men, you don't get anything truly sexual until over 60% into the story and no actual sex until about 80% into the story. Overall, this is an easy and relaxing story that is enjoyable to read. Recommend.
