• An amazing novel, I wish I had found this author years ago, truly enjoyed the story and the characters, hope his other novels are equally as good.

• Arrived very fast and in great condition. No dommages to the book and it's in a big format. The story is captivating from the beginning. Highly recommended.

• Having just completed all 400+ pages of this engaging slice of life for these quirky, yet compelling, characters I can only hope the author has a follow-up lined up for Josh, Ben, Ted, Toby, Emmeline, Jackie, Reilly, Reid, Ty, and company. With a cast of characters this large, it takes a while to introduce everyone. When you think you have the whole gang memorized Toby arrives on a bus from Missouri, escaping his homophobic family he had just come out to. The story pretty much centers on Josh, who find himself in the all to believable position of being too comfortable in his eight-year relationship with Doug. Josh, being the moral guy many people only dream of, finds himself in turmoil when Doug admits to a one time fling with someone from his gym. Josh launches the brilliant tale by escaping to Provincetown from Boston, hurt and confused and appropriately bitter. Ever the compulsive nurturer, Josh finds himself in a Laundromat waiting on some one to remove their clothes from the dryer so that he can use it. Not willing to wait, Josh removes the clothes, folds them as neatly as any Gap employee could hope to, only to have Reilly enter to claim the clothes, and his heart. The only problem is that Reilly is straight and about to be married to Donna later that same summer. Enter Jackie, turning 40 and alone after a long relationship. Emmeline, an aging pre-op transgender who adopts Toby, and eventually her aging Mother who mysteriously makes Emmeline's biggest dream possible. You have Ty and Reid, handsome movie star and producer who escape to Provincetown to be with one another in a way that they cannot do in Hollywood. By the end of the novel you have a deep fondness for each of the characters. And you truly hate to see it end, although the author makes this ending a true delight. You don't feel cheated. There are some characters that could have been left out. While I enjoyed reading about Marly's struggle of whether she should have an affair or not, she wasn't necessary in the book. This really was a wonderful ride.

• I enjoyed this book. A number of different and interesting lives trying to find happiness. Not like some gay themed books which are simply boy girl love stories converted to boy boy love stories, this book examines the essence of gay life. Interesting and seemingly persona!.

• I bought this book some years ago as a present for my partner who is an avid reader of books. I seldom find the time these days to read books - I find it difficult enough getting through the newspapers each day - but picked up this book just before Christmas when I didn't have much to do. I couldn't put is down. A great read - appealing and interesting characters, and a happy ending.
