I really loved this. I really liked Bo and I liked Eli, though not as much. But I loved them together. They were just really sweet and adorable. I think the plot is too busy. There's A LOT going on. Bo is a glass worker but also a musician! Eli is science guy but also a dancer! There's rape! There's murder! There's embezzlement! It's just like PICK ONE! I didn't really like how the after math of the rape was handled. Sure Eli cuts the guys out of his life, but he also takes too much of the "blame" on himself and mentally cuts them some slack. I liked the families of the guys. There's no real drama from them about the guys being gay. That's refreshing. My biggest issue with the book though, it's set in the US, with American guys. BUT SO MANY BRITISHISMS. It's such a pet peeve. We don't call cigarettes "fags". We don't say certain words. One of the terms for the equipment used in the glass work, isn't in the American dictionary, it only showed up when I switched to the UK version. But that aside. I still thought this was a sweet read that made me happy that the guys fell in love with each other.
