Taryn Moreau rated a book really liked it 100% Match by Patrick C. Harrison III (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
100% Match is almost impressively disgusting, but it did easily hold my attention. It used a unique and fun narrative device, with the protagonist listing various relationship-related statistics throughout. I mainly removed a star because I found the ...more

Death with Interruptions is such a unique story. It feels philosophical above anything else (what if people in a particular country stopped dying?), and then turns into a more traditional story centering two characters during the final third of the b ...more

The next time someone wants an example of how not to romanticize or eroticize problematic behavior, I’ll point them to Orpheus Builds a Girl. Now, mind you, I prefer my dark content at least a little romanticized or eroticized, so this book washes th ...more

Ah, the life of a young bisexual unicorn with low self-esteem and almost non-existent boundaries... I related to the protagonist of Animals Eat Each Other more than I'd like to admit, and I found the novella brutally realistic and honest. I do wish th ...more

I'm being a bit charitable and rating this book based on the first half or so. I think it was longer than it needed to be, veering more into pep talk territory toward the end. It's absolutely worth buying and reading for the first part, though. If yo ...more

Great overall approach to being an author with lots of solid advice, even for authors in 2025. That said, I think Wide for the Win would have been stronger if it kept its focus on the why of going wide and the high-level strategies that tend to work. ...more
