Hat Trick
Gordon Lake doesn't know who he is or what he should do with his life. For the past twenty-six years, he's been a mirror image of his father, and it's never occurred to him to live any other way. When Gordon finds himself alone, faced with a life all his own, he realizes for the first time that he is a blank slate. Determined to find definition and purpose, he moves to Los Angeles, the city of lost souls, and embarks on a social and psychological living three completely separate lives as three completely different roommates to some of the most disparate, confused people in LA.With Ash, a Venice Beach artist who sells her sculptures on the sidewalk, Gordon holds to the mantra, "Do not deny." Together they follow both conviction and whimsy wherever it leads them, until a case of vandalism drives Ash to take her work to a whole new level.Shawn and Cedric have been living together for ages, but they might as well be complete strangers for all their mutual antagonism. From the moment Gordon walks in on their residential disputes, he's determined to find a way to reconcile their differences. But the battle between them quickly escalates beyond anything Gordon can handle, and he begins to wonder if his efforts at peacemaking might be doing more harm than good.Dean has everything figured out. From his well-organized white boards to his taciturn fiancée, his life is exactly what he makes of it. Gordon is sure that Dean can teach him to improve himself, if he could just keep from showing his true feelings towards Dean's bride-to-be.The project was never meant to be easy. The point was to find - or perhaps create - a new identity. Nowhere in his strange imagination did he ever expect it to get this hard this fast. At the end of his three month experiment, Gordon will have to decide who he really is. But what if the answer to his most pressing question turns out to be three more questions, each as broken and confused as the last?In Hat Trick, author Brad Keene explores love, grief, and the importance of knowing who you are in this remarkable debut set in the sprawling urban heart of Los Angeles.

His name is Gordon Lake. He has been raised by his father and worked side by side with him for years. He looks like him, talks like him, has the same facial expressions, the same gait, a veritable carbon copy. His father dies unexpectedly and Gordon finds himself at a complete loss. He is 26 years old and only knows he does not want the life he has been living. Seizing the opportunity to emerge from the shadow of his father, he picks up and flies to Los Angeles. He is on a quest to figure out who he really wants to be.
First item of business is to find a roommate, but he has trouble deciding between his final three possibilities. A bizarre idea comes to him. He will try on all three for size. 'Different roommates. Different homes. Different lives.' Gordon turns the whole exercise into an experiment. With none of the roomies aware of the others, Gordon rotates where he sleeps, what he wears, how he acts. Ash, the artist, encourages him to be free, to not deny his feelings, to act on impulse. Dean is a man of discipline, and he steers Gordon to take control, plan, make lists and set goals. Cedric & Shawn unwittingly present Gordon with the opportunity to act as peacemaker and problem solver.
Fresh idea, absorbing story. This was a first-reads giveaway, signed by the author. Thank you.

HAT TRICK by Brad Keene
I received a signed, paperback copy of this book for free through the Goodreads Giveaway program. In exchange for receiving the book, this is my fair, unbiased and honest review.
Gordon has lived his whole life following the footsteps of his father. When his father dies of a heart attack, Gordon realizes that "Not all burdens make themselves known. Some apply pressure so consistently for so long, you don't realize they're there. You just think that's the way things are." He wants to change his life. He leaves his home and family business behind in Chicago and boards a plane for California with only two bags of clothes and nothing else.
Set in the sun-drenched state of California on the United State's eastern coast, the story begins with Gordon moving in to a tiny apartment as the new roommate of an artist girl named Ash.
That same day he also moves into a house as the newest roommate of Shawn and Cedric. These two men are NOT friends and feud about everything.
But, Gordon is not done yet. He also moves into an apartment with a water salesman named Brad who is obsessed with micromanaging and improving his life.
Gordon now has three residences. He also rents a hotel room for three months so that he will have a "home base."
The reason for this seemingly bizarre behavior is that Gordon has no idea of who he really is. He believes that by living three distinctly different lives all at the same time, he will learn more about himself and who he really is.
This sounds utterly ridiculous, but when you start reading, you are immediately sucked into the story.
It stretches the imagination to believe that Gordon will be able to keep all three "lives" separate from each other and that none of his roommates will become suspicious of his frequent absences. However, he is just a roommate. He isn't really a friend and people do tend to be absorbed in their own lives and are often oblivious to things occurring right under their noses. So, maybe it will work.
The story moves along quickly and Gordon chooses a different persona for each residence.
The author does a terrific job of revealing the characteristics and quirks of each of Gordon's new roommates and the fact that Gordon finds himself overwhelmingly attracted to Brad's girlfriend, Naomi adds an extra twist to an already complicated situation.
Add in the intrigue brought about through Ash's art being vandalized and the introduction of Myron and you will not want to stop reading.
Will Gordon discover who he is by the end of his 'social experiment'? Or will he be more confused than ever before?
This is a story of self discovery in the information age.
It was a quick and interesting read. The only issue I had with this book was that, at times, the author used crude language or wording to describe something. There are better ways to describe things of a sexual nature than what was written. I felt that these instances took away from the book.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

**I recieved this book in a Goodreads Giveaway**
Overall I enjoyed this book. I really liked the concept and thought it was very original. Gordon is trying to figure out who he is, and since he has the means and resources he decides to start up three different lives by rooming with three different people. The idea is to be three totally different people in each context, and by the end of all this he should know which life is the right fit, what he likes and doesn't like, and who he is.
It's a really great premise, and takes the idea of finding yourself to a whole new level. Still, I didn't find the book particularly amazing. It was definitely enjoyable, and it was always fun seeing what each roommate was up to. I particularly liked the beginning Ash chapters (before Myron). But there were little things that bugged me throughout the story. I didn't enjoy the Naomi storyline because I thought it was ridiculous how he "fell in love" with her literally at first sight. But I'll blame that on Gordon being in a sensitive emotional state upon the meeting. However, that didn't keep those parts from being kind of annoying. Luckily, I like how that plot line ended up. I also thought that the story dragged a little in the chapters about Gordon's past. I see why they were important, but I was always waiting to get back to the action with the roommates when I was reading those chapters. Also, sometimes the crude language bothered me. I'm no prude, but if you're going to be throwing around the c-word nonchalantly I am going to be a little uncomfortable. But overall I did enjoy this book. I really enjoyed the end, which left me with a good overall feeling for the story. I don't plan on rereading it, but it was an enjoyable book.

I didn't know what I would think of the book at first, but I actually liked it. Brad has an uncomplicated way of keeping the story in check and easy to read.
Gordon wants and needs to start out on is own after hid father passes away. Everyone always says that he is just like his dad, but he wants to be his own man. With his own personality and dreams. But who is that?
So, he packs up and takes off to LA where he becomes room mates with Ash, who is an artist. His second set of room mates are Shawn and Cedric. Cedric was straight and Shawn was gay. So, you can just imagine what they do to each other when Cedric wants Shawn to move out. But, neither one is going to budge. Which makes life miserable for everyone involved. And then there is Dean, who has got all his ducks in a row, so to speak. Which Gordon actually likes. So Gordon becomes a mini Dean in training. That is, until he starts falling in love with Deans girlfriend.
I believe that is Gordon's way of rebelling after seeing his father die. Furthermore, he does not want to face the emotions of his fathers death. So he starts out with different roommates. Different homes and starts acting out his different lives in order to see what he will keep and what he won't. Then his new life will be his. However, I don't think Gordon knew what would happen if these three new lives of his would do once they started to run over into the others.
I am going to leave that up to you to read the book to find out where loyalties lie. This book is amazing in the way that it is written. And the characters are easily understood and well thought out. Get ready for a bumpy ride. It is worth the read.

I won this book from a goodreads giveaway. I entered looking for a break in my routine of YA, horror, dystopia etc...And this book did not let me down!
This story centers around Gordon, who after the death of his father, leaves his life behind in search of who he really is and steps out of the persona of "his fathers son". He changes locations and narrows his roommate choices down to 3 very different living situations. Instead of choosing one he decides to find himself in each. The troubled artist, the self-absorbed salesman and the two engaged in a battle of wills.
DIFFERENT ROOMMATES. DIFFERENT HOMES. DIFFERENT LIVES.
So I say BRAVO Mr. Keene! Brilliantly written. A definite page turner, not in the "Thriller sense" but with great writing and short to-the-point chapters that make you eager to jump into the next life. Great Charaters. I really enjoyed watching Gordon unfold. My only grip would be that in a couple of the conversations, the use of vulgar language felt forced.
Oh what would we all be like if we could run away to search for our true unadulterated selves. To fully dive into aspects that we would like to explore in greater detail to come out at the other end freer without putting limitations on how we feel we should react, what we should like, etc...But knowing for sure this is your feelings on a matter, your choice. Not something instilled in you from how you were raised or even from where you grew up.

I received this through a GoodReads giveaway and I would like to thank them, again, for sending me this copy as well as the author for signing it.
I felt that Hat Trick had a really great premise. Gordon Lake is his father's twin. His father raised him and brought him to work in the family furniture company and Gordon has known nothing else. It seems he has no other meaningful relationships. After his father’s untimely death, Gordon realizes he has no idea who he is or what he cares about anymore. In one day he quits his job, leaves his hometown of Chicago, and moves to Los Angeles.
From here he decides to move into three completely different apartments with vastly different roommates. I'm not sure what this was meant to prove. To discover who he is by basing his personality off of someone else? To see how he reacts in different situations? To make more significant relationships? The only aspect I kept questioning was where he was getting the money to live in three different apartments, rent a car, and also keep a hotel room on the side for three months.
The characters were interesting and diverse in their personalities. All of them have underlying issues that start to come out about midway through the novel which Gordon tries to help them work through. I also really liked the layout of the story and how it jumps from character to character depending on where Gordon is spending the night. It was a light read and and had a few entertaining parts.

Sometimes the simplest idea can turn into a most wonderful story. Hat Trick gets inside the head of everyman Gordon Lake as he tries to discover who he really is. Working for his dad all his life, he never considered what else was out there. When tragedy strikes at home, he moves from Chicago to L.A. on a whim. When he can't decide with which of three roommates he should live, he chooses them all. Each of the three living situations allows Gordon to sample three types of lifestyles, and he begins a three month experiment with the hopes of determining his path in life.
There is nothing supernatural, or overly unrealistic or dramatic, or especially ground-breaking or exciting within the pages of Hat Trick. There is just Life. And that is enough to keep one thoroughly engaged, chapter by chapter. It is easy for a reader to imagine herself in Gordon's shoes, and to daydream of what our own results of such an experiment would yield. But as many of us cannot take a three month hiatus from life to test the waters of other lives, it is enough to go on Gordon's journey with him.

“Hat Trick” by Bad Keene is a novel about a man trying to discover who he is. Gordon is just like his father, so much so that he cannot separate how he sees himself versus how he sees his father. When Gordon’s father dies unexpectedly, Gordon suddenly sees that he and his father are not the same and he needs to go on a journey of self-discovery.
I found this story interesting. A young man who flees all he has known to go across the country and start over by trying to figure out who he wants to be. He does this by living at three very different addresses with very different roommates. Gordon keeps all the other roommates secret and tries to figure out, through them and their very different personalities and lifestyles, which one will suit him best.
I did like this story, but not for Gordon. I found that I didn’t know who Gordon was as I was reading the story. Not knowing the main character makes it hard to relate (but I guess that was the point since Gordon didn’t know who he was himself). Luckily, the roommates were a lot of fun getting to know. They made the story. “Hat Trick” was a fun read into a social experiment with unintended consequences. I also was surprised at the ending, which was nice!

This need to be a movie!!
This is such a wonderful, new and different story. Truly unique. A guy living 3 lives and with 3 different sets of roomates, all because he cant make up his mind. Well, when you don't know who you are, or what you want, what better way to figure it out than to explore all the options? That is just what Gordon does in Hat Trick.
I found myself laughing, and yelling at Gordon. He is such a likeable character, and I think one that most everyone can relate too. You will find aspects of yourself in Gordon, and maybe some things that you didn't even know were there. I felt myself going on my own journey as I read about his. It made me think, and it made me ask myself, "What would I do?"
Hat Trick is an enjoyable, fun book that I thoroughly enjoyed!!

Hat Trick was a cool story. I thought the plot was very creative and interesting. It kept my attention throughout the book waiting and even hoping Gordon would "find his self." I think we all are trying to find yourself in this world, maybe Gordon went a little extreme with his soul searching but I understood it. Overall it's a good story, and you'll find yourself rooting for Gordon. As for the author I would happily read another story from him. Glad I give him a chance.

I really like the layout so far. I like how the main guy is jumping around in three different life, just so he can figure out who he really is. It really made me think about my life, if I ever did have a chance to explore my life before I settle down. I did, and I'm grateful for that! I'm happy where I am at in my life. Now I want to know where this guy's life is going end up at, is he going back to his hometown as him old self, or as a new self or if he's ever going back home yet. I'm almost half way done, getting there though!

Choices. I was captured by the idea of living three very different lives in order to make a choice. The pacing is edgy and the characters fully realized. I felt like I was peeping in windows and listening in on these peoples lives. I didn't necessarily agree with the ending, but, hey, ultimately that was his choice. I'm throwing this in the ring for book club.

Interesting premise - we all have incidents happen to us that make us wonder who or what we are. The main character had an interesting way to test his mettle and the author makes the experiment interesting.

I finished Hat Trick particularly fast, which may already comment on the novel. I was very interested in the story line, though I do think the goal of "finding yourself" was driven a little hard. A good read.

Book was ok. Liked the idea of living three separate lives to find yourself, but didn't buy the idea of where the main character wound up in his life.
