I really liked the MC narrator James.  He was a man who had made mistakes - and continued to make them - but was fairly self aware.  I have loved Dickens since high school, so the story about the "missing" Christmas story was fascinating and Josh Lanyon did a wonderful job of weaving portions/excerpts from that (fictitious) book into his own.  I never realized what a market there is for rare books.  As usual, Lanyon's writing is flawless.  I always enjoy his style.  James' neighbor was an endearing (although sometimes annoying character) and watching James take to her, despite himself, was a sweet touch.  And the glow-in-the-dark, flavored condoms were awesome.  I do wish the story hadn't ended so abruptly; I did not have enough interaction between James and Sedgewick to fully believe in their love/HEA.
