I really loved this book. It was such a fast pace read. I just adored shane and how he took his own heartbreak and tried to help other people. I just loved how is advice made so much sense and how prideful he was in his cases. I just really loved this story and especially seeing all the side stores that shane helped create and also the story lines between Shane and Jak. It was adorable story and i just loved shane as led character. I found this book so funny and was laughing out loud so often. I would def. read this story again and again. ( )

Cute book with a twisted premise! It was a slightly predictable but fun and fast read. ( )

Shane has fashioned himself into a modern day Cyrano de Bergerac, after having his own heart broken. He wants to spare other guys from the humiliation of failure. All they need is confidence and a plan. Shane has the plan, and he’s willing to share. Shane is a very likable guy who just wants to help other guys. He’s not seeking payment and he’d rather not advertise his services or have others spread the information either. “Deny ‘til you die.” is his motto. Shane’s best friend Jak, a girl, knows nothing of Shane’s “community service.” All is well until the girls find out the secret, and that they have been “targeted.” Then nobody's happy.

Shane made me laugh out loud several times.
(loc 852) “Did I mention she’s wearing really short jean shorts? The front pockets are sticking out below the shorts and onto her thighs. Occasionally I forget my own name.”
(loc 1564) “A half-naked white guy and a half-naked black girl embracing in a bathtub. We look like a Benetton ad.”
(loc 1728) “Jak, you are really bad at getting blackout drunk. You remember everything.”
(loc 1775) “Sigh, I feel like I joined an adopt-a-teacher program. I just can’t abandon him now.”
(loc 1864) “Adam looks like he robbed a big and tall store under the cover of darkness. But together they pass for the cliche version of an illicit office romance, sleeves rolled up, hands accidentally touching over a stack of paperwork.”

This is the second Cyrano referenced book I've read this year and a funny book that both genders will enjoy. Read alikes: Abundance of Katherines by John Green and Sway by Kat Spears. ( )

It's probably only a three-star in reality, but it gets a bonus star for being a teen romance told from a male POV. It was cute and sweet and anyone who's ever read a teen romance knows how it's going to turn out, but telling it from a guy's point of view makes it stand out in a crowd. ( )
