This is like Stephen King's Misery but on steroids and without depth or decent editing. I had the passing thought that maybe this was a satirical take on the dark romance genre, and maybe it is? It's short, and I said "ew" a lot while reading it.

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.

If the goal of this book is to gross someone out, mission achieved. Very fast pace and no complex plots or twists.

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.
