And one of his blog readers just might have the key to Ethan's happily ever after, sitelink amazon. com/dp This story is divided into three segments, two were formerly released as short books, and the third is new, Ill review each and then summarize the whole, And Im keeping this as spoilerfree as possible,

VGL Male Seeks Same:

This segment was really terrific, The selfdeprecating humor of MC Ethan was outstanding, In fact, there were so many times when I found it outright hilarious I laughed so hard I couldnt catch my breath, and thats just not something I normally do.
In general, I have a good sense of humor, but Im pretty reserved and rarely laugh out loud, Specifically, the first date scene outside the coffee shop when Ethan tipped the table over and then got carried away cleaning Brian up and then fell againonto one kneetotally cracked me up.
Talk about a suave first impression, Not!

The fact that both men were able to overcome their fabrications and accept each other for who they were made for an enjoyable story, and as the scene faded at the end of the first segment, it appeared the men would find a firm foundation.


NEG UB:

Ethan receives heartbreaking news as this segment opens, Hes so upset, in fact, he cant even pay attention to his doctor and has to go home to absorb the shock, Hes diagnosed as HIV positive, and though his heart wants to deny it, his head tells him it had to be Brian who infected him, Most of the story revolves around the internal and external clash that occurs because of this conflict, and the ending was a surprise, A happy one, but a surprise nevertheless,

STATUS UPDATE:

At fiftyone, lonely Ethan cant seem to cope with lifenot day to day at home and not day to day at work.
As those with a lot of time on their hands often do, Ethan turns to Facebook for his entertainment and socializing, There hes surprised by a friend request from a former receptionist who we met in the first segment of the book, Ethan used to call him Bubbles since he was a flighty, snarky, and flamboyant young gay man who seemed to spend most of his time gossipingoften about Ethan,

But as it turns out, this “new” Ben is not the same at all, and remarkably, it turns out

this new Ben may hold the key to Ethans future happinessonce Ethan accepts that people can change.


SUMMARY:

I really enjoyed this book! Tremendously funny, and yet heartbreakingly painful at times, the author takes us through an emotional journey that ends with a beautiful four letter word: HOPE.


Highly recommended!
