This book follows Jake Denver, wannabe filmmaker—at least, he's a wannabe until a guy from his class approaches him with an idea for their final project.

This is the beginning of a lifelong friendship. It's Jake and Roe, his best friend, and their lives together. They go into filmmaking business together, inextricably tying their lives together, but it's more than that. They both have their girlfriends, but they're each other's BFFs. Roe is Jake's son's second father, basically.

And that's how it is...until years into their relationship, something happens that has both of them looking at each other a little differently.

This book kind of reminded me of the movie Love, Rosie. That movie has two BFFs being friends and having lives, but are so often like ships passing in the night. They just keep missing each other by a little bit each time, but it hurts every time it happens. Jake and Roe's relationship is so deep. They're best friends, they love each other's kids...they're basically married/dating, except for they're not. In this book, that was tolerable. But the HEA isn't until the next one. 

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I like tension and gay awakenings, though I don't think I'm as big a fan of just straight up angst.
