My Summer Friend

By Ophelia Rue

LOVE, OBSESSION, SECRETS: Charismatic college student Ed Grey's life is a carousel of one night stands until inheriting his childhood home after his grandparent's death. As summer arrives, he moves in, reliving his past as a quiet, shy, loner by day and obsessively watching for his childhood crush Elise through his telescope by night. The fragile shell of his identity begins to crack after she doesn't recognize him during a chance encounter and falls in love with the caricature he has invented. As he becomes entangled in a complex web of lies, a small metal box abandoned in the garage waits to be discovered. The secret it contains changes everything. This edgy novella is a modern American love story that offers a glimpse into the psyche of a disturbed young man.Black and white edition.

Absolute garbage

I don't say this lightly because I understand subject matter and style varies widely based on taste and preference, but this book is absolute garbage. Admittedly I didn't make it past the first 10 pages or so, but that was well enough to realize it is very poorly written, crass, extremely amateurish, and not worth another minute of my time. I wouldn't even donate it to a thrift store and tossed it right in the recycling bin.
