One night, feeling depressed in desperation he calls a number for phone sex he finds on t...

well we don't really know the whole truth about Riley, yet and that is probably part of the reason that this was 4 stars for me not 5. I like my title and story to be in sync and I didn't feel they were totally. But this for me was still an excellent read so many moments that had me laughing and cry...

This was a cute book. It could have been a great book, and I know most of my fellow reviewers are spitting their coffee out right now, seeing I only gave it two and a half stars. Yes, it was cute, but no, it wasn’t the best it could have been. First of all, ninety percent of the story is already i...

tl;dr versionGreat concept. Execution was a bit lacking.the usual "comments I made as I was reading and didn't bother to organize cuz who organizes streams of consciousness?Okay. If the dude is the that dude, why does he not see him on the phone? And why does he not see Riley's lips moving when he h...

I had goosebumps and all the feelz by the end of this book. New to me author Henrietta Clarke delivers a strong novel about the power of love and the beauty within.Riley, a young man in his twenties, was in a fire three years prior that scarred parts of his body, including his face. He has since liv...

Sweet, and romantic, but Riley got on my nerves twoards the end. I understand his issues, but it got old twoards the end. Like it had been dragged out just a bit too long. I really liked the supporting cast, and I'm hoping that Drew gets his own book in the future. I quite liked his part in the stor...
