Imagine a psychotic 'nice' guy with incel behaviour writing an erotica trying to appeal to women. That's it. That's the plot. I've read Tumblr posts better written than this. Very much worded in a middle schoolers way with short to the point sentances trying to fill up a school essay. Unenjoyable plot, writing, characters, and overall vibe. Sometimes it's ok take commissions from weirdos on the internet because at least it's not public.

 The best thing about this is the unexpected ending.

My version of the book was full of spelling mistakes, grammar, and punctuation errors. Not only that, the writing in the book is huge with loads of space so a lot of paper was wasted just to make the book have 69 pages.

Some parts I guess you can say are "extreme horror" though I would say it's just random and has one thing that is disgusting.

I wouldn’t really call this extreme horror. The story was interesting enough to want keep reading it but the gore and such was pretty mild. Definitely some gross out scenes but i didn’t find them that extreme.

                             Catfished and kidnapped. How well do you really know your book bestie?

        Charlie hasn't had the best of lives. His mother certainly didn't help matters. He knows he isn't the most attractive of men, not by a long shot. Still, he had a lot to offer. He would happily learn everything you wanted. Become the book-boyfriend of your dreams. He just wants to be loved. He is willing to do and become anything for the one he loves. 

        When Charlie discovers the book community, he poses as a woman. After meeting Jessie, a self-published erotic author, he falls head over heels. He is sure once Jessie realizes that her bestie may be a man but is, in fact, the perfect man for her. Ready to bring all of her darkest scenes to life, they will have their happily ever after. 

        He just needs her to stay put long enough for him to prove it.

If you're looking for a quick read that will make you gag and reconsider that buddy-read, this is it.
