Blueberry boys

Cute, quick read. Kind of disappointed by how easily they overcame their big problem in the end.

This was sweet and hopeful. Not everything came up roses but ... close enough. Jed Jones is a farmer. He loves to grow things. It also keeps him from having to talk to people and reveal his crippling stutter. He's a bout to have the rug pulled out from under him.Connor Graham has come back to the small New England town he grew up in to settle his inheritance, the blueberry farm Jed leases. The town he fled from as soon as he was able to. He ran from the loneliness & harassment of being the only out gay boy, from being raised by and uncle who didn't quite know what to do with him, from an older brother who seemed to hate him, from the memory of his deceased mother, and has become a successful fashion photographer. Jed & Connor meet and their puzzle pieces click. I liked them together. Very much. Maybe I would've preferred a reverse migration but given the circumstances the choices made were the more realistic ones. I liked that they were normal mid 30's guys. Not an Adonis is sight. I liked that Jed's disability doesn't bleed into his personality. He's steadfast, forthright, and stands his ground. I liked Connor too but Jed is my guy. I think another fifty pages or so could've really made this story perfect.
