POSITIVES: What nonnie above said, I'll second that. And I have to add that I loved the way Dean and Sam were forced to fix the toilets and such in exchange for rent. Great details. And that line about trailer parks having a sense of permanence. That line hit me really hard. And Dean's whole relationship with the Paul(?) guy and Sam's thing with Ali-but-I'm-not-gay.
NEGATIVES: John. OMG. DNW abusive father calling Dean a slut. But even though I hated the characterization with a passion and wish the author had chosen a different way, I can't fault the writing. She selled it. Which kind of makes it even more DNW. ALSO: Dean was kinda pushy? Like, it was obviously consensual but it still squicked me a little when the sexing first started, on the couch. And when Dean grabbed Sam's hand and put it on his hard-on on the bike... :\ Sam's reaction was very believable, though, which I enjoyed.

Grade of B, I'd say. Worth the read.
