- There are about a half dozen reasons I should have given three or four stars to this book. It follows the exploits of Cameron, a 22-year-old Browerton senior (on the cover) and Walker, a 36-year-old Browerton graduate who works in marketing in the same town and becomes fascinated with Cameron during his morning trips to Starbucks, where the student is a barista. That's a May-to-December romance that is simply not made to work.
One reason is that Cameron is set on a goal of graduating, leaving for Hollywood and becoming a screenwriter--and he has a professor who encourages him very strongly in that direction. Cameron is also a sexual legend on campus--he must have slept with every hot young man on campus over four years, never once doing the deed twice with anyone.
Another reason is that Walker is a wimp, a man whose ex-husband remarried almost as soon as they were divorced two years before after spending a dozen years together as boyfriends on campus and a married couple off. They adopted a baby boy, named Hobie, now four years old, and the conflicts of joint custody and Walker's ex-husband's soccer-dad psyche are laid out pretty bare.
Now, given this situation, you have to expect that happenstance and serendipity have to intervene for Cameron and Walker to get together. They accidentally meet in a gay bar in town, nothing happens, and then everything starts rolling along with a plot that is somewhat tough to take in terms of logic, but charmingly enhanced by the writing and the fact that both men seem to be maturing at different ages at exactly the same time.
Nice follow-up to a brilliant first book. - Don't let the cheesy cover fool you. Out On a Limb isn't one of those light, dumb, college roomate-centered books. There's great dialog, some humor, and real people with real issues (not manufactured angst or miscommunications). I even liked the kid, which is unusual for me. I felt like this was a real-life situation, not one of those contrived coincidences or fake marriages or any other cheesy plot. It really worked. The decisions both men struggled with were based in reality and they handled them as people actually would. I really enjoyed Walker and Cameron's developing relationship. I also liked the references to real movies, TV shows, etc. It made the book seem more relevant (I started a book that used a fake city name - even though it was clearly Los Angeles - and every time I read the fake name, it took me out of the book. I ended up not finishing the book. Why do some authors shy away from facts?) I'm a stickler for accuracy, and though I know little about media buyers (I do know some about advertising), it seems that Truman either did his research well or used to work in media buying because the details seem authentic. I appreciate that. The dialog was one of the high points of the book for me. It also felt authentic and I enjoyed the frequent wit. It's easy to see why the two men are drawn to each other, even before they see it.
The ending seemed very rushed, and I would definitely would have liked an epilogue six months or a year later. Was Cameron going to write a screenplay and shop it around? Would he be settling with Walker's offer or would he be happy writing slogans? How does Cameron develop from a playmate to a stepdad? We need more information to see how Walker and Cameron find a compromise with their futures.
I didn't spot any typos and only a few words that I thought were an odd choice or the wrong tense.
I realized that I had another Truman book on my , and when I checked, I'd left it at 80% read. Not sure why I didn't finish it. But given how much I liked Out On a Limb, I'm going to revisit Out In the Open. I will be checking out Truman's other books, too, hoping that Out On a Limb isn't a fluke. - This is not just another gay romance/older-younger romance novel it is so much more. While "groundbreaking" might not exactly be the best word to this book in a weird way it is whether the author A.J. Truman intended it to be or not. Cameron who is 22 years old in this book, is from the first
generation where their "smart phones" define who they are, are their proverbial "second skin" and for better or worse they don't know any different while Walker, who is fifteen years older than Cameron is not. But there's more, Walker is divorced from (OMG!) another man and sharing custody with their five year old son. Walker's "ex" is in another relationship...and Mr. Truman makes it all work even Walker's job in advertising, on the distribution side, and not the creative side where he really wants to be working was portrayed as being so up to date and
realistic. But in the end, as it should be it is still an "old fashion romance" with A LOT of fun twists to keep the reader (even though you know they will) guessing how Walker and Cameron eventually end up together. Can't wait to read the next book in this great series! - First there was Behind Closed Doors, then there was Out In the Open, and now Truman takes us back to Browerton University in Out On a Limb.
Out On a Limb is the best of the best!
You'll fall in love with Walker and Cameron. the main characters. And Hobie (Walker's six-year-old son) is a true delight.
Truman writes with a bit of Hemingway style. Brief, concise sentences that get right to the point without all the flowery language. And that only makes this book even better.
This is not a book that relies overly heavy on sex scenes. Truman relies on the plot to make us fall in love with these characters. Or to possibly fall in "hate" with one character. Doug. Doug is the kind of man you love to hate.
Out on a Limb is the second in the Browerton University series. But it works well as a stand-alone novel. However, once you read ONE AJ Truman book, you're going to want to read them all! - Hard to put this book down. The story grabs your interest from the first page to the very end. Although the reader can guess that Cameron and Walker will eventually end up together, the author keeps us in suspense until the very end.
