**3.5 Stars**

Beautiful, emotional and heartfelt read...but missing a couple of things to make it amazing.

[Marty Bruno · Rating 3 out of 5]

At first a very pleasant read. I enjoy books that take off right away, this one does that. However, Can we say things are missing!? I found myself confused and totally frustrated! Things took a turn for the worst without any warning! And suddenly it's two years later after that!!! Ugh! I will say, I enjoyed the book mostly, when I was confused I couldn't stop reading cause I had to figure out what the f*** was going to happen!

Now... grammar police you will need to turn a blind eye! Spelling was only a suggestion. Please be cautious as million dollar words are thrown about without the sentence structure to support them.

Maybe rework the story line a bit. Give the book a better flow and add some of the missing bits.

Over all, quick, easy read with amazing sex scenes and heart felt "family-ish" moments.

Interesting/weird

I had a mind-blown moment when I realized there's author-ception going on. (The narrator IS the author). That made a bunch of other stuff make sense.

It's kind of refreshing that for once, the sex isn't initiated by drunkenness or drugged-ness.

There are awkward grammatical points here and there, but that might be the author trying to create that sort of persona with the narrator.

=_= Grammar, punctuation (especially those goddamn commas), even some misused homophones.


Still, it's quite a compelling read. It's vague, but artfully so. I quite liked it.
