The plot of this book is actually pretty good and it's definitely sweet enough, but I just couldn't connect to any character. The beginning of this held a lot of promise, but gradually I just started to find myself getting more and more distracted while reading. If this had been more fully developed and longer, I could see this plot and the characters really turning into something fantastic. As it stands, it just left me feeling like I got 1/3 of a story.

Yeah, I was so not feeling it. I didn't feel like their was enough presented about either character for me to care, and Russell and Luke's interactions were strange. Maybe it was the POV, but I just couldn't see how Luke didn't understand where Russell's hesitation and shyness was coming from considering how he maintains shelter. The secondary characters were just stand-ins.

Bummer!! And I so wanted to read this next!
me too but I don't want to read any more "meh" books hahahahahaha thanks weasel LOL
Sorry you didn't like it Jenn. I'm on the love train for sure :)
Jenn is a poopyhead. I liked it and didn't think it was too short. ;p
Ya'll are cracking me up. I think I will read it just to figure out what the deal is ;) If it is that short I will tonight. I hope I am on the love train...I am tired of meh books.
@Kimberly & Lenore, you both will probably love it. Of the 60+ friends of mine that have read this I'm the only 2 star. And no 1's. @Kate & Christina, I am a poopyhead, but I want to be on the love train for a book!
@Daniel, yes, exactly. I also wouldn't classify this as anything remotely cheating. But, yeah, he uses companionship/sex whatever for shelter. I haven't read Pressure Head yet. It might just be this author for me. Most of my friends adored Muscling Through & I liked it, but I wasn't in love with it.
Ok I did like it...Luke pissed me off and I wanted Russell to shave, but it was a cute quick read
No, a little goatee is fine but a friggin full beard and calling it whiskers is kind of a turn off...I just pretended that was never said...haha
Glad you enjoyed it! I knew I was the odd man out.And, Weasel, I'll have to check out that other one at some point.

You too??? Gahhh, I hate full on beards even in fiction.
Unless you look like Jackson
I wanted Russel to shave, too. Squick.
