now listen we all know what we want from this genre. we know why they are becoming more popular. so put your morals aside and put your cynic self aside(that me included) and just enjoy this wonderful book. because it is indeed a wonderful ride of a book. and it was dark but funny and just great. i laughed inside aswell as out and did those "ha" moments at how clever it was sometimes. it was a wacky book in all its glory.
David is our main characters. hes bestselling author who isnt best selling anymore and his time to write another one is running out. but he cant. he just cant come up with the goods. i felt like i was reading a really well " feeling" of writers block and it was spiralling all sense of himself and his life fast. this is all exacerbated by troubles in his home life with his dad and now his ex. Danielle copes with this by perusing the online dating world. one such night thought went a little too far beyond swipe left. because he wakes up to find his date is in bed next to him...dead. now when you think of this scenario you have an idea of what one would do right? what anyone would do right? weeeeell this isnt going to go that way at all. because instead of doing the "right" think David of course panics. and this is when he calls his person. his agent Stacey. and instead of doing the right thing and reporting it they decide to cover it up. whaaaaaat! haha i mean come on we are already hooked to read what comes next arent we?
this book is clever and adorable in how unique it was for me. loved it.

This was a fun read and I hadn't expected it to have such a madcap element. I liked the characters and there was a lot of wisdom in the narrator when he talked about growing up gay and about his loneliness and his writing career. It had a rom com type sub plot which worked well for me. There were sexually explicit scenes but they didn't feel gratuitous or gross. A fun read with underlying serious messages.

I enjoyed reading this - it was funny and a bit ridiculous, but had a serious message about loneliness and how success can go up and down in life. The characters of Daniel and Stacey were brilliant. The ending was unexpected - partly melodrama and partly sentimental, so a little bit disappointing. to me for some reason. I think it would make a great comedy movie.
