If you are a fan of the November Blue Series by Andrea Randall (how could you not be?), then Bar Crawl is a MUST read. If you haven't had the pleasure of reading the November Blue Series, I encourage you to check it out from the beginning. You will not be sorry. Bar Crawl is a fun little read centering around CJ, a character that we first met in Sweet Forty-Two. He comes across as a partying, womanizing, jokester who's talents don't extend beyond the bedroom and beating drumsticks in a band. But in this novella, we learn so much more. CJ is amazing. Flawed but misunderstood in more ways than one. I just loved getting to know the real him.My affection for the main female character, Frankie was almost immediate. So much so that she almost replaced my favorite female character of Andrea Randall's (Georgia)... ALMOST.Randall's ability to make you fall in love with her characters is brilliant. They burn your brain and weasel their way into you soul and you form attachments. This story is no different. I especially LOVED the moment that she reveals what CJ's true job is, which of course I won't reveal in this review. I hate when people spoil books in their reviews. Read it for yourself and you are sure to love it equally.Everything about this novella is awesome. The humor, the sexual tension, the angst and resisting, the build up, the love, the genuine relatable characters, just ALL of it. Buy it, read it, love it.
