To Hold a Hidden Pearl (Rossingley, #1)

We have an alabaster colored protagonist falling for an olive toned man. Yet the cover model is very pink. With a stock photos that can happen, for a drawing, it is strange.
I started skimming in the end. I liked the troubled Lucien but would have liked to read about him solving his eating disorder.
What I liked, was the notion that straight people don't have to come out and every gay person can choose when or if he comes out. Jay doesn't. This is in contrast with every contemporary story including a coming out moment, neatly brainwashing us that is the right thing to do.

"I like this very much, but the verb inflection of singulars is confusing. I thought 'my family goes to grandma' is correct. And 'A group of men finds beer tasty' is correct. Did I do it wrong or is this author not a native English speaker? It keeps me from immersive reading."
