There was no resolution to anything at all and too many questions were left unanswered, even ones raised by the characters that would seem to be important to what's happening.
Lost Time
When Alex sees Kurt at the restaurant after 5 years without any contact between them, he jumps up and runs out of the restaurant. The next day, Jake (who was at the restaurant with Alex) sends Alex a note mentioning that the owner of the restaurant (no name mentioned) stopped by after Alex left. Just from this, Alex immediately knows that Jake's talking about Kurt who must, of course, be the owner...I'm really not sure how Alex could have made that connection. Just one glimpse of Kurt in a restaurant he's never been to and knows nothing about is enough for him to realize Kurt's the owner and the man mentioned in Jake's note?
2.5Nicely written with just a few errors and I liked it well enough, but there wasn't much to hold my interest. There wasn't much fleshing out of the characters and the (sort of) mystery-hunt for the thief mostly played out in the background with not a whole lot happening there. The romance was pretty formulaic: MC has love-love feelings that he's sure will never be reciprocated, with added option of thinking that the love interest dislikes/hates him, until -- surprise! -- it is. Also, the love interest was rather typically cranky-or-reticent, making it easier for MC to think the love interest hates him.So 3 stars for "liked it" minus a bit.
