It was fine but likely just not for me. The characters are tiresome & infantile particularly as they were all or for the most part higher ed students or grads. Portions are written in an attempt at some sort of gender neutral pronouns which just had me rereading for clarity and eventually translating them for myself.

The story is told in a la di da fashion and things that do merit further consideration, mainly that two heterosexual men are in love but not in a sexual way, what that means, etc gets the Lifetime movie of the week treatment. The baddies exit stage left and the goodies join the cheer squad.

As always YMMV.

ps. In what I hope will become a regular feature for me I'll be reading (trying to read) a slew of things I somehow find on my bookshelves or reader. spoiler alert I bought them.
