As the adult child of an alcoholic, there were some rough moments with this book for me, even as I enjoyed reading Kevin and Hank's love story. The explanation of Hank's reluctance to show his prior bf (Kevin's best friend) that he didn't know how to do something, rather than figure it out himself, certainly rang true of boneheaded male behavior, and Kevin's shitty roommate situation leading to their moving in together certainly helped progress the plot. If you think you might enjoy reading about a blue collar gentleman learning how to court the skittish friend of his ex, this is the book for you. 

I received a free copy of this book from the author and am posting my honest review.
