So I thought about rating this one three stars while noting that if it had been a book about straight people, it would be only two stars, but it's great that we've got at least one gay main character.

But then I thought about it, and what is there to this book? There is zero substance. The beginning excited me as there's a set up of rivalry in a work environment, but there is no chase and within a few chapters there is a romance. And it's oh. so. gosh. darn. predictable.

There were so many opportunities for discussion--like maybe the fact that pansexuality and bisexuality are things??? that sexuality can be a spectrum and you don't have to fall into nice neat boxes???--that were just completely ignored. Instead, there were a lot of people that were boxed up and had labels put on them. (Can we talk about Cassidy and her best friend? What's that all about? Can we get some context for this girl's history, or is she just a stray?)

So yeah. It's GREAT that we've got a gay couple. Everything else? Not worth my time. The more I think about this, the less I'm impressed by this book. You know, I think I'm going to one star this because lesbians aren't all nymphomaniacs banging in bar bathrooms. And that's the impression this book gives.… (altro)
