He Calls Him Tom (Elements of Retrofit)

Elements of Retrofit
N.R. Walker

Matt Bomer
 As Thomas Elkin

              

                Colton Haynes
               As Cooper Jones

Okay, I’ll be honest; this is where I seriously want to wax poetic. But really, why the heck not. N.R. Walker’s “Elements of Retrofit,” as the first installment in the Thomas Elkin saga, is truly a feast for any reader, avid or otherwise.  

This May/ December romance feels much more genuine than other stories that endeavor the same plot point. (Though I readily concede others have also done it well.) There’s something cinematically beautiful about its unfolding in this case. 

      I’ve cast and recast the film version a million times in my head. In just a few short years Matt Bomer could easily be Cooper’s Tom - and wouldn’t that be something. In the interim I’ve only read the book ten or fifteen times, I can read it again.
