I shall capture your dreams, he whispered.
This is the book I'm currently reading, and I'm finding that I really love it. =3 I couldn't put it down last night. Looked at the clock, couldn't stop reading, and the next time I looked at it an hour had gone by.. sweatdrop
I picked it up because the author joined a community I started on LiveJournal a while back and her profile page mentioned the book. XD And then I found that I really enjoy it.
Capture them and devour them.

Well, this one works nicely. Publishers Weekly From Publishers Weekly
With painstakingly detailed, passionate sex scenes balanced by plenty of insight into its characters' anguished inner lives, Shapiro's debut novel dramatically captures love's roulette of emotions: the electricity of possibility, the pull of youth, the weight of loss. Shapiro depicts the fraught relationship between two New York City men: 42-year-old ad exec Jim Glaser and 23-year-old pretty-boy and aspiring artist Seth McKenna. Pulled together by empathy and animal attraction, Jim and Seth must also navigate undercurrents of pain: Jim still mourns the death of his long-term partner, Zak, and Seth conceals a troubled smalltown Nebraska background that includes a fundamentalist Christian mother, an abusive stepfather and a horrifying teenage experience that has left him emotionally crippled. Afraid of Jim's pity, Seth paints a much cheerier picture of his upbringing, and when his younger sister, Cassie, suddenly shows up in New York, Seth is terrified she will reveal their history. Bitter that Seth escaped Nebraska and she didn't until now, Cassie also struggles with but quickly accepts his homosexuality. Fate temporarily calls Seth back to Nebraska, and he and Jim hit a painful low before Shapiro delivers a reassuring if improbable happy ending. (Mar.)

Zesty Condom I love reassuring if improbable happy endings! ;D
Actually, I think I've heard of that book.
I ended up finishing it tonight (after four hours of non-stop reading D:!) and though for some it is a happy ending, it wouldn't necessarily be my type of happy ending. *shakes head* Was a nice read, though.
