Just finished Afterglow by Phil Stamper. It has the same huge problem as the first one: The voices of all the main characters are identical and you can’t tell them apart, despite the chapter headings. I enjoyed it, but I really wish there was more adult books for gay men, especially ones like these two books that deal with friendship and life and realistic queer relationships.
