This was like reading a diary. The alternating POV's did very well. While Tucker telling his story more angst-driven, Whit telling his story more laid back. It fits the personalities of both of them. What I disliked :It started good actually. The writing is so emotional. And then at 53% I just lost ...

4.5 stars I really didn't know what to expect from this read. This is a new author to me and added to that: it's a short story with a very familiar trope: two young men with an immediate attraction, one is out the other isn't, it doesn't work out for obvious reasons, they part, they get back togeth...

While it was also too short for the characters to be very well develope...

The Downtown is all of 4 blocks in length. A town small enough to grasp the residents living there either know each other or know of eac...

2.5 starsThis book was consistent with what was promised in the blurb. Tucker and Whit were "together" in college 10 years ago, and reunite when Tucker comes back to town for his 10 year reunion.I chose to read this because I loved the concept. I was a little disappointed with how it was handled. ...

I liked this story very much. I enjoyed the fact that Tucker was so torn over his actions and his feelings for Whit. I loved how Whit was so 'confident' according to Tucker but really admitted is was because of Tucker. But what I liked most about it is that Whit made Tucker realize what he was missi...
