well written & thought provoking

Fascinating study

Great to read an intelligent, well-written book about gay people that actually says something. Learned a lot about my own friendships and it answered some questions I had about what others think about sex and friendships.
An important and interesting study.

I really learned a great deal from this book and would recommend it to anyone-- gay or straight-- who is interested in the topic of friendship. Nardi presents fascinating data from his study, and he is an astute social analyst.
