Romance meets bromance in this sharp yet tender-hearted examination of love and friendship disguised as a book about sex.
Thirty-something Seattle transplants, Matthew Barker and Terry Thompson, best friends since they were kids in Wyoming, have always been there for each other.
But Matthew's obsession with his sexy ex-wife, sick attraction to an arrogant best-selling author, and Terry's sudden interest in his widowed neighbor have done a number on their tight relationship. It's looking like it might be curtains for their brotherly bond if they don't figure things out.
Then a death in the family takes the two frazzled friends on a hair-raising and heart-breaking road trip back to Wyoming that puts their teetering alliance in focus. Old haunts and lingering ghosts populate outer and inner landscapes as their dual destinies unfold. Back in Seattle, they have to make choices that determine who and what they will love. A psychic astrologer, a mind reading dog and lots of donuts are helpful.
An Emerald City Sex Comedy dishes out sex with satire, manners with metaphysics, and stoned meditations on free will, while reminding the reader that love—no matter how complicated—is the key to a worthwhile life.
