GFY plot that was OK and I could see where Carey was coming from in his denial but then he seemed to be further along the road to travel in terms of being with Jase, so I felt those bits were confusing.
I thought the trauma and flashbacks and ambush sequences were suitably heart wrenching and the effects both guys still have were realistic feeling.
The back half of the story was more intense, I suppose with the 'great romantic misunderstanding' but also having those small vingnettes about Carey counselling - very tear jerky.
3.5*

18.11.18 reread : I just found this to be an intense theme but the story of Jase and Carey not so - the flashbacks and stories of others being more for me than them. I liked it and it was fairly easy reading style.
