What were they thinking....

Please, Please don't trust the reviews that have been written for this book. This is one of the best books I have ever read. Trust me, I have read just about every type of fiction there is now. The writing was wonderful. And, most importantly the characters were so drawn out that by the end of the book I felt such an affinity to the plight of the characters hoping that eventually Greg Johnson may write a sequel....And, I have recommended this book to an avid reader like myself, and she loved it as well!!

It was like re-living entire phases of my life...

From the lasting effects of a Catholic upbringing to the trials and tribulations of growing up a gay male with a female best friend, this book hit so many nerves I feel as if I could have added some chapters and have kept perfectly in tune with Clifford and Janice. Both darkly funny and deeply touching, I've read the book six times and each time it rings truer than the previous read. On general principles Mr. Johnson has tapped into the difficulties and contradictions we all face when growing up and trying to sort out our identities and destinies. The characters could be your neighbors or even yourselves or your family members. A solid, wonderful read.
