Review: I wardrobe this book!
Rating: 5 out of 5

This truly is a Tom Conrad special novella. One that shouldn't be missed.We've all had those times when we weren't sure which punctuation would best suit that piece we've just written. Sometimes we have to re-read it, re-edit it, only to find that it still doesn't sound/look right. I, myself, tend to overuse the comma...oh, and the ellipsis...my favourite! So, I could identify with the main character, Frankie. He loves forward slashes/new thoughts a bit more than I do, but all-in-all, Frankie seemed like he knew what he was wanting to write, how to write it...and that he was a good guy.Frankie meets Abbey through Twitter and instant messaging, their relationship blossoming over the weeks to include having sex/moving in together. However, just because you say you wardrobe someone doesn't make it true. Add in the fact that two people can't always agree on the right punctuation for a story, well...things just can't end well.I loved this book, and as I said in previous reviews, this is classic Tom at his best. His dark humour is present in every cheeky forward slash, every distrustful semicolon, every continuing ellipsis...and wardrobe.Will that semicolon bitch die a most unfortunate/much deserved death? Could the semicolon and forward slash ever get along? And what's a wardrobe got to do with it?Ah yes, the Tom Conrad humour. You need to read this one to find out. Don't miss this dark/but humorous take on romance, punctuation and the effects the two have on each other.As always, 5 stars!
