This one quote pretty much tells you all you need to know about this story of a 13 y.o. Paul and Sandy first discovering porn and the fact that they were both very, VERY much gay as a $13 bill.
“Are you telling me that a pizza delivery driver took the time to cut a hole the size of his penis and then put said penis through the hole?” Paul said. “And then tried to deliver it to someone? Does the Better Business Bureau know about this?”
At only around 9 pages, it was way too short, but then most things TJ writes are -- even his 400+ page reads.
4 stars.

4 full-of-laughter stars
I laughed SO hard while reading this super short story.
It's actually the prequel of Tell Me It's Real and I'll be buddy reading this series with my best friend! Can't wait!!! I really needed to read something light and funny after the book hangover I was having.
Sandy and Paul are 13 and discover they are both gay, after doing some research on the internet. Them watching porno and especially the one they chose got me chocking with laughter!
Their dialogues made me laugh out loud and I can't wait to meet them as grownups.
Diving into Tell Me It's Real right now.

Funny, irreverent, funny...did I mention it's really funny?
Me neither, Sandy. Me neither.
I was never going to be a member of the cliterati.
Me neither, Sandy. Me neither.

Hahahahahaha!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why couldn't this have been longer????? I loved this so much. Even though this is called book .5 I would suggest reading this after reading at least book 1 of the series, and preferably after book 2 😁.
Sandy is too funny and I loved seeing a younger side to him. Of course, he is just the same as he is as an adult, just a baby Sandy with all the adult attitude. 💙💜💛
And what did happen to that pizza? 😯 😉

Love this series to the moon and back. Plus, flashbacks to dial-up internet and pizza delivery porn. Natch.

I laughed the entire way through this 10 page story by the one and only TJK! We get to meet Sandy and Paul in middle school as they become aware that they are indeed aware of penises.
Freaking hilarious!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

This was a pure and perfect delight to read. Short. Hilarious. And super innocently charming. I loved it and laughed so hard my husband had me read it out loud so he could enjoy the laughter too. Excellence!

Okay, so the dialogue in this story is closer to a Gilmore Girls script than it is to the way real 8th grade boys talk (you’re not fooling anyone, TJ Klune!), but the dial-up and AOL jokes were on point and the story had me laughing nearly the whole way.

Leí esta mini historia antes de empezar Tell me it's real y me encantó ver como la relación de Paul y Sandy es fuerte y preciosa desde el primer momento. Siempre es un placer leer las historias de TJ no solo porque habla de temas duros y actuales como el bullying y el descubrimiento de la sexualidad o porque sea mi escrito favorito, sino porque siempre encuentra el balance justo entre risas y un sentimiento lindísimo y fuerte (ya sea de amor, familia o amistades)
Y SI AMO A TJ Y TODOS SUS LIBROS SON UN DISPARO AL CORAZÓN.

You can try reading a Klune story and not laugh out loud like a demented hyena high on magic mushrooms.
You probably won't succeed. But. You can try.

This is a SHORT (emphasis on short - I think it took less than 10 minutes to read) prequel featuring Paul, Sandy, and their Great Sexual Awakening. Or something. Whatever you want to call it, it was entertaining.

The perfect introduction to Sandy and Paul for the coming books (TMIR Series). This was so fun and clever! Can't wait to read the series now.

I have to read this series. Loved this story. Hilarious!

Only read it cause of a fun snippet Nancy sent me. I haven't read any of the books this short is based on but it was a ton of fun anyway. Loved the sense of humor.

Sandy and Paul are the greatest bffs in the whole fictional universe!! No, the fictional GALAXY!!

Ok I am in the middle of some really deep anthropology books. Reading about creation of cities, Code of Hammurabi and all. Thought why not check out the latest cool gay romance books.
Hence me being led to this book as Book 4 of this series is apparently out in May 2019. So why not check the 1st books in this series.... and what an awful lineage.
Seriously the humor is cool, but for the 1000th time. Why do gay romance books have to be this cheap and waste of time.
I fancy this genre. Like to read it most of the time and I am endlessly trying to find a good worthy book.
Too bad this is another bad attempt of writing.
This genre requires a revolution to fix this trashy trends. Where is Gay Guevara when you need him.

To understand me, it’s probably best to know that my education in the art of dicks began at the tender age of thirteen.
Shocking, I know, but don’t give me that look. It’s nothing as salacious as you’re thinking.
Mostly.
I adored the whole At First Sight series, and it was time to get some TJ Klune/Sandy and Paul fix by reading this precursor short story! Told from Sandy's POV, its the wee origin story we didn't know we needed.
Available as a free story here. :)

I'm not sure if any 13 years old boys really talk like. If so, their bitchiness and sassiness developed well in advance.
I think me, Paul, and Sandy are around the same age. I remember so well what dial-up internet was like when I was 13 years old too. Though, I preferred more the picture than video since my internet was so bad that it was not possible to watch more than a couple minutes of video. Besides, I'm having troubles finding websites where you could watch full-length videos for free. I agree with them that porn of that period could be so cheesy and quite terrorizing though.

13-yo Paul and Sandy research penises on dial-up [Thirty-seven minutes later (including fifteen more minutes of ill-timed buffering), we had learned quite a few things.] in their own inimitable fashion.
If you've read the series, or haven't yet read it, you need to check out this quickie look into Paul and Sandy.

It's a bit sad that I find this free short much more funny than the actual books in the series. I especially liked that there was no repetitive bodily functions jokes, I find them off-putting.
Case in hand of when brevity is the sole of wit.
I'm a fan TJ' writing, but like his non-humor books most.

A peak into the childhood of Paul and Sandy that had me clutching my stomach from laughing so hard. I don't know if it was our characters or just the fact that it took me back to the early days of dial-up that had me going but it was a great short read!

This is a very cute story. This story is from Sandy's PoV and it's about Paul and Sandy (at the age of 13) figuring out that they're gay through research, aka downloading a gay porn over their dial-up internet to watch. :)

That was hilarious! If you are even mildly into the At First Sight series, I so recommend this!
Basically it's Paul and Sandy first discovering their gay through gay porn on dial up internet XD but funny the way you'd expect any At First Sight book to be!

This is a very short story about young Sam and young queen and how they definitely established that they were, indeed, gay.
4 stars because the thoughts and feels were exactly what young teens in those years have- so real. So, basically, typical TJ Klune ;)

This lovely little freebie can be found here:
https://joyfullyjay.com/2016/01/guest...
It's only 9 pages but I laughed through every one of them. Definitely worth taking the time to read.

This is very Paul and very Sandy. As teens! This is a funny, free short that I somehow haven’t read before now.
What I got from this story is that having to use dial-up Internet as a teenager sounds miserable. lol
