Wedding Season (Beach Reading)
Summertime and the reading is easy, especially with Abramson's fifth Beach Reading novel, featuring old friends Tim Snow; his hunky boyfriend, Nick; Tim's Aunt Ruth; and Tim's Mom. Wait! Tim's Mom isn t a friend she appears in an opening nightmare bedeviling our hero, and, like an avenging Norn, permeates Tim's waking and sleeping thoughts throughout the novel. Reality TV harpy Rosa Rivera is keen to sponsor a gay wedding contest in Arturo and Artie's restaurant. Nick and Ruth's boyfriend, Sam, are talking marriage, and indeed, the whole world (the Castro) is rife with wedding bells, warm hearts, and cold feet. But keep an eye on the homeless lady wobbling through this idyllic tale: Why is Aunt Ruth so suspiciously solicitous? --Lavender Magazine
