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.

                             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.

CW: kidnapping, blood, violence, murder, bodily fluids, sexual content, rape, fatphobia, body shaming, incel nonsense (this part the author did really spot on, honestly. half a star for that. another half star for being short and the ending scene making me laugh in a good for her kind of way)

this is not extreme horror. this feels more like the author started writing a kidnapping erotica from the kidnappers pov, but then realised it was close to Halloween so wanted to throw in some gross scenes to hopefully make people scared. you occasionally get uncomfortable, and the last scenes made me laugh, but again, this isn't extreme horror. no matter what the synopsis says. It's just an erotica writer trying to be gross for the sake of being gross but kind of failing. imo, of course.

also the authors note on the back of this one is kind of hilarious: "this book is disgusting, and you probably shouldn't read it"

you were right. I probably shouldn't have read it, but mostly because it's just bad 🤷🏻‍♀️
