I'm sorry to say that I'm having to DNF this book at only 15%. I cannot stand one more minute of this pretentiously worded, oddly present tense, omnipresent POV.
While this is supposed to be taking place in L.A., California, US the language grammar and vocabulary sound more British and quite frankly I'm at a loss as to the nationality of the main character. His ancestors were British, but I'm under the impression that he's either Canadian or American. ~sigh~
The straw that broke the camels back for me was reading "vertiginous pitch of high fashion".
a few of the things that led to that final straw....
fol-de-rol
pecuniary
remuneration
discretionary
vociferous
ostentatious
pretenses
fillip
elan
'pinny'
'he's stood there'
'pretensions to engagement'
'five dollars forty'
'he's had a telling off'
'called out of his abstraction'
If I'd wanted to read such pretentious writing I would not have been buying what looked to be a cute a gay romance story. Furthermore, while I regularly read British and Australian books and understand their grammar and vocabulary is different, I do not expect to have to read it when the book is based in America.

While the characters were rather sweet, the rest of the story was not. It was really weird. Maybe it's just me, but this story was awkward to say the least.
