Review # 1 was written on 2007-06-06 00:00:00 Linda L Vaughey Fiction. Not a love story, a break-up story. Blue, our narrator, is desperate and awkward, and I had a hard time feeling any sympathy for him while he bumbles around falling in love with men who don't really want him. And of course he handles that badly, making me want to shield my eyes from his messy neediness. Part of the problem is that we never really get to see Blue happy. The book starts at the end with his failures and then flashes back. We know any happiness he achieves is going to be short-lived. I suppose he learns from his mistakes, eventually, but we don't get to see that either. Two stars. The writing is great, and I really enjoyed the parts about Blue's family -- his eleven brothers and sisters, including his identical twin, Red -- but mostly this is a story about Blue being bad at reading people. I liked it a lot more when I was younger and loved wallowing in self-inflicted angst. These days I need a little more from a story. Or a happy ending. I would have totally accepted a happier ending.
