Hot Pterodactyl Boyfriend by Alan Cumyn
1.0
ROMANCE
Shiels has everything going for her: she is student body chair at her highschool, she has the perfect boyfriend, and she is on track to earn her way into a top university. But everything changes when Pyke, a pterodactyl, begins attending her school. Soon, she finds herself under his spell, irresistable aura, and pterodactyl muscles that begin to unravel her so-called perfect life.
I wish this book was as exciting and hilarious as the premise sounded. I was hoping for a book that didn't take itself too seriously, a sort of spin off of Twilight and similar romances, but with the most unsexy, unusual choice as a love interest; a pterodactyl. What I got was a 400-page, choppy and overly serious drag that I had a hard time slogging my way through. I was bothered with the amount of running Shiels did in this novel, and that somehow her yellow shoes and the weird old shoe shop mentor that teaches her how to breathe are supposed to provide greater metaphors about life. The whole novel seemed to move at a snails pace, and I just wish it didn't take itself so seriously. I wasn't expecting a life-changing, thought-provoking novel, which unfortunately seems like what this novel was trying to be, but failed horribly.
