review 1: A hook up that kept Chris thinking about Josh for six months since the night he met the young boy before Chris left for Afghanistan.I really admire authors who feature characters with disability mainly because it somehow shows how creative they are in developing their characters and how they would mold the plot to reflect the challenges they face everyday. I am yet to read a book with this kind of theme that I didn't like.I would've wanted to read more about how Chris and Josh's relationship would progress but it was an enjoyable read overall.
review 2: This was cute. The writing is superb. The author has this distinct voice that I really like. I enjoyed Chris' perspective, in that he wasn't bitter. He seemed to have gotten to acceptance and was dealing with th
... moree circumstances in which life positted him. However, I felt that more of a struggle would have been more realistic and would have served the story better. But then there simply wasn't room in this short story for more emotional states, whatever these would have been. And I guess that would be my criticism. I felt that this was too short for the wealth of material that the author chose to make use of here. It could still have been a short story with the inclusion of a little more depth and range in Chris' story and some more of the two MC's characters being together, which we are just summarily told at the end in a round about way.That said, wanting more is a compliment. These two characters are fantastic. I just wanted the story to do them better justice. less

Great short(!) story crammed with characters. Enough going on for a much longer book.

I liked this sweet and short M/M romance but I wish that the story was longer :)
