An excellent story, well written and engaging. Characters and situations that are perhaps a little too perfect, but the story flows well and is hard to put down.Paul is an innocent, perhaps naive, as is Gilles and in many ways their love is innocent, but still very sexy, although there are really no graphic sex scenes which suits the tone of this story.An engaging gay love story with only a tiny amount of homophobia thrown in to add a small reminder of reality.Joyous and sad, beautiful and brief, friendship and love. If you have loved and lost while still in love, this will be a bitter-sweet read.
