Young Men in Love by Joe Glass
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I picked this book up at MegaCon last year and finally got around to reading it. It is a great collection of short comics of men in love. There is a lot of variety and the art is fantastic.

Once again we see how unique the residents of the apartment building are. Dean, Tate, and Joel are figuring out how they fit together and what defines special. I enjoyed the whole story but there are some special moments that are just extra fun. Such as shopping at Target. I love that it is made clear that they really care for each other.

It is wonderful to back at Neon Nights. Roman is always ready to fight for what is right. This time it is personal. It was great to see Everett emerge as a character growing through the story. There were a couple of times I got impatient and thought just get on with it. But the journey was worth the trip. This story has beautiful ending. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a sweet story of two men who have been best friends since forever. They story starts at a crisis point. Then we get to watch the two of them grow up in each other’s lives until we get back to the crisis. Over the years they have been circling around each other. I love the way the ending of this story wraps it all up

Here's the wrap up for September.  Another great month of reading for the Coastal Magic Reading Challenge.  I read some additional books in series I enjoyed.  Plus I made time for some other books as well.
