"I had lost every relationship that meant anything to me in a matter of one day. No Lu (because I let her down when she needed me the most), no Max (because he'd stabbed me in the back by sharing the Gay Agenda), no Tony (because he was a lying bastard), and no Albert (because I was a lying bastard)."

Yikes... and yet the karma and irony are fitting. Hoping he can recover from this.

Hot and charming, but Jay is going to need to choose between 2 guys. I'm already rooting for him and Albert.

So poignant and so moving. There's a lot to digest in here.

"Should I feel bad that I hope Tony makes out with me even though I'm going on a date with Albert tomorrow?"
"Absolutely not," Max said."In the immortal words of Queen Bey, if he liked it, then he shoulda put a ring on it. You're fair game until someone gives you the DTR." Define. The. Relationship. Until someone specifically asks you to be exclusive, you're not."

Well said.

The main character sure likes lists a lot and also statistics. I belted out a laugh on page 23.
How he can hear everything in the house because of the log cabin structure,"It meant I had to watch every PornTube clip with no sound so while I can imagine sex clearly I'm still not sure what kind of noises you're supposed to make."

Perhaps I'm not much of a romantic book reader and that's why I find this entire novel a snort and a half, however I find the characters completely delightful. The whole fake relationship thing is whatever to me but it's cute how it gets played out. My major complaint however about the entire book is that they were a good few moments where I had no idea who was saying what in the novel. I would have to backtrack.

The only thing I disagree about in this book is how she called her bipolar the black beast. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say this that for many of us we never saw our black beast as a demon. For many of us our bipolar was just a part of us. We never separated it from us. My guess is she only sees it that way because of her Catholic upbringing.

I. Am. Loving. This.

I've noticed how closely a lot of American sign language comes from body language, which is molded largely in part due to culture. So I was thinking the other day, I often see people make that "pfft" face with that sound escaping their lips and I wondered how this look and sound had anything to do with contempt... and then it dawned on me. I saw a horse make the same sound and I realized. HOLY CRAP! That's it!

There were 3 parts in this book that did give the impression of exaggeration. Aside from that, which was annoying to say the least, I can certainly understand the main point being driven on in this book. It is deeply psychological in nature. I can certainly tell that this author is more judgmental than perceptive, but considering the content in question, I can understand why some defensiveness is necessary.

Can atheists have a moral code? It does beg the question and it is something I have been racking my brain around for years. I hope this book can clarify that a bit, but I know this book probably won't answer all of my question. Will need to do some more digging.

Finally starting to get into the nitty gritty part dealing with religion. So far, a bit of a snooze, but I guess that's to be expected when you are reading from an objective point of view rather than a subjective point of view. I can understand this because it's trying to see religion from an outsider's point of view. Being subjective can often lead to favoritism. However it does raise an important question.

My only complaint, so far, with this book, other than that it is severely outdated to some degree, is that the book keeps going back and forth between using the words "Wiccan" and "Witch." I understand why the author does this... however, to the new "wiccan", this can be really confusing. Yes, all wiccans are witches, but not all witches are wiccans. I find this to be a gross error in judgement.

This book is amazing and extremely helpful. I have always been an intuitive type my whole life but the way I was raised, in retrospect, was to deny my feelings and listen only to words and ignore people's body language. Which led me down a dark path full in self doubt and constant questioning of my own perceptions due to this false belief and more "gas lighting" maneuvers than I would care to admit by my own family.
