3.5 stars for this nice short story. The story features cute, skateboarding Ollie and older Ben, in need of a kidney transplant. The medical issues are handled in a realistic manner and not glossed over. Both characters are engaging and as a couple, they just make sense, regardless of age difference...
This was a quick, sweet read. I did feel that Ollie fell for Ben maybe TOO fast, and didn't really understand what it was based on- a few minutes every day as he made deliveries?

I finally managed to tear myself away from the cover and read this. A fabulous story, but then I'd expect nothing less than fabulous from Jo. And now, I'm going back to staring at the cover. :)
I enjoyed the beginning of this, but by the halfway point, the main character had become tedious, the plot felt contrived and a bit too convenient, and the relationship was doing nothing for me at all. The most enjoyable aspect of the book was Ollie, but he's not explored nearly as much as he should...
