I am so conflicted about this series. I think the modern projections of societal interactions are probably inaccurate, and for heaven's sake, the technique of referring to gay people as being "like that" over and over is not particularly helpful or, I think, realistic. And as much as sometimes I just want to throw it down and be finished because things aren't fleshed out as well as I would prefer....I keep on reading because I want to see what happens with this one specific sub-plot. C'mon, let's get to some resolution already!!
