I guess there's sweet irony in fate (or rather torture) turning a cheating womanizer into a one-man(!) guy.

' Maybe, just maybe, he had been too harsh, too angry and too quick at blaming her for everything. Maybe. And maybe he shouldn’t have fucked every willing bird while he was married.' - Now isn't it ironic, considering what happened to you. I usually don't side with gay men's ex-wives, but I'm tempted to here ;-)

' “Thank you, uncle Alex! Thanks for saving uncle Tom, you made mum very happy, and us, too, because uncle Tom gives the very bestest presents!”' - Ooh, so sweet ;-)

The second half of the book is totally different. While the first was Tom's POV and mostly dealt with... well, sex, the second half is Alex’s POV which is like a badass action movie. Very interesting ;-)

' It’s not your body. It doesn’t turn me on.” Alex turned onto his side to face Tom, while Tom gazed up, remembering his question at last. “It’s what you do, Tom.” Alex repeated. “It’s you.” - Try to follow THAT logic ;-)

'"You want me and sometimes, damn, bloody often, I want you to want me." - I'm still trying to comprehend their unusual gay/straight friendship with benefits... ;-)

' Shit. Shit! Fucking hell and bloody blasted fucking burning fucking hell and shitting fuck altogether!'- You're adorable, Tom ;-)

I love how she tells a story by diving deep into the characters heads. Remarkable!
