Over all it is a fast but very good book. I love all of it. It makes you stop and think about being a bully or being bullied in school. Do they hate you or themselves?
I love the spider part. (I feel the same way about them.) It had me laughing so hard my brothers thought I was going to pass out.

I saw this story reviewed by several of my friends on GoodReads and it was receiving such praise, I had to check it out. Much to my delight, it's not only a delicious read, it's a FREE one too.
A quick short fic that will have you laughing and squirming in your seat!
Why I loved this read: I love stories that make me laugh and get me hot-and-bothered all at once and this story does just that! Plus, you gotta love the bully-turned-lover stories! ;)

Summary: When Alex wakes up one morning, and everything starts to go wrong, he knows it’s going to be one of those days. Things get worse when his high school bully, captain of the football team and meathead extraordinaire, Ric Saunders, shows up for an appointment at the chiropractic clinic where Alex works.
Things go from bad to worse in a comedy of errors that leaves Alex's head spinning. Has Ric turned into a crazed stalker, ready to pick up the bullying where he left off eight years before? Or has Ric got something else in mind this time?

Excerpt: “I’ve got an appointment for nine. Richard Saunders.”
“A bit late?” Janet snarled. “Eight minutes late is almost ten minutes late. Ten minutes late is not a bit.”
Go Janet! Let him have it. Set free the hormonal rage!
“I tried to call. Phone battery was dead.” Ric sounded exactly the same as he did in school and it made my skin crawl. “My mother’s in hospital. I came straight from the ER. Food poisoning.”
“Oh, I see.” From meltdown to temperate, Janet calmed. “I’m sorry to hear that.”
Don’t be sorry! I tried to will my thoughts to penetrate directly into Janet’s mind. The woman gave birth to him for God’s sake. She deserves to be punished!

This is a fabulous short story full of humour but tackling some pretty serious issues resulting from bullying. Quite a unique approach showing Ric's perspective and how his actions had impacted his life. It is a story about turning your life around, from both men's perspective, and second chances.
This graphic version contained wonderful illustrations that were like happy little surprises when the page was turned. Often I don't like illustrations as they don't match the characters as I imagine them. However in this case we are seeing Alex and Ric exactly as the author pictured them and they are beautiful men, wonderfully suited to the story.

Favourite quote:
In my infinite wisdom I’ve learned to never argue with a PMSing woman. It usually always ends in tears. Generally mine. Janet started humming. When she hums I know it means I should avoid eye contact, conversation, weak jokes I presume may cheer her up, and, if at all possible, refrain from breathing the same air as her.
LMAO! This is something my hubbie lives by!!
