Emory James is, by his own admission, not the type of person the adjective exciting would ever deign to touch with a ten-foot pole. Cautious, reserved and staid, however, all crowd around him like best friends. Still, he gets by -- or at least he gets by up until his fiancée dumps him at the altar. Out of spite, he takes a solo honeymoon to Thailand, where he can pretend to be someone better than himself for a little while.

So, where can I get this so I don't have to buy it from Amazon. I'm assuming it's a self-pub.

This was adorable and funny. Emory had a wit about him, and the narration kept me very entertained. After being jilted at the altar (by a woman), he decides to go on his honeymoon alone. There, he meets fellow vacationer, Nate. They became friends, hooked up, and thought they'd never see each other again. A few months later, Nate shows up in Emory's life and he is thrilled. He struggles a bit with the notion of being gay or bi, but luckily he works through it. These two were great together. This had a lot less on-page sex than I am used to, but it was still enjoyable.

This was sweet. And then meh.
Let me elaborate.

The Good:
-The writing. My English if far from perfect but I think I only found few mistakes.
-I liked the narrator.
-Great banter.
-Sweet stuff. Friends become lovers is great.
-Now I want to go to Thailand.

The Bad:

-Hmm there needed to be sex somewhere here. It felt anti-climatic to skip it.
-I knew the bitch was coming. I would have kicked her or something. So predictable.
-The funeral. How original. Not.
-All the problems seemed to be on Em's head. Everyone's like "oh yeah, I got that before you told me"

I'd probably read something else by this author. If it had some sex. It's not like all stories need it, but this one does.

ETA: Goodreads, you suck at html. No bullets? Seriously? ( )

Okay I really liked this book. It's has great inner dialogue and some great snarkiness. I like both main character. My complaint is that it was predictable. The moment the runaway bride make an appearance it became way to familiar. 3.75 stars. ( )
