Thank you Goodreads for the book to review.

I'm literally in tears because of how the book ended.

I took my time reading this because I was not emotionally ready for a romance like this book.

When Rene was struck by lightning, things changed. Tommy wanted nothing but to find Rene in astral planes. There he met Pris who was doing the same but for her friend.

This book is perfect choice for those who want something in the LGBTQ genre as well as fantasy and more.

The book is beautiful written. The show more chapters are easily to understand. The characters grew a lot in the book.

I highly recommend it!

The text is actually the Underminer speaking, plus here and there a souvenir. No matter what the silent object of the monologue does, shse's mocked, upstaged, and yes, undermined. Having had a few of these people in my life myself, I found it delightful.

ORANGE COUNTY TYPE "A" SNARKYNESS

The protagonist / instigator of this mess of a book is hardened to any state of inner compassion for his fellow human "friend" ( whom apparently he cannot stand to have as a pal), and lacking in said ability to form a bond with the guy, he resorts to killing his (competition in life) his friend with pure unadulterated snarkiness.
That snark monster appears at every paragraph with complete consistency. This guys a ToTaL Jerk and what's worse he is proud of it.
. show more The constant rate of his foolhardy behavior toward this person, ought to be capped off sometimes if there is any sense of propriety, but he has none of that business. This is probably the second worst book I have ever read, and no...my time is too valuable so I did Not Deem to finish this one. It is my personal opinion that, the average person (having compassion) will not be able to appreciate this book in the least. The judgmental attitude and nasty comments become intolerable by about page forty. If you find this book in a free box or for ten cents I would advise you check it out, as a what-not-to-do guide. Otherwise I would ask you to not waste your money or time on it. Character assassination is the name of the game here and little else. Now if you are trying to get that Orange County Privaledged AiR about you, and want to kill off some friend, (because perhaps you don't know how to make healthy boundries)I suggest it highly. But be sure to offer them a death where you just skin them alive which is much faster, me thinks. Oh I can be snarky too, but actually mine is much funnier!
;~})

Summary: The Orange County psychopath next door gets a bad book written about all the ferocious things he is allowed to say to his victim / friend, this book is totally worth at least a penny.
UGH!

The first worst book? Drop City. H A T E D I T! After this so called book, on my worst list you will find Tortilla Curtain and that nasty book about crack use by that weird liar dude who got outed since it was a "memoir" found out to be mostly fiction....I forget his name I hated t hat book so, so much, cannot recall the books name either...help me out, here?

I have met someone SoMeThiNG like the arrogant freak who spouts off in this book, but the guy had an inkling of morals, so not the same kind of cat, at all actually.

the first couple of chapters are funny, but it gets repetitive as going along.
