Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-13 00:00:00 James Gossett Audible 4,5 stars! It was like reading many books at once, having being introduced to so many different fates and so many different people in one place. It's why reading Lust Summer was like watching a soap opera, but I don't mean it negatively, not at all! The story takes place in Provincetown in Massachusetts, during summer time. You'll find many wonderful (and also not) characters: openly living gays and lesbians, gays in the closet, normal people and celebrities, as well as a transgender drag queen(who saves money for the last step), a seventeen year old teen who run away from his parent house after coming out. You'll see long-life lasted relationships and cheating-dramas, people who are on holiday and people who live in this small town, people with relationship problems and people with a mid-life crisis, losses and self-discovery, touching moments and a satisfied HEA for all participants. An enjoyable summer tale. I think, I've just read my second favorite novel by Michael Thomas Ford. I really very much enjoyed this book (audible) as well as a wonderful narrating by Blake Somerset. Highly recommended!

Review # 2 was written on 2011-08-09 00:00:00 Hosam Hajjir When handed this book and told it was a gay romance novel I admittedly thought great just what I dont want. Though being that I had nothing to do for several hours and my friend had kindly brought this book to me I figured what the hell. I am so glad that I did. So far from what I would call a romance novel. It is more a book that dives into the lives of multiple characters as the struggle with things very real to them. From the unfaithful partner and deciding to forgive or walk away, to a man transitioning into womanhood, two a boy who is outcast by his religious family when he comes out, to closeted characters being brought out and to one deciding if she should allow herself to have the baby that she so wants. This book is packed full of things that really make you think. What would anyone of us do in these situations? How awesome to find a book written of the gay life style that makes me proud to be gay. That reminds us that not all of us fit into the mold that society puts us under. We are real people with real issues struggling like everyone else to find our place and purpose in this world. I would recommend this book to anyone. I am looking forward to reading his other books.
