This was a fun read and I hadn't expected it to have such a madcap element. I liked the characters and there was a lot of wisdom in the narrator when he talked about growing up gay and about his loneliness and his writing career. It had a rom com type sub plot which worked well for me. There were sexually explicit scenes but they didn't feel gratuitous or gross. A fun read with underlying serious messages.

I enjoyed reading this - it was funny and a bit ridiculous, but had a serious message about loneliness and how success can go up and down in life. The characters of Daniel and Stacey were brilliant. The ending was unexpected - partly melodrama and partly sentimental, so a little bit disappointing. to me for some reason. I think it would make a great comedy movie.
