Decoding the Jacket Blurb

[lady_fellshot]

I have been known to be a discerning (re: picky) book reader. For this reason I tend not to take book recommendations from people who do not know me well and I've pretty much broken both Amazon's and Goodread's recommendation alogrithims to the point that I get better luck randomly wandering a bookstore or library hoping for a "ooh SHINY" reaction

A thoroughly mediocre book that wastes what little good will it gains from having queer main/supporting characters by lingering on author-typical sex scenes and providing only surface-level character development (actually, I think most of the development/problems caused by the main character being gay are in the blurb). As it turns out, his sex scenes between two men are just as boring as his hetero scenes.

Yeah, I don't think you'd like this at all.

I might have been spoiled by everyone else I've read before then... including the slash fan fiction. :P
