Status Updates From Lovers Leap

Michael told his inner coward to fuck off and die in a fire. He’d have told it to take his inner homophobe with it too, ‘cept he had a nasty feeling they still had some unfinished business to deal with.
He was getting there, all right?

And thank fuck for that. Michael has been a right tosser (yes, we’re in Britain ;)) throughout much of this book.

The day was cold but sunny, so Michael thought sod it and put the top down. He didn’t have a hat with him, but it never got cold enough for frostbite in Britain, and who needed ears, anyway?
It was fucking exhilarating, bombing along back lanes and through the New Forest. Even if he did have to keep slowing down so as not to splat the ponies.

Snort!

”So where’s the garlic mincer, then?” Michael carried on, opening and closing cupboards. “What does it even look like?”
Rufus stared at him. “Um, like this?” He held up the appropriate article.
Michael frowned at it. “That’s a knife.”
“Well done. Go to the top of the class. Excellent skills in utensil recognition.

Michael eyed the stiff cock bobbing in front of his face. Shit. He was gonna do this.
Shit. Would that make him gay?
No, it was okay. Cocksucking only made you gay if people knew about it, right, and no one was gonna know.

Right. That's exactly how that works....

Time to cut his losses and head on home. “Sorry, love, but we gotta split up,” he said, not waiting for her to finish what she was saying because he was twenty-six already and he might not live that long.

Off to a perfect start. Funny, British, and narrated by Mark Steadman. Loving it already.

Oh my god! the level to which both of them are delusional...

Ahh... Michael is so annoying and is a self-centered jerk.
He pushes all my dislike buttons and I want to save Rufus from him (not that he is any better- just that he is not a jerk but borders on TSTL)

This book is super adorbs, but too heavy with negative bisexual tropes for me to come back for a reread.

Yea - the Isle of Wight again - love this place!!

I usually love J.L. Merrow books but I'm having a hard time getting into this one because Michael is SO unlikeable.

So, Michael is a bit of a twat. There is no denying that. But it is kinda annoying that everyone is getting pissed at him for all the wrong reasons. Like if they were pissed at his slightly homophobic stance on whether he is gay or not, I'd get it. But everyone seems to be pissed that he dumped psycho chick lady...and from her reaction I have to say that was one of his better decisions.
