I loved this book. Unlike Ethan Mordden's "Buddies" series, which focuses on a group of gay male friends, this book focuses on one couple in a mixed lesbian and gay group. Jeff & Lloyd are defining relationships on their own terms, and it isn't always easy. I saw a lot of me in this book: of my struggle to define life and love on my own terms, especially while living in a world that barely acknowledges my right to love at all. Recommended? Hell yea!

I felt so gay reading this...and I loved it.
I think this was my first gay novel. Even though I could not really relate to any of the characters (aside from being gay), I found this to be a good summer read. It might seem a little soap opera-ish at first, but it really deals with a lot of relationship issues that could happen to anyone. .

I know that this book is like those films we love the first time we see them and then, on subsequent viewings, find them nearly intolerable. There is a sweetness that I took away from reading this book and I am not about to spoil it by rereading it and finding out that it is actually poor. Nope.

those who like really good gay literature
This is William Mann's first published novel. An interesting construction -- and story that rings true. Set in Boston and Provincetown MA he chronicles the change AID and HIV brought to the gay community. Great read!

A good tale about the pulse of Provincetown. Things I never knew... but, will always remember.
