Clayton Graham's depictions of slow acceptance, self-conscious worry, and paranoia regarding homophobic reactions, are all masterful, and as Corey's story collides with realities of HIV/AIDS, Graham's narrative becomes a sort of coming-of-age story which is compelling.
The book does, undoubtedly, have faults. Corey's character is so awkward and self-conscious as to be more annoying than engaging, particularly while readers are still getting used to him. Similarly, the dialogue in much of the book is stilted, only more so when combined with Corey's over-the-top formalities. Still, as a sort of coming of age tale focused on the psychology of a man who can barely admit to himself who he is, let alone to others, the book shines with a simple beauty and appreciation for life.
