I can't really do justice to this read. I'm a retiree from the horrible, grim, dreary UFC cage-stage that is heterosexual sex. Awful, boring stuff. I didn't pork teenagers voluntarily when I was one, either, because teenaged girls are Trouble with a capital Ohmyfuckingawd.
So a big part of the appeal of the tale sailed past me at a good clip. Armfield does manage to make the stage appealingly clever, and his credentials as a Dirty Old Man are not in any doubt.
I hope that, as he does more writing in the series, he spends more effort making the transitions less herky-jerky and the descriptive passages less obtrusively tonally different from the dialogue. (Translation: Dialogue is as important as description, work on it.)
For me, this is filed under Straight People Stuff and can safely be purged from my memories. So all of y'all straight people might like it very well, particularly men over 35 in long-term relationships.
