Sunny: SRAL...you haven't read Sam and Mitch?! omg...Ann..she
needs to read that scene in the truck
Sunny: you know the one...
Cuppers: You gotta read that fairy tale!!! That fairy tale is
the shiznizzle!
Ann: YES! And the scene in the park. And the scene in the
bar!
SRAL: buttsex?
Cuppers: OMG the bar scene… *sighs*
Lorix: The scene in the bar...
Ann: A plethora of buttsex
Lorix: Should we start the chat??
Sunny: okay, let me grab the blurb...
Ann: Blurb it!
Sunny: I didn't know. How could I? All through high school, I
was beaten up and teased for being gay. But I wasn't gay. Or didn't think I
was. Now Wes, the guy across the street who's taken me under his wing and
been the best friend I've ever had, won't stop invading my dreams, hell, my
every waking thought. Am I gay? Because I'm thinking I'd like to kiss him.
Actually, I'm thinking there's a lot more I'd like to do with his mouth and
the rest of that tall, confident, muscular body. Ah, man... I'm so gay! But
what if he doesn't feel the same way about me? And, Jesus, what about my
parents? And those bastards from school are still around. And I'm supposed
to go to college this fall... Shit, I need to sit down. I can't breathe and
I'm about to shake apart. Then Wes puts his hand on the back of my neck,
gives me one of those encouraging squeezes and his bright smile, and
everything's okay again. Yeah, I'm hooked. Oh, boy...
Cuppers: So much buttsex. Oodles of buttsex. And feelz.
Ann: *awkward
SRAL: I like that together
Ann: hahahahahahahahaha
SRAL: LMAO buttsex
B: Lol!
Ann: I love you Cuppity
Lorix: Confession - I read this book in September and have read a gazillion since...but I do remember I liked it!
B: So..... this is the cutest book EVER.
SRAL: I read this book...a year or 3 ago but I loved it =)
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Ann: I loved, loved, loved how much Mal finally felt loved
and wanted
B: Aw! Me too.
Sunny: I read it 2 years ago, but re-read it today...and loved
it all over again =)
Lorix: Yeah, cos his family were horrid if I remember
correctly
Ann: It's going to be a reread for me
Sunny: Mal was such a sweetheart
Sunny: his parents were awful...
B: And every time Wes told Mal he was cute or adorable
<3
SRAL: =) ♥
Ann: They were awful! But, I really liked that the author
didn't make him all victim-y and pathetic
Sunny: he wasn't at all victim-y...
SRAL: The heart is for Wes and Mal. Not the parents. They
suck moose knuckles
Sunny: I'm not sure I bought into it, though...they seemed
too one-dimensional
Ann: They were more like a vehicle for the story, not
characters
Sunny: I think so, too, Ann
Sunny: I called them Charlie Brown parents in my new
review...there, but not really
Ann: Yup and LOL @ moose knuckles
Ann: Perfect analogy Sunshine!
Lorix: My review said..3.75 This book is just the right side
of adorable. It's feel good and any angst is minimal and dealt with
immediately. Maybe a suspension of belief is required but for such a yum
story I'm pretty sure you won't care.
Cuppers: I love that they got it on like randy teenagers.
That's what I look for in my YA. No stamina but they reload w/a quickness! =D
Lorix: Yes Ann! That's it exactly!
Ann: I'm totally down with that too! They were horny little
monkeys and I enjoyed their business muchly
Sunny: I love that Mal got a little slutty...
Sunny: "I probably looked a little slutty with my ass
out like that, but I was hoping he’d like it."
Lorix: Randy teens are randy
SRAL: =D
Ann: Wes gave him all the slutty confidence. Twas hot
Lorix: and they were all in love and stuff. <3
SRAL: Buttsex!
Lorix: All the sex
SRAL: I liked the follow up too.
Sunny: “Malcolm Small, meet your prostate.”
Lorix: Can we talk about the fugly cover???
Ann: Ok - how much did y'all love when Mal got toppy???
Sunny: I LOVED when Mal got toppy!
B: He was so innocent too. Wes made him want to be
slutty.
SRAL: That's true love right there
Lorix: I liked the follow up and Mal getting toppy...mmmm mmm
Ann: SFY should be a new thing. Slutty For You
B: True love, indeed.
Lorix: It's a trust thing and I like that between characters
B: Ugh the cover.
Lorix: SFY ftw!
Cuppers: I haven't read the follow up but I will!
Ann: SlutLove = Sluve
SRAL: Fuck hearts and candy, true love = being a slut for
your partner.
Cuppers: Sluve is a good band name
Ann: The Sluve Riders
Lorix: Big G would agree L
SRAL: *high fives Big G*
Lorix: Oohhh, I'd go and see the Sluve Riders. They'd perform
topless, right?
Ann: Bottomless!
Lorix: Even better!!
Ann: Assless Chaps!
SRAL: Bottomless?!!!
SRAL: Aw yeah!!!
Ann: They perform in the lounge at The Swinging Pinkus
SRAL: LMAO
Cuppers: I wanna be the barback at The Swinging Pinkus
Lorix: I think we should definitely go and see them. Well you
know, if they were real and all...
Cuppers: Barbacks have all the fun
Ann: You mean bareback?
SRAL: >:D
Ann: Taking deliveries through the backdoor!
Lorix: Anyway...back to the book!
Sunny: I'm back...found a quote from the toppy scene =)
Sunny: “I stared at his ass for a moment, watching my cum
slide out of him. God, was it normal to feel so possessive of him while
watching that? To know it was mine, that I’d done that to him, that he’d
taken it eagerly, begged for it? It was a damn heady rush.”
SRAL: GAWD DAYUM!
Sunny: IKR?!
Ann: Oh yeah. Yeah, that was good stuff.
SRAL: If that quote doesn't push some button...I swear...
Ann: I liked "Come for me, Wes," I said, my voice
sounding deeper and harsher. "Come. Now!" And damn if he didn't.
Right then, like he obeyed me. It was wicked perfection.
Cuppers: NO, barback. The peeps that do all the
"grunt" work for the bartender.
Cuppers: Oops. That's out of place now, isn't it? :/
Sunny: I also liked a different time when Wes said this...
Sunny: "He leaned in, cupping my cheek with his other
hand, and said against my lips, 'When I come all over you, you’ll be a
dirty little angel.' "B: I liked "But you were the first and will always
be the best sprinkle I've ever known"
SRAL: How about a bareback barback?
B: Made me all sappy
Sunny: I loved the sprinkle quotes
Ann: I loved the sprinkle talk too!
Cuppers: I was just about to say that!
Ann: Samesies!! Again!
Cuppers: The first & will always be the best sprinkle.
*squee*
Ann: *sigh
Cuppers: I also really liked that Wes was so smitten.
Ann: He so was. And so protective. And Mal was adorably
clueless about it
Cuppers: AND that Mal was the first guy he'd been w/to take an
interest in his car stuff. #cuteness
Ann: And Mal didn’t even care about cars, just cared about
Wes
Ann: D'awwwwwwww
Sunny: "I wanted to blurt it out to her. To just tell
her I was gay and liked her son. But, really, I needed to tell him
first."
Sunny: I liked when he figured it out ;)
Lorix: Okay, I'm feeling the urge to reread this book!
Ann: That was cute. I loved his inner dialog
B: I kind of hoped he did blurt it all out to the mom
Ann: He was so charming without even meaning to be
B: It would have been awesomely awkward/funny
Sunny: That would have been cute!
Ann: His mom would have loved it too
Sunny: I just wanted to hug him...when I wasn't laughing at
his thoughts
Cuppers: I thought Mal calling him "my Wes" was
adorbz too. SO MUCH ADORBZ SQUEEZED INTO ONE LITTLE BOOK!!!
B: You should reread, Lori! I just did and I loved it
just as much.
Lorix: I will! I'm starting to remember how cute it is!
Sunny: I don't want to talk about the bullying because it
made me so mad
Ann: I hate to think about what he went through. I'm glad
he found his inner badass with Wes
Sunny: "I’d wasted so much time, so much of my life,
trying to escape being me because those assholes had made me hate myself
before I’d even figured out who I really was."
Sunny: that broke my heart =(
Ann: ^^^^^^^That Sunny! That right there
Lorix: You have the best quotes!
Sunny: He did find his inner badass! And it was awesome =)
Sunny: I was highlighting like crazy, Lori
B: With color coding? =)
Cuppers: I didn't like the bullying but I liked that Wes
bolstered Mal to standing up for himself. That park scene was hilarious!
Sunny: I loved the park scene, too, Cupcake
Lorix: LOL!
Ann: I'm glad he got mad too. He didn’t have a stupid pity
party. He got happy. And laid. And loved. The best revenge!
Sunny: Yes!!!
Sunny: …and of course color coding!
Cuppers: You know it was color coded. it's Sunnykins!
Ann: LOL B!
Lorix: Lol at the colour code, not the bullying!
B: I'm so bad at highlighting.
Ann: Me too B.
Lorix: Me three!
Lorix: “I'm glad he got mad too. He didn’t have a stupid pity
party. He got happy. And laid. And loved. The best revenge!”
<<<< THIS!
Sunny: one color for things I like, one color for things I
don't, and one color for editing issues
Lorix: I tend to highlight bits that annoy me more than bits
I love!
Ann: I think, I should highlight that. But then I gotta
move my finger and stuff and then SQUIRREL!
Cuppers: Oh my… someone's highly organized.
B: Sunny, can you be my life manager?
Sunny: lol...of course!
Cuppers: Seriously.
Ann: I do that too Lori! If I love it I'm too busy reading
B: If something makes
me majorly swoon, I'll highlight
Ann: Or irritate the holy
living crapola out of me.
Ann: I'm writing a review
for a book with the WORST continuity issues on the planet and there is so
much highlighted I have to reread the whole damn book to review them all
Lorix: Yes B, if
something is amazing I highlight but generally more for niggles!
SRAL: Bummer.
Sunny: I hate
continuity issues...I always think I missed something and I have to go back
to check
SRAL: Sometimes I get
too caught up and I forget to highlight. Or sometimes I highlight just
about everything
Ann: That's why I started
highlighting. I don't want to call an author out on something if it's my
stupid memory
Lorix: Sometimes I have to stop and google to check if it's
an Americanism and if it isn't then I highlight. Like the author who used
drug as the past tense for drag. CONTINUOUSLY. Drove me batty!
Sunny: So, what else
about the book?
Ann: I love it super hard and I
will read it repeatedly and hug it and pet it all the time.
Sunny: It is definitely worth a
re-read
Lorix: I remember enjoying it a
lot and all your quotes have made me want to reread. I do want to tell
people not to be put off by the cover. Sorry designer but it's ugly!
B: Just as good the second
time around
SRAL: I think I need to reread
Sunny: yes, you do!
Cuppers: I would reread. I would
like to superimpose a different cover on it, though. Because wretched.
Sunny: It really wasn't a good
cover =/
Ann: It hurt my sensibilities
Lorix: Sometimes a yummy little
read is just what I need.
Lorix: And, if it hadn't been
rec'd to me by J, I would totally never have read it because of the
cover...
Sunny: I put it on my
"hugged my ereader" shelf
SRAL: I rec this book to newbie
MM readers
Lorix: Good call SRAL
Sunny: It's got a nice dose of
naughty in it
Cuppers: Great shelf name is great.
=)
Ann: I've avoided it because of
the cover. Boo! I would have loved them a long time ago!
Sunny: thanks, Cupcake!
Ann: This is YA I can get
behind.
Ann: hehehe
Sunny: lol...Ann
Cuppers: Right? Because buttsex.
Ann: This is YA I can top
Sunny: or on top of...
Sunny: lmao!
Ann: HA!
SRAL: I wasn't as put off by the
cover. I learned my lesson with other covers drawn by the artist - the
books are pretty rocking. Except for like 1 but I discovered it was a
me and author's styles don't mix
Cuppers: And very little teen angst
Ann: Thanks sweet grilled
cheezus! I hate teen angst!
Sunny: I don't
like all their drama *shudders*
Cuppers: Teen
angst wears me down.
Ann: I hated teen
angst when I was a teen
SRAL: Would you look
at that? The NYIM party has embraced a YA book!
Ann: BOOM!
SRAL: This calls for
a celebration! Drinks for all
Ann: Cheers!
Sunny: Cheers!
B: Woot!
Ann: *clink
SRAL: *double clink
Ann: *clunk <------
red solo cup
Lorix: *raises
cup of coffee*
Sunny: so...any
other favorite quotes?
Ann: Hold please for
quotes
Lorix: I like
well written angst and not angst that is there for the sake of being
there!
Cuppers: The
only thing I can think of was the poem. I melted a little over the
poem.
Lorix: if that
makes sense
Cuppers: At
least Mal's parents didn't suck it like the parent's in The Roommate
Situation. FUCK THEM. IN THE EYE. SIDEWAYS.
Ann: "God it felt
so good to do this while holding on to him! It was desperate and basic
and so unbelievably wonderful to feel him wanting me, hear him loving
this too. How he made me feel was fantastic, but knowing how I made him
feel was even better."
Sunny: aww…good
one, Ann
Cuppers: Awwwww
*sniffles*
Sunny: that really
was an awesome scene
B: Aw! I want to hug them
and squeeze them forever
Lorix: Great quote
Ann: Everything else was
all Sunshine's quotes =D
Sunny: I was a quote hog this
time *nods*
Lorix: I think y'all should
read The Roommate Situation. It's more NA than YA but it's GOOD!
Ann: I have that one. I
need to read it. I like her words.
Lorix: But they were great
quotes Sunny.
Cuppers: Except those fucking
parents!!!!!!
Ann: You nailed it
Sunshine.
Lorix: So I 3.75'd this book.
Who knows, after a re-read this may change.
Lorix: Except the parents
Cuppers I agree!
Cuppers: >:( >:( >:(
Ann: 4.5 Hearts for me!
Sunny: I gave it 4 hearts =)
B: 4.5 for me, too
Ann: Cuppers is fussy
Cuppers: It was 4 for me as
well.
Lorix: fussy about the
parents in TRS
SRAL: 4.5 Hearts! =)
Lorix: Oooh - I defo need to
re-read. Maybe I was a grumpy bum last time I read it!
Sunny: Do it, Lori!
Cuppers: I'm sure you can read
it in ab/15-20 mins.
SRAL: “Remember how it felt
yesterday? What you saw me do?” I snorted and grinned. “Man, do I
ever. I remembered twice last night and again this morning.”
<~~~ in my quotes arsenal
Ann: HA! That was a good
one!
Sunny: lol...I loved that,
too, L!
Cuppers: Baby brought the
goods!!! Atta girl! ;)
Lorix: I will!! Just working
through my blog books, my Sterek and the stories I want to write.
O___o
Lorix: Lol. Being a quick
reader is my only talent. It's the only thing I've ever been good
at!!
Sunny: Final words?
Cuppers: READ IT!!!!! Pay no
attention to the cover.
Cuppers: Unless you're Baby
& like it. =)
SRAL: Missy Welsh's YA
rocks.
SRAL: Even if you're not a
YA-er...you'll probably like it
Lorix: close your eyes at the
cover and then dive into the goodness!
Ann: Excellent advice
Lori
SRAL: Agreed!
