SUMMARY: Anthony is reunited with his cousin Kelly during the summer of 1996. They are teenagers, born a month apart, and appreciate the manner in which the other has developed physically.

COMMENTARY: I like the manner in which the author tells his story. It does not seem matter of fact, but rather is filled with little details that gently nudged my imagination. He seems to focus as much on how the main character is feeling as he does on what exactly is going on. I like that, a lot.

This story is written as the first chapter of a longer work. While it can probably stand on its own, I feel that this segment was lacking in plot. The author basically sets the situation, introduces a bit of tension, and then has a sex scene. The tension seems to flow away once the sex begins. The tension does not last long enough to fully satisfy me. Of course, if this is just the first chapter of a longer work, then there is plenty of time to bring back the tension, which I feel is an essential element in any sort of story about human interaction.

So, I like what the author has written so far. I hope that there is more to the relationship between Anthony and Kelly than just sex. Hopefully the author will continue with his story and prove this to be the case.

If you prefer things that are over-the-top and incredibly kinky, then you will probably be disappointed by this story. If, on the other hand, you enjoy stories that are more on the gentle side, then I certainly recommend it to you.
