"Checking Him Out" by Debbie McGowan

Sol and Elise have been in a lavender marriage for eight years when a pushy man annoys them in the check out aisle at the grocery store.  When the man, Adam, tracks down Sol at his engineering job to return his wallet, they find out that they are both Englishmen living in Boston.  I can't say much more without giving away major spoilers, but part of the story takes place back in England with both sets of their parents and siblings.  The author did a great job of taking what could have been an ordinary boy meets boy story and freshens it with not only with a lavender marriage but anxiety about love and living fully out of the closet.  The secondary characters were done well and played important parts in the story.  I'm looking forward to reading more by this author.  193 pages (Kindle edition).
