Review: A New York Love Story
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 21, 2012
This book is the funniest I've read in ages. As others have said, it lacks believability, but I tend to not care about that if the characters are very strange themselves and New York City is the location. Besides it was so damn funny!The tension between the protagonists is blunted by the dumb-lug sweetness of Doug who turns out to be just what the doctor ordered for the bitter Steven.The incremental changes in Steven are so true to his character that I cried when they tenderly appeared through the book. This odd couple will hopefully steal your heart as it did mine. I sometimes flashed back to "Midnight Cowboy" from a few lifetimes ago.
