I found this short story/part 1 of a serialized novel to be hard to believe. The female lead, Annika, is almost schizophrenic in the way she acts at home versus the way she acts at work and with friends. She supposedly works part-time for less than $10/hr so she has to live with her Bible thumping Jehovah's Witness mother, yet she has no problem finding money for new hot outfits, expensive sex toys, Jimmy Choo shoes, and going out to night clubs with her friend. She also drinks alcohol in her mom's house, right in front of her with no repercussions and has access to prescription antianxiety drugs, yet she can't close her bedroom door for privacy because her mom wants to know what she's doing all the time.The plot, such as it is, is also hard to believe. The world famous rock star is going to spill his guts and secrets to a nobody/unknown interviewer from an online local blog and ask her to write his autobiography as well? On the basis of a five minute acquaintance? His sexual "rule" is also beyond bizarre, and I have to personally disagree that it's something everyone needs to be fulfilled. The only virtue I could find with Cage was his view on the need for hard work and drive to accomplish your goals, something that many young people are sadly lacking, even if they are talented or intelligent.Annika's internal dialogue has a serious profanity problem. There is so much profanity and focus on her need for sex that I was totally turned off. It wasn't sensual at all, just crass and crude.  I'm glad this was free, because I would have wanted my money back.Heat factor hot.
