l love menage romances & this is a good one. The drama is fairly low, mostly family-ish type & not necessarily menage related but more about the individuals themselves.
First we have Eden, who burns her apartment down while trying to cook pancakes. Learn to cook is #66 on her bucket list. She has a list of things she wants to do before she is 25, which she has been working on since she was 16. That was when she did some family geneology & discovered that every woman in her direct line, going back generations, died during their 25th year of a variety of accidents. This makes her certain she will never attain that age so she makes no long term plans (like nursing school) and forms no ties with anyone. When a couple sexy firemen offer her a place to stay she begins to rethink not forming any ties
Then we have Matt, who is carrying the mother of all grudges against his father. His dad came out as gay about 8 years prior & divorced Matt's mom. Matt hasn't spoke to him since & is homophobic as a result. He unloads this on Eden, who doesn't respond well to it, calls him a dick and decides to move out because she can't deal with his bigotry. For whatever reason this is the wake up call Matt needs & he takes what she said about his attitudes and begins to change them. All I can think about this is "Wow, that was easy. too easy? Maybe?" He begins speaking to his dad again & re-establishing a relationship with him & his partner. He drops the homophobic language. He realizes he's actually attracted to his best friend Johnny. Threesomes with Eden reinforce this.
Johnny had it together the whole time. His angst was being attracted to his homophobic friend Matt & having to keep it to himself. He slept with Eden on day one & encouraged her to sleep with Matt as well. Johnny is all for a threesome relationship & thinks Eden is perfect for them.
They work through the bucket list, deal with Eden's "I'm going to die any day now" angst, deal with Matt's grudge, deal with Johnny's fear of turning Matt against him, and come together in a stong relationship.
I really liked the book. My only real issues were Matt getting over his homophobia so easily, I really think more angst would occur in that situation, and Eden being such a pathetic cook she sets her kitchen on fire making pancakes. Sorry but if you aren't smart enough to realize they have to be flipped, probably you shouldn't be allowed to live without regular supervision. Only deliberate, willful ignorance explains that level of lacking common sense .
