Trope-y and formulaic but enjoyable. Kind of wish there was more nuance in the religious plotline, as it feels like every religious family in a gay book has to basically be the Westboro Baptist Church, and this is so rarely the case, but whatever. So satisfying! Also: tattoos, and fairly effective and clearly researched depiction of a man with an eating disorder. Also: HOT.
(Oh and how much did I enjoy the depiction of the new military generation that doesn’t give a shit about someone’s sexuality as long as they do their job? This may be a bit of an overstatement and also it’s not that new, but the military in the age of legalized gay marriage and post-DADT is pretty interesting.)
(Also: women in gay books CAN be more than moms and the bff who makes sure you keep eating when you’re having a stress flare. Just saying.)
