Description
Thanks to his wealthy, doting lover, Jack Thompson's biggest daily challenges are the Stairmaster and deciding whether to read this week's issue of People before or after Entertainment Weekly. That changes with his smitten benefactor's sudden demise - and a decade-old will that naturally doesn't include Jack. Unceremoniously tossed out of their shared house with little more than his rollerblades, Jack wonders who will support him in the style to which he's become accustomed. He certainly can't . . . or can he? Written with biting wit and sharp-but-loving commentary on the myriad gay subcultures, CANT BUY ME LOVE is entertainment of the highest order - warm, wise, and ultimately triumphant.
