Darwin is secure in his job, loves living in Denver, and figures he has dated at least half the available gay men by now. He should be happy to continue exploring his options, it’s what all his friends tell him to do, but it isn’t what he wants. Then he meets Cody and he just knows there is the potential for more between them than with any other man Darwin as ever dated. But how is he supposed to be sure?
Cody has serious self-confidence issues, and after what he has been through in the tiny town he grew up in, that is totally understandable. His experience with sex is way ahead of his understanding of dating, intimacy, and emotions. Cody knows he wants a man to love, but he can’t see himself as “worthy” or even “interesting” enough to ping Darwin’s radar. He is awkward in his approach, but his innocence and curiosity shine through.
Cody and Darwin have far to go, but the road they travel together is moving and heartwarming. I was a little exasperated with both of them in turns, but they are so charming, separately and together, that I kept rooting for them. Then there are the secondary characters, some of whom, to my utter delight, are from ‘Under a Sky of Ash’, one of my all-time favorite Brandon Witt novels. ManDonna makes an appearance, and so do some others, and that made me very happy.
If you like stories about young adults just beginning to figure out what life and love are all about, if you want to see respect, trust, intimacy and love develop between them right before your eyes, and if you’re looking for a novella-length read that is so well plotted and has such depth that it feels more like reading a novel, then you will probably like ‘Nachos and Hash’ as much as I do. I loved it from beginning to end and am already looking forward to the next installment!
