This is usually not a book I would normally read as there is a lot of sexual content, but once you get past that, it is actually a cute story about a twenty-something boy who is trying to find himself outside of the clubs, drugs, etc. The story follows his life and the changes he wants in his life, but is afraid to go after them. The ending does provide a happily ever after as this is a sort of adult fairy tale where the boy becomes a man.

The writing is excellent and there are a lot of British English. Not that the wording is confusing, but I did find myself being confused for some reason. Not sure why.
