As the layers of the story are peeled back and the true nature of the characters and their intentions are revealed, I found myself murmuring an “awww”, something this author is known to inspire in readers.

This is a beautifully written sweet precious romance that has you smile and root for the two guys to come together. 

From the first word I was sucked into this unique and amazing story. Johnnie is such a fast and enjoyable read, with very little angst but enough heart and depth for me to fall in love.

Ben is funny, crazy, stupid, and so in denial that he could have been a parody of himself. The fact that he doesn't even in a book written in first person POV is almost a miracle. Watching Ben fight through all his conflicted feelings could have been an exercise in extreme frustration, but somehow isn't. That's the mark of a great story. When it could have been and maybe should have been crazy making but totally wasn't.

I really enjoyed how the relationship between the two progresses and the amount of love and friendship shown. Mitch is certainly one to have on your side, I thought he was brilliant. Simon proved that he was stronger than everyone thought (apart from Mitch) and to see his turnaround was wonderful.
