Ever read a book that you just WISH were turned into a movie? That's exactly how I felt about this book that kept me up for several nights and made me fall in love with a group of gay boys I'd love to have as friends any day!

I started the book a couple of months ago but stopped after 30 pages. Back then, I thought, who so many character names to remember for the first time and I couldn't got my head wrapped to it quickly. Then, I thought to start again. Boy, once I started, I couldn't stop. This story is very character driven -- it is easy to grasp the names after all -- and they are not two-dimensional characters. Jamie meets Ben in a wedding part where -- as strangers, they kissed inside a closet -- but Jamie has More...

This is a choral book. It's a very long and full of characters book, so take a good handful of patience, get comfort and start reading. And be aware to have plenty of time ahead of you, cause I think you will not want to drop it off until you finish it.

Jamie is a good guy. Englishman in San Francisco and gay. Perfect. He has plenty of choice when he needs to get laid. Dune, for example, the ever present and "naked" friend he can always rely when needs a date. Dune is a " More...

Beautiful! A sweet romance that includes carefully well-developed characters and touches several important topics, without ever making them the central idea of the story, but delivering the message anyway.

I thoroughly enjoyed this exploration into the life of two men, one an artist and the other a chef (who is also an artist in his own field!). I had to look up what the title meant - an artistic term about the distribution of light and dark - and thought it fit perfectly with the storyline. I loved the characters not only Jamie and Ben but their mutual friend, Dune. It was both funny and sad (I love angst so that was right up my street), hit all the right notes and had a most satisfying ending. More...

I found this book to be entertaining. The <spoiler> constantly recurring Micah seemed really forced, with the best friend bringing back the boy who broke his heart and the descriptions of sex with the side characters got old fast </spoiler>. I liked the main characters for the most part.
