I've read a lot of books in my life - hell, I've read a lot of books just this week - and Squirm is hands down the funniest book I've ever read. I was practically dying from laughter even as I tried to maintain calm so as not to wake the baby. It was impossible. Sure, not everyone is going to love and laugh at this book as much as I did. I feel sad for them because that means they're either dead or completely humorless. I almost think the second one is worse. What's a life worth if you can't laugh about tentacle sex, after all?? As a book, Squirm is silly, frivolous and wayyyyyy over the top. It didn't jump the shark, it jumped the squid. As a parody, it's genius. It takes all the ridiculous notions and overworked themes that we, as loyal and addicted romance/erotica readers, know and love and spins a tale so far-fetched and so beautiful I ugly cried. From laughter. I "buddy read" this book with Erin and dear God in heaven, it was the best Saturday night I've had in years. (A sad, but true, reflection of the state of my life...) Our back-and-forth private messages were only topped by the sheer awesomeness/ridiculousness of this book. F*#^, I've just started laughing again because TENTACLE SEX.There's not a lot I can tell you about the "plot" of this book. It says it all in the title - Squirm: Virgin Captive of the Billionaire Biker Tentacle Monster. I'm not kidding - that's the perfect summary of this book. Just think of every billionaire-biker-alpha male book you've ever read and assume that some or all of those plots will be reflected in this, the BEST. BOOK. EVER.The author, Cari Silverwood, deserves an award. Squirm is ballsy. She's basically flipping the bird to all the crazy/strange/weird erotica out there and damn if that isn't exactly what the genre needs. Please everyone, read this book and then I swear you'll just start randomly quoting it for no reason. Basically every line is quotable, so it shouldn't be an issue - you'll never run out of lines.In the end all I'm trying to say, in this review that's probably longer than the book itself, is that I am a tentacle pervert and I'm proud of it. And I don't even like Calamari.5 stars plus an extra star for each tentacle.~ Beth
