Between Boyfriends
In this sharp, entertaining, wry-but-tender debut, Michael Salvatore follows one man's search for the perfect boyfriend in a hilariously imperfect world.
Single, slightly neurotic Steven Bartholomew Ferrante loves his sharp-tongued, loyal friends, his chaotic job as producer for the daytime soap If Tomorrow Never Comes, and his crazy Sicilian mother, not necessarily in that order. Yet at thirty-three, his life is a little like the peppermint mocha coffee drinks that are his favorite indulgence--fun, frothy, but only superficially satisfying. Four years after his boyfriend kicked him to the curb, Steven is still trying to find a replacement. There's been no shortage of casual couplings and one night (or less) stands, but while other body parts are catered to, his heart wants something more. Someone to share sexy Sunday mornings and shopping trips to buy unnecessary kitchen appliances. Someone he can trade knowing smiles with while dishing dirt with his crew at their favorite Chelsea haunts. Somebody to love.
And maybe he's finally found it. Because if Steven's learned one thing from If Tomorrow Never Comes, it's that every storyline has its twists--and the beauty of living spoiler-free is that you never know who's waiting in the wings. . .
"Outrageous and over the top, Between Boyfriends is the ultimate roller-coaster ride of the highs and lows of dating and mating." --Drew Ferguson, author of The Screwed-Up Life of Charlie The Second
"Sexy, funny and drama-filled!"
--Michael Thomas Ford, author of The Road Home

I can't remember when I laughed so much over a book... I found Between Boyfriends when I was paging through the available e-books in the public library catalog, so I could test out downloading one onto my phone. I was (very pleasantly) surprised to see an M/M title - I recognized the author's name since I'd actually cataloged this book in the LGBT library I volunteer with, and thought "hurray! I shall check this out and show the public library that they should get LOTS of gay and lesbian romance/humor/fiction because people want to read it!"
After futzing around with the damn Overdrive directions (do they HAVE to make that crap so hard to understand?) I de-virginated my phone with its first library book. So, then, of course, I had to make sure it would open, and figured I'd play around with it some, and then return it, because I'm not the kind of techno-junkie that would actually read a whole book on my phone.
I read the whole book on my phone. Pretty much in one sitting. And condolences to you young-uns who didn't get the pop culture references, because for the first time in my life, I actually felt "chronologically gifted" - as a good thing, not as a euphemism for "old". I absolutely and totally got the joke when he compared Thornbirds Richard Chamberlain with Shogun Richard Chamberlain. (Who was still in the closet then, but living with his partner in a gorgeous house in Hawaii, god bless him.) And all of Gus's boyfriends' names. And references to disco culture, and many other things that people actually enjoyed because they were cool, and new, and hadn't become campy jokes about the olden days.
And I loved the story... it was lighthearted AND goodhearted, with crazy friends, and lovers, and family. I loved Steve's friends and all their dramas, and someday I hope it's no big thang when an actor sends an "I love you" shout-out to his boyfriend at an awards ceremony. And I reeeally want a vanilla latte from Starbucks.

Steven Ferrante is gay, single, thirty-three, lives in New York City, works at a television studio, has a zany mother with no boundaries who loves him unconditionally, and a hetero younger brother who is the quintessential alpha male. He drinks Starbucks by the gallon, and spends his spare time with his three best friends when he isn't planning his wedding with the last warm-blooded male who smiled in his direction.
Sound familiar? If you've read any gay romance novel in the past decade, at least one--if not several--of the above scenarios was likely to have been a character, setting, or theme. Author Michael Salvatore, with his debut romance novel Between Boyfriends, takes full advantage of the story formulas that are most commonly used and appear again and again in men's literature today. Most importantly, he does it splendidly.
When we first meet Steven, he is fabulously happy with Jack, only to be dumped two weeks later. Flash forward four years, and we find a still-single Steven searching desperately for a relationship--any relationship. His three best friends are willing (and seemingly always ready within a moment's notice) to console him and offer advice, but lately their patience has worn thin. Each has his own set of issues, as well as likes and dislikes, when it comes to relationships.
Flynn, his closest friend, is an attorney approaching forty--equivalent to death in gay years--and is also positive, so he tries to remind Steven that things could be worse. Lindsay, a figure skater and former Olympic hopeful, doesn't understand what all the relationship fuss is about; he thinks Steven just needs to get laid. Gus, a true British gentleman, dates a revolving door of younger men, all of whom are named after characters from classic television shows.
Steven's faith is renewed when a stranger seated next to him at Starbucks shares his name (Frank) and phone number. He leaves a message for Frank, who never calls him back. Soon thereafter, he meets and dates Brian, who has potential to be The One, but he and his friend Lorenzo appear to be too close for comfort. Meanwhile, Jack resurfaces, apparently sorry for the way things ended and determined to make things right again between them.
In spite of his neuroses and unwarranted insecurity, Steven is a remarkably likeable character, and his story, albeit familiar, is truly engaging. The catty banter among his friends is funny, well-crafted, and something all gay men can relate to and appreciate. Salvatore clearly has a knack for dialogue, and he calls attention to several hot button issues that are cause for debate, like essential show tunes, song divas, and must-see movies. The entire book is rife with pop culture references, from the beloved '80s to present day.
Subplots include the usual catfights between rival actresses and gay-or-straight guessing games on the set of the soap opera where Steven makes his living, his mother's adventures in event planning at her retirement village, and his brother's quest to get his wife pregnant.
Between Boyfriends is pure fun, ferociously entertaining and just might renew even the most cynical reader's faith in friendships and relationships.

It took me a long time to get into this book. The characters were more caricatures, their depth defined by their witty dialog and pseudo-social angst. Oh, it was funny, mostly, and there were a few times I laughed out loud. But overall, the situations depicted at best either tragically flawed characters knitted from the author's imagination, or at worst, characters based on stereotypical gay men who sashay through life thinking only of sex.
Only the last third of the book was deeper than a dinghy's anchor line. Steven, the main character, finally developed into a somewhat well adjusted half of a normal couple after a few failed relationships helped chisel a backbone for him. He finally outgrew the comedic cast of characters he called friends, at least in his outlook and maturity level.
The writing style was irritating at times, with it's overuse of metaphors; using movies like The Wizard of Oz, particularly stereotypical, as a means to propel his characters. Such metaphors were stretched out until there was no stretch left! And, although it's probably just me being nit-picky, but I was disappointed that he used bad grammar repeatedly, such as "me and Frank" instead of "Frank and me."
The novel's best feature is its humor, and for that as much as anything I rated it 3 out of 5 stars.

Very much enjoyed this story. The writing was smart, comedic, and real. The characters were a bit out there, but I can definitely see the realism in each of them. I would recommend this book to those who enjoy a good laugh.

I know that characters as portrayed here exist, but just as I know that they exist doesn't mean that I don't find them very shallow and self absorbed, never satisfied with what they have, always looking for the next hot thing to come through the door. Relationships take work and unless you're willing to put in the effort you'll never have what you most desire. It isn't until Frank returns that I see Steven start to actually work towards the relationship he so desires. It's unfortunate that most of his friend group are in the same boat for most of the book. There is one great moment in the book and I couldn't agree more with this quote:
In 1964 Christmas turned gay. It was the year Rankin/Bass’s now-classic stop-motion TV special, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, premiered. To the layman, the program was just a holiday special based on a popular Christmas song. But to Gay men, this animagical musical featuring thinly veiled gay anthems like "We're A Couple of Misfits" and "Silver and Gold" was the first in-depth full-colour televised examination of what it truly meant to be a misfit in the closeted 1960s. This song and dance version of the Rudolph story wold go down in gay history.
This 1960s classic has resonated with me from the very first time I watched it in 1964. I like, Steven, have always felt like the misfit. Despite the vapid characters did find a resonance with the novel simply knowing that this too is real life even if it's not a life I've ever aspired to.

This novel deserves so much more than what others have put out there.
Is it all over the place? Absolutely. That’s what makes it beyond entertaining and quite hilarious.
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much as I had when reading this compared to other homo reads.

Really well written, absolutely hilarious and totally relatable to my group of friends.
Read
June 24, 2010Dabbed as “summer reading”, something that usually is light and easily forgotten, Between Boyfriends was one of the most nice surprise I had lately; I can really imagine someone finding this book in 20 years or so, in some yard sale, with the cover full of wrinkles, since it came out directly in paperback, and having again the same surprise I had. Between Boyfriends is witty, romantic and shocking; it’s a full immersion in the most flaming and gayish gay life you can imagine, with characters coming out (pun very much intended) from the stereotype imaginary of gay culture.
Steven, the main character, is a gay soap opera screenwriter; his dearest friends are a pushy forty financial guru, a stock investor, a former ice-skating star and a go-go dancer. They all have emergency meetings in the local Starbucks, getting high on caffeine instead of alcohol. They exchange sex stories like you can exchange your daily routine with your mother on the phone, and they all seem happy and independent, but in reality, they are all searching for true love… ok, well, maybe the go-go dancer is not trying so hard, and the ice-skater would prefer to have won that bronze medal at Lillehammer, and the financial guru is happy to change boytoys like he changes boxers, but at least Steven and his best friend Flynn are sincere enough to admit that they want a long-lasting relationship, and it’s a pity that they are not for each other, since they would be perfect together.
Steven is so desperately searching for love that he falls in love at first sight for any gay man he meets on the street, saving changing his mind when he realizes that he is not Mr Right, but maybe only Mr Right Now. In any case, I really liked Steven, since I found a little of everyone in him: who has not spent a lot of money to buy a dress that makes you feel wonderful, only for having your daydreams broken when your hot date calls back to postpone/cancel the appointment? Right after you signed that expensive credit card receipt with no reimburse available? But Steven is so in love with love, that he is always able to find another daydream and another Mr Right, and even if it’s not yet the right one, at least he is enjoying the ride. Steven is not like that sad single gay men mourning the lack of a boyfriend in an empty apartment, he mourns with style, in a disco surrounded by friends and dancing along; and he is even able to go back home with an hot stud, since, even if he has not found Mr Right yet, who said he has to “sleep” alone in the meantime.
There is a lot of sex, but it’s always funny and light, profane but always with a laugh; it’s for sure gratuitous sex, as I said Steven is not waiting alone for Mr Right, but it was never awkward: Steven and his friends enjoy sex, and sex is something fun, only that with love is better. And if you like romance, there are at least two good love stories here, and one in blossom, the author has material for at least two other books (Flynn and Lindsay), and then if he wants to complete the circle of friends, Gus and Sebastian are other two very nice romance material.

First off, the good things (and there were many). A nice, breezy style. A likable narrator. Some very funny plot twists and a story that doesn't grow old halfway through the book. However, I found that all too often I'd be reading along and suddenly a passage would annoy the hell out of me. Mostly these concerned the over-used pop culture references. I don't know the age of the author, but I'm guessing he is older than his early thirties characters, because most of the references concerned 1970s television, often EARLY 1970s. Surely a character in his 30s would have more knowledge about pop culture of the 80s and 90s? I know with repeats and TV Land people DO know about shows from before their time, but this guy seemed ONLY to know Rhoda, Donny and Marie, and H.R. Puffenstuff.
It took me a while to get into the flow of the story as well, as I found the constant sexual banter of his friends annoying as well. Once I realized that this was a sort of gay version of Sex In The City I relaxed and enjoyed it more. Although I had always thought Sex In The City was gay enough. The annoyances aside, I will probably give this author's next book a chance. He had a flair for a witty phrase!

I went into this book really hoping to like it. And based on some of the recent books I've read that have focused on a gay man trying to find love in the city, I figured it would be a good read. But I honestly had a really hard time with it, mostly due to the writing style and the presentation of the main character. The narration is overly descriptive (and I can hear my former creative writing teacher screaming at me for saying something like that) in that things are oddly specific that one wouldn't expect to be while other things are glossed over. And I couldn't empathize with the main character at all and there was no connecting. Of course, phrases like "[...] I'm strictly commenting on his penis. And by penis I mean cock." left me going "What? Why?" It just seemed frivolous and not in a way that I personally found enjoyable. I don't recommend this one because there are just so many better books out there.

A fun read. Quirky characters that sometimes make you laugh, with sassy sex talk and real friendships. Steven is a likeable character, as is Flynn and Frank. I laughed aloud a few times while reading this book; it is a lighthearted romance that leaves you surprised at the end. Great writing too, really funny and flows well, although there were a few points where the plot seemed to be going around in circles, it all worked out in the end. My only criticism would be I couldn't remember most of the characters names after a page for some reason lol.
Definitely one of my favorite romances I've read, and gay or straight, this is a story for those seeking real love, just like Steven.

Oy, I get the main character is a soap opera producer, but his life apparently WAS a soap opera! the writing style of this book was Sex in the City meets Sean Hayes - so super gay. Which was amusing at times but it just be came a lot of fluff. My biggest annoyance with the book was how it felt like characters sold suddenly and drastically changer mannerisms to fit some new plot device or twist. A few just kept having their behaviors change so much that they seemed more schizophrenic than anything.
June 8, 2011
This book was said to be a type of gay 'Sex And the City' so I figured it would be right up my alley. It was a quick read and I felt drawn in by the characters and their plight. I did find myself doing too much math while reading...only because the main character was in his 30s, but his thoughts of the past seemed closer to my age and older (in his 40s)...but that is but a minor thing. If you don't allow yourself to question his references, it is a fun summer read.
June 3, 2015
I have been having a hard time finding a decent book to read - most have just not drawn me in, so I felt no need to review them.
This, on the other hand...I got only 10 pages in before I wanted to hurl it across the room. The main character, Steven, is so unlikable that I just could go no further with him. He is judgmental and so caught up with himself that I don't care if he ever finds happiness.

Well, since I wrote this book under the name Michael Salvatore I think it's brilliant ;-) Actually it's a really fun romp. It's gay fiction and is best described as Sex & the City meets Will & Grace. Looney, hilarious, with just the right amount of sweet, honest moments. If you like this sort of fiction, I think you'll enjoy it.
November 2, 2011
I really enjoyed the humour throughout the book. It was an easy to read book with a nice inspiring ending. I recommend this book if you are looking for something that is super funny, short, and an easy read.
August 11, 2012
Well, yes, of course I didn´t expect a nobel prize winner here but this very light story was nothing more than just a wee bit entertaining. Let´s follow Steven and see how his life changes and how he tries to find true love. Good for some beach or bath tub reading.
November 9, 2013
This is a must-read for every gay guy I can think of. The fact that the book takes place in NYC and the fact that the characters are so relatable makes you feel like you're reading your best friend's diary. I never wanted to put this book down.
February 12, 2014
Took me a while to get into the book as it felt like the characters were all based on stereotype and only cared about sex. As that changed, I started to enjoy the book more as it dove deeper into their relationships.
July 11, 2010
This was a really fun book with a likable, funny narrator.
December 28, 2010
I fell in love with the characters and there are some funny lines and good sarcasm.It felt like real-life. Otherwise, it was too slow, too long and predictable.
June 1, 2011
Loved it. Absolutely hilarious. The only flaw: Sebastian.
July 27, 2011
I found this book a hard read. I chose it for a challenge but could not get into it and I have recently decided that if a book is not at least 3 stars it is not worth reading.
January 20, 2013
Hilarious. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a fun read. It reminded me a lot of Queer as Folk, so I also recommend it to anyone who enjoys that sort of thing.

Between Boyfriends is a fun read with lots of great characters and several plot twists.

this is a really nice romance.

I loved this book. What an interesting group of friends. And family too.

Ay first this book was humorous enough to engage me for a few chapters. However it's filled with stero types that feel really old even though the book was published only six years ago.
