Skyler = precious babe that doesn’t know himself well yet - accidental model - ace
Armand = semi functioning alcoholic - ex stripper - comic creator
Robin = caught up in his own crap - VERY self focused - possibly more talented than he realises
Lucas = emotionally manipulated - gymorexic - he needs protecting mostly from himself.

This book doesn't just follow one couples POV it fallows two couples! Four individual minds to know. 
I loved the premise. I loved the idea of two guys moving in together and never crossing paths. Lucas and Armand are so incredibly flawed and so supportive of each other. They have the best intensions at every turn but have a very VERY hard time getting over their own hangups. 

Down side: Lucas' breakup is intense, my partner interrupted me mid scene and it inadvertently caused a fight because Darren is THAT horrible.
