pause_theframe's review against another edition

This book is an acquired taste. This is purely due to the topic and pure honesty that the author has approached. It is written very well and is truly quite interesting and exciting.
I liked the rough honesty, with which the author approached this book. He chose to represent the love, life and adventures of a man, as he travelled through his personal, and often sexual, experiences. The honesty comes in with the raw emotion and the brutal ways in which some things go wrong. I am a fan of the fact that not everything goes to plan in the read; it makes it real.
I felt the characters were well developed. They had clear personality and thoughts. They stuck to their feelings and beliefs, even if it meant that it could hurt them.
I also liked that the author went into depth about the experiences and emotions that came as a result of those experiences. I think it really made the read feel raw and quite real. This made it very easy to get stuck in and want to continue reading.
Overall, this is a good read. It is unique and may not be for everyone, but read the whole thing and you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality and emotion.

choirqueer's review against another edition

Exactly as advertised: a butch dyke gardener and a genderqueer librarian have a whole lot of sex! Sometimes they do other stuff, but mostly they have sex. It's not always the most exciting sex to ME, but it's definitely the most exciting sex to the characters (and is likely very exciting sex to a lot of people who would want to read this book) and I enjoyed it on the level of a reader enjoying when characters are having a great time!

Frank, delightfully debauched, detailed and charmingly grumpy, this is a bit of an erotic stream-of-consciousness novel about two older queers, one butch and one genderqueer, who fuck and fall in love in modern San Francisco. In some ways this one didn't feel super well-plotted, more like a person's oral memoir, but it's such an interesting life and so refreshing to see characters with joyfully complicated gender and sexual identities embracing their changing bodies and changing lives with unapologetically hot sex and intimacy. I really liked this one.
