This is a story about a man figuring out who he truly is. All his life he has been headed in one direction, all business. Work is ruling him.
Employeed in D.C., he's surrounded in politics every minute. He has no time to maintain his relationship with his boyfriend. He has no time to himself or to enjoy life in general. When he gets bad news and then a tragedy befalls him, he sees how submerged he has become.
When John/Peter can no longer handle anymore, he runs away to somewhere as different as he can possibly find. Things move slower. The people are more real. Here they just take things as they come.
When I first started this book, I had trouble following smoothly with the storyline. It switches between past and present and points of view without warning. In some parts, a bit of time had past without me realizing it was later in the plot. After I got more used to the style, things cleared up for me. That is really my only complaint.
Favorite Son is a clever title because he is a twin who's brother died right after birth. Later in the story, he feels as if he is two different people. Which is the favorite son? Which personality will win out? Although most of us are not a twin, this is a very relatable story in modern times. Many of us don't take the time for the things that are really important. I believe the message is to find your true self, do the things that really matter and surround yourself with people you love.
There is a romantic aspect to this book, but I would not label it as romance and definitely not erotica. It isn't graphic. It's more a introspective look at the character. It does have sweet parts. Many of them are friendship related. There were a couple of shocking moments, but for the most part the story speed is calm. I was definitely interested to see the outcome and enjoyed the trip. I just want to add that it's nice to occasionally see a book with gay characters that isn't focused on them being gay. There is more to a gay man than just his orientation. He has the same problems as everyone else. This is totally and every person read.

With a steady hand, John pulled his Blackberry from its holster and scrolled through a queue of unread e-mail. He studied the words on the screen and waited for work—his drug of choice—to take hold. Each message was another hit that drove everything from his mind but the next urgent problem only he could solve.
Employeed in D.C., he's surrounded in politics every minute. He has no time to maintain his relationship with his boyfriend. He has no time to himself or to enjoy life in general. When he gets bad news and then a tragedy befalls him, he sees how submerged he has become.
Work used to be a verb that explained what John did—not an adjective that described who he was.
When John/Peter can no longer handle anymore, he runs away to somewhere as different as he can possibly find. Things move slower. The people are more real. Here they just take things as they come.
Chucking at the irony of the situation, Peter decided to relinquish his position as pack leader and just leave it to Chance. Eventually, they'd find their way home.
