H'mm - I saw this on a booklist and was intrigued by the setting (I'd been to Ogunquit for a week's vacation one summer, so was curious how my memories of the town meshed . . . nothing gibed specifically, but it was enough to bring back memories of the trip--as well as trips to Provincetown and Rhode Island). I was going to tag this as LGBT, but it's ultimately a bit of a tease--Danny and his coworker Hector have are-they-aren't-they interested vibe going and there's a similar is-he-isn't-he going on with Jack, Danny's dad. The ending comes on very quickly--the various plot complications are easily resolved. I agree with other reviewers saying it feels rushed.
