Coffee Boy

I liked this a lot. I liked it a surprising amount, especially considering that I do not like age differences in my romance - especially not twelve years difference. But I liked it. A lot.

Kieran is a compelling character - and fun with his general ‘I hate the world' vibe he has going on. Kieran isn't universally out, passes as female at his ‘main' job and ... I just... I like the fact that he has long hair that he likes. I'm amused by the fact that he cultivated such a Mean Girls persona in high school. He's just...really fun.

Seth is... Honestly? Someone I super relate to. He comes from a different generation than Kieran. And I like that he's a bisexual that didn't realize he was bisexual when he was a teen. I like the fact that his immediate response to being called ‘queer' is a wince. I like that that is something that shows the difference in Kieran and Seth's generations as something that a lot of people from either generation would immediately understand. Seth is also such an awkward sweetheart.

And, finally, this is probably way too much of a character breakdown for what is, essentially, a short, sweet romance. (And with surprisingly hot foreplay for a sex scene.) (And I edited out probably half of what I had originally written for this review.)
