If you follow Rob's blog, Inspired by Caffeine & Nicotine, then you know him to be this wild-man who always has something to say whether its about tomatoes or what exactly constitutes Treat or Trick (I really LOVED that post, I gotta tell you).Rob is extremely funny. He will take any subject, do a thorough autopsy on it and present back it to you in such a way that you will either fall out laughing or scratch your head with a "WTF??" look on your face.For all of his hilarity, there's another side to Rob that few have seen and its very unexpected. This latest offering not only deals with the breakup of his long-time relationship but also with his own unanswered questions about what he did, didn't do and could have done differently. Rob's vulnerability is exposed here. I was sincerely heartbroken while reading what must have been very painful for him to write. He talks about childhood experiences, his little idiosyncrasies and things that some people would have found uncomfortable to reveal.Rob, I applaud you for that.But its not all sad.With his trademark and (very wicked) sense of humor, Rob delves into the next challenge that is thrown at him and her name is "Gertrude". I loved her from the first moment she opened her mouth. Gertrude is the type of woman that you would want as a friend. She has her own story which adds to the depth of Strangers on a Bus. You just can't help but to embrace her.Girl, I've got your back...for real.Through a series of "dates" they share pieces of themselves that will have you laughing hysterically one minute, and teary-eyed on the second. Is it fate? I hope so. Gertrude is sexy, funny and gives Rob a run for his money. I think they are well suited for each other.Rob is at his humorous best. His thoughts on life, love and everything in between will have you racing through the pages. I read this twice and if I try to comment on everything, this post would be way twice as long. That's how much I loved it. I can't stress that enough. And the ending?? Oh. My. God.I've already put in a demand for a sequel.You can see my complete review at my blog: [...]
