I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review

This is such a tough one to review for me. On one hand, I absolutely LOVED it, and on the other hand, I hated some parts.

I absolutely loved the humor in this book. It was snarky, funny, outlandish at times, and awesome. I found myself laughing at Liam throughout it and I thought this was very well written.

It took me a while to fall in like with the characters (I can't say I am in love yet. I started to, and then by the end I was so frustrated with them that they fell out of love status). The story is told from Liam's point of view, which is what makes this book so funny. Despite that, I never really got a sense of his relationship with Manny. Why did Liam fall in love with him? We are just told that Liam likes him and is falling for him, we never really see it. I think that had I seen more of this, I would have been more invested in them. As it was, they have great sex, start dating, and then are in love. Very quick with very little insight into the actual relationship.

The guys finally start communicating and things go well, until they stop communicating again. Angst ensues. Now for my frustration, then it ends. The book ends with them broken up. I HATE THIS!!! Manny was the first one to talk about needing to communicate. He has gotten jealous and tried to walk, but then realized they needed to talk. After time goes by, finally when something happens to Manny and Liam gets jealous, Manny all of a sudden leaves. No talking. No discussion. It seemed out of character to me.

I don't want to wait for another volume for resolution, or if I have to, let there be another volume waiting for me to read, or the promise of a new one soon. I am left in limbo with the feeling like Liam and I were cheated of a complete story. I don't like that feeling. If there is another volume to come, I may end up re-reading this and finding that I love it more since I have more to know about. Knowing it ended here, though, pulls me out of love with the book.

With that said, though, the writing was great. It was funny it was smart. I LOVED Liam's articles. Very clever career to write about that you don't see often. I did enjoy that. ( )
