I echo the sentiments expressed by my fellow reviewers, particularly those of @raven1.

I liken reading this story to visiting the back catalogue of a musical artist one discovers later in their career; a joy to witness the growth of an artist who displayed a unique and delightful talent from the get go. Invariably I find such artists are like @Ronyx in that they hold their appeal for far longer than those who provide instant gratification. Revisiting his stories is a pleasure to derive time and time again as was this case with this one, his charming and entertaining debut.

I enjoyed this tale of young love and the problems of coming out.  Gary's hopes for love are shattered by his best friend Shaun.  How Gary deals with this is a simple but beautiful love story that highlights Gary's strength and compassion.  Gary's mom, the Her in the title, is a beautifully portrayed hero with a great sense of humor she uses to diffuse difficult situations.  Simply a very good first novella by a very talented writer, Apple of Her Eye features many of the strengths Ronyx built upon in later works.  I gave it 5 stars after considering it was his first work, but honestly he now writes much more elegant, complex and thoughtful novels.  Consider this as a historical view of his writing.  It is a very worthy story and I recommend you read it.
