What an interesting book. It was intelligent, funny (hilarious in some parts), sexy, insightful...surprising. It was a REALLY new take on romance & also an inventive journey of self-awareness & self-improvement.I got this book because Luke Young wrote it. I just love his works. His "voice" just speaks to me. I never read the description or any reviews. So, I had no expectations. Kind of a "blind read" for me.I enjoyed it from the 1st page but didn't get too "into" the book for a bit. I love the random thoughts that the character had. Things I can relate to like his pondering of the various pastas. I just "got" him. I also share his passion for food & sex.As the book progressed I got more emotionally invested in Ben & his story. By the end, I really loved that dude. Although there was some unbelievable things in this story, it was told in a realistic way that was easy for me to relate to. The characters were so human. Ben could be annoying, silly, selfish & negative. However, in the end, he was a really good guy with a good heart.The views on youth & aging were interesting but not always comforting. Maybe a bit too real. As always, in Luke's writing, the sex is brutally honest, funny & has heat. I also enjoyed the action/suspense parts! What a surprise. What a fun ride!This was a truly interesting, satisfying journey. I loved the humor. I loved the ending. I really loved this book. It made me look at my own life a bit differently. How often can you say that about a romantic comedy?
