The Big Cheat (Tammy's Romance Pet Peeve #460)

Once again, I'm revisiting the vaults over at InD'tale and bringing up my second column, "The Big Cheat".  

The Big Cheat (InD'tale Magazine July/August 2012)

Review: Wallbanger (or, For God's Sake, This is twific too???)

Wallbanger by Alice Clayton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Someone HAS to start telling me when I'm reading fanfic.  Especially Twilight fanfic.

A friend recommended this to me (waves), I checked out the sample from Amazon, it looked like fun, so I read it.  And then found out it was P2P fanfic.  I've said it before with other books, and I'll say it again - I feel like Eric Cartman:



So, without talking about the fanfiction angle, let me just say this about the book:

It was funny.  Laugh out loud funny in parts, trying-too-hard to be funny in others.
It had great bicker/banter.  She called him "Wallbanger", he called her "Cockblocker".
It had great tension.  For the first 1/2 of the book.  Then it just dragged on too long, IMHO.
It had some great sex in it.  'Nuff said about that.
It seemed like a pretty true portrayal of late 20-somethings.  Or, at least how I remember late 20-somethings being.  On an episode of Friends.

Overall I'd have to say I liked it.  It was a fun read, even if it dragged on a little long, with a of other things that that brought my rating down.  A Guest Reviewer at Dear Author reviewed this book the other day.  She says things way better than I can, so here's the link to it (and if you read the comments there's an interesting discussion starting about fanfiction):
