I never really liked Paul but he was an interesting character. I was hoping for more development in this book, but it fell flat. We were told what happens to Paul when he was in high school but we weren't given enough time to feel his pain. Everything got back to the present day and worked itself out far too quickly. I'm glad I understand him more and it was fun seeing Sebastian, Brad, and Toby again but other than that it I had very little connection to Paul or even Trevor for that matter.

Paul is a porcupine, very prickly and abrasive, I know he has his reasons but it still took a bit for me to like him.
I did feel for him with what his Highschool boyfriend, and I use that term loosely, did to him, literally outing him and leaving him to suffer the consequences.
Trevor was a jock, with dreams of a pro ball future and he was a teenager, so it was understandable that he didn't react as he must have wished he did, given age and maturity.
He comes back into Paul's life and grovels, I ...more

Paul was Sebastian's not-so-nice roommate in Frat Boy and Toppy. He has been hurt in love and to say that he doesn't do relationships or doesn't like jocks in an understatement. His experience with both has left much to be desired, so he avoids them like the plague. Then in comes Trevor, the new softball coach. Trevor happens to be Paul's high school boyfriend and the guy who broke his heart. He has come back to try a relationship with Paul again, but his apologies and amends are useles ...more

Not as good as the first book, but still very, very entertaining. The resolution of the central relationship was a bit too quick for me, making it seem somehow shallow. I felt that the guys needed more time to work through the trust issues and get to know each other again. However, I liked them both - yes, yes Paul included. I adored his voice - snarky and neurotic - especially when the reason for his prickliness was revealed. His "hypothetical" and roundabout explanations were hilariou ...more

At the beginning I really didn't like Trevor! I thought it would be very difficult to redeem himself, but it worked out well. It was understandable that Paul would need a little time to figure stuff out and I was okay with his 'fit' after sailing. I now can't wait for Toby's story! ...more

Fun, short story about Paul who has a rather aloof, snarky outlook on life. His thoughts and musings made interesting reading though it was a bit too short for it to feel that all the hang ups and problems he had to deal with regarding Trevor had been fully resolved.
