This is the first novel I've read by this author.  It has captivated me as it moves right along gripping my mind and heart.  People may appear to be different from many of us, but once one takes the time to learn about others ... well, they may very well become soul mates.  Such as Rock Star Rye Crenshaw and Tory Simmons surprise themselves.  This is a compelling, sometimes disturbing story, but it remains very hopeful as the pages turn very quickly.  Highly recommend this well written novel of love.
