Bookskoetter Review: 

This was a pretty good book!  It covers the somewhat controversial topic of homosexuality in a balanced and humorous way.  I will warn readers that it does contain some language and crude humor.  Personally, I didn't find those features offensive - in fact, it was often done in a light and funny way that added to the characterization in the novel. However, some readers may be offended.  I listened to this book on audiobook, which I felt was very well done!  I am impressed with how well the two authors of the novel teamed up to create an excellent story.  Each author writes in the voice of one of the two main characters.  I would recommend this book to those wanting a light, funny story (although there are some serious moments in the book), with a hopeful ending.
