Luke Hartwell has become my favorite contemporary author. He writes each of his books or stories in first person POV, and each is very unique. There's nothing else out there like these books. This book does not have the sexual content of Hartwell's other books (it does have some), but is one of his most beautiful stories and has some of his best writing. I love this one.

This is Hartwell's first book and is his masterpiece. Not for everyone, but for a lot of people it will become one of your favorite books. I was hooked on Hartwell after reading this one, and his other books have never disappointed me.

I am all for bisexual m/m romance being empowering, but the problem here is that the character gets all the way to the end, makes the right decision, but his thinking is all wrong: he isn't bisexual. In fact, that's what makes the book so frustrating--throughout the entire story, John keeps protesting that he isn't a gay man, but he is. At every turn, the story opens him up to a very normal and healthy gay man's sexuality, but he sees it as simply being Nathan-sexual, which isn't the case. I expected that to be the revelation at the end: he realizes he fits into a category cleanly after so long denying that category--but even at the end, he still doesn't get it. While I can see that such an ending will make the "screw labels" crowd cheer, it doesn't make sense, logically, given the events of the story.… (more)
