I took a quiz on the author's blog and met the character Adam when he rated out as my ideal lover. I had to laugh out loud on reading the ebook's first page. If Bethany's sandals were switched out for my hikers we'd be kindred fashionistas. Hats and scarves off to Bohemian and Hippie chics. The Adams of the world always have a back story that the hearing of, to be truly appreciated, should be accompanied by a concerto de violino piccolo only Mendolsshon could have written and Anne Sophie Mutter exquisitely perform. Adam is not boyfriend or husband material. He envision's himself as a carefree and ageless youth embracing life. Remember the caricature of Dos Equis' The Most Interesting Man in the World? Adam typically trolls for women in the 18 to 21 age group. The author gives a nod to women over age 25, by having Adam acknowledge the interplay between women over 25 and ageless lost boys often ends in hurt feelings as the player gets played and the player - he don't like that. Adam's end game remains to be seen. Mike Wells is an extraordinary writer who (metaphorically) wields a mean shepherd's hook. His books and his blog indicate he is a keen observer of human nature who understands the human psyche and the myriad of emotions, colors and craziness that make up his characters. His characters and stories are well developed and believable. Oh, and he also says this book is based on a true story. Who's we wonder?
