Sweet, happy, gorgeous, fully developed...this is one of the best short stories I've read. Right from the beginning I felt that it was going to take its time, go slowly, and immerse me fully, and I was not disappointed for a second. It starts with sadness, and there are points that are nostalgic, but it's about moving on to a better future, and the story is really heart-warming.I love the title and how it relates, the photography information--I took a black and white film photography class in high school, and all of the cast of characters.Highly, highly recommended for when you want hope and smiles and warm chests. I really enjoyed this story. I don't know what it says about me, but I usually turn down books when the tag says no sex. I decided to read it anyway and I'm so very glad I did. First off it takes place in Columbus, Ohio, my hometown, and I love reading books where I can relate and visualize the places they are talking about and describing. Even if some of those places make me gag *cough* White Castle *cough*. As for the characters and the story, I enjoyed watching the development of Jacob and Elijah's relationship. Two guys both struggling to get back into the dating pool. Those early days when love is fresh and giddy, yet full of uncertainty. Even the secondary characters where enjoying to read about. I'd love to see a story about Evan and Robert. Over all a great read and it makes me realize that I'm missing out on a lot of great books when I toss aside books tagged as no sex. Thank you Amy for reopening my eyes.
