The story at the novel's heart is about thre friends. Brenda, Liz and Candace. They met in college and formed this Lonely Heart Club where the commiserate over breakups and in general are there for each other.

characters are all strong and likeable, their situations are relatable fantasies and with so many players there is no shortage of passion steaming up the pages. I don't know if there are really communities like the one these characters live in, where everyone appears to be gay, but it sure sounds like a great place to live.4.5 "wide awake and horny" stars
