Out for the Holidays by Susan Mac NicolMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This a great short story. Even though it is only a short read, Author Susan Mac Nicol told me everything I needed to know, building a perfect picture of the characters.
Samuel has a loud personality, he is gay and proud to shout about it. He can come across as being quite selfish but not meaning to be. He was brought up by his brother, Christian after losing their parents when he was only a teenager. Him and his brother do seem to be close even though Christian had to take on the roll as a father.
Lucas is the complete opposite to Samuel, meaning he is gay but it is kept as a secret, he doesn't want anyone to know, he never found the right time to tell his parents and now with his mother gone, having passed away just months ago, he doesn't want to hurt his father, or shatter his dreams of having grandchildren.
Samuel is in love with Lucas and wants everyone to know. You can imagine the conflict going on in Lucas's head. Still to this day there are people out there who are homophobic and can be very nasty about it. Will Lucas's father be one of those people, or will he accept his son the way he is?
I really enjoyed this short read and I am looking forward to reading a full length novel by this Author.
