seawarrior's review against another edition
4.0
This was an entertaining read that I didn't want to put down, even thought I usually don't enjoy relationship fiction. I found the abundance of humor and honesty very refreshing, and though the formatting was odd at first, that feeling didn't linger for long. I remained interested in the leading character's story throughout all his imperfection, lust and heartbreak, and relished his wit and wisdom.
