Tigers and Devils

A really good story and characters you could empathize with. I enjoyed the entire book. The only real down side to it was that I didn't like it too much when Simon would break the fourth wall. It doesn't happen that often, but I found it a bit cheesy.

The only part that kept me from giving this 5 stars was that I don't think I'll read this book again, at least not for a fairly long time. I liked the characters and could relate to them, but I just didn't fall in love with them.

3.5 stars. I liked the friendship between Simon and Roger as much as, if not more than the romance between Simon and Declan. The author does a good job of showing the complicated dynamics of two men who are lifelong best friends after one of them comes out of the closet. As for the romance, it starts out strong but then it gets bogged down in repetitive misunderstandings and miscommunications. At the end of the day I wasn't sure that Declan and Simon had grown or learned or changed enough that their relationship would survive in the long run.
