I enjoyed Promises more than this one. It was hard to get past the alternating pov/tense changes. I think that was to help differentiate between voices but it was quite clear without doing that. The other thing they really got me was Angelo's way of thinking. Loosing every g in ing words even in prose was distracting for me. Same for 'round and 'bout. It slowed up the story enough for me that I spent too much time being angry over that. Those things aside, I enjoyed the story. It was a good plot. And while the characters drove me nuts sometimes... I like that too. Most people do as well! Definitely recommend. Would've been another four star if not for the pov issues I had. Book #2 in the Coda SeriesI really waited too long to write up my review - but here's what stands out for me almost 2 months later. Zach starts out by being someone who just doesn't give much of a shit. He didn't care about his education, he didn't care about his relationship with Jonathan. He doesn't care about his career. He coasts through life. He really doesn't care about his so-called relationship with Tom, his landlord except that being with Tom gets him a break on rent and occasionally laid. That changes once he gets close to Angelo. Caring for Angelo gives him a reason to care about everything else in his life. Caring for Angelo helps him build new friendships with Matt & Jared. People he probably would have let fall by the wayside if he wouldn't have had Angelo to help him give a shit about life in general. He even begins to build a new friendship with Jonathan and Cole.I like the way he and Angelo help each other grow. They each have issues and being with each other helps them become better men.
DNF --- couldn't get through this. Zach... not for me. :(
