I fondly remember waiting for each new chapter of Love in a Chair when Altimexis wrote this beautiful story six years ago. So when I was looking around for something new to read, I saw Double Trouble and decided to check it out.

I am glad I did - it is a fun short story. Jason and Rory are two fifteen year-olds, best friends who have been in love with each other for years who finally admit to each other they are gay and love the other. The story starts with them making up for lost time at Jason's house in Detroit, where his mom works late hours and his dad is absent, living in working in New York, where he spends about half the year.

Problem is - Jason's dad is about to come home from New York for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so Jason and Rory are worried about a chaste month to come. One plot detail after another turn Jason and Rory's life from tranquil to surprised to challenging to ... well, you can see for yourself. The one detail I will give is I love how Altimexis puts into perspective the difficulty of two fifteen year-olds to pull off a scheme.

Overall Double Trouble is an engaging story that I enjoyed. It is definitely a story to read twice - and once you finish it, I think you'll agree. The characters are interesting and well crafted. My only disappointment is that it seems that the ending wasn't as full as it could have been, compared to some of the detail in the rest of the story. It achieves its purpose - but after some wonderful detail, I guess I just expected a bit more. Overall, I give the story four of five stars and recommend it (as well as Love in a Chair). Altimexis knows how to write and weaves great tales.
