OMG I think this is, among all their books, the funniest of all. I mean, not only is the banter between the two MCs fun, but also their internal monologues, and the situations in which they are involved, including the meetings with the other members of the Queer Collective.

I liked how their relationship progressed, first as teammates, then as friends, then as fuck buddies and then, recognizing that there was much more between them than simply getting off each other and avoiding getting into trouble, and how both of them were growing up without lose their essence.

Also how both, due to their fears, had different ways of seeking comfort, Miles with his "pets", as ridiculous as this was. And even then, one can't help but make sense of his love for inanimate objects. And Bilson, escaping from a city believing that this way he would escape his problems, and seeking refuge in his friends and ultimately, in Miles.

Also how the two lived denying their identity. Bilson, for being too oblivious and for never looking beyond what he might feel for someone other than a woman, and Miles, for fear of rejection from his family.

I really, really loved this story. It has the characteristic stamp of these two authors, and certainly does not disappoint. I want more of this!

I was given an advanced copy and voluntarily wrote a review.
