4 Star Review by Jen Hagen
“I don’t want to
know you, and I don’t want you to know me.
We write together online, that’s it.
I’m not looking for a new friend.
I’m looking for a writing partner.” – Matthew
Matthew and Hannah found each other through the internet
and they are affectionately known to each other only as Little Bird (Hannah)
and Night Owl (Matthew). They are
collaborating on a fantasy writing project and speak to each other only with online
sentences. Matthew is odd…there’s really
no better way to say it. He has some odd
habits and is an antisocial person. He
has a pet bunny that he takes for walks on a leash. But yet there’s something about Matthew that
just pulls you into his world and you immediately fall in love with him and all
his strange ways.
Matthew and Hannah maintain their protected cyber world,
but little by little personal information is revealed to one another. They even have a face-to-face conversation
over the internet that results in a very heated moment of getting to know each
other a little better.
I, a successful and
very taken twenty-eight-year-old man, had become the equivalent of a horny
fourteen-year-old boy. Real smooth.
Hannah has now
discovered three things about Matthew:
He lives in
Colorado, he’s an awesome writer, and he gets off talking to scantily clad
strangers on the internet. Love at first
Skype.
Hannah and Matthew are living in the same state and
although you would think the state of Colorado would be large enough to
maintain their animosity to each other, they do end up meeting face to
face. Their encounters begin to mean
something more than just a one-night stand, and it is during their private
moments that we are seeing an entirely new Matthew. Not only is he quirky, but he is a bit of a
dirty talker too! Matthew cracks me up
with his personality. Since Hannah is
living with her parents their alone time is limited. Matthew decides that he needs to have Hannah
over at his place. The only problem…he
has failed to mention that he has a live-in girlfriend.
How could I have
Hannah over when every corner of my apartment screamed, “I have a
girlfriend! A female resides here! Look, tampons!”
Not only is Matthew holding back on his relationship status,
but there’s a much larger secret that he is holding back. Very few people know his secret, and those
that do are bound to secrecy. Matt’s secret is exposed and his world is
turned upside down. Matt has always had
paranoia about people leaving him due to his parents’ death and he has
struggled with alcohol abuse and mental instability in the past. This episode of being alone sends him back to
numbing his pain with alcohol.
So I was drinking
again. So what? I forgot how much I loved it.
Matt has to sink to the bottom before he can rise
above. The only question is can Hannah’s
love for him come through in time to save him?
I really enjoyed Matthew’s quirky behavior. This story was unique. He had a tendency to be a little dominant in
the bedroom and that added to his complex personality…or lack of personality
since he had difficulty maintaining any type of conversation except for his
dirty talking in the bedroom. He also
had an abruptness to his departures, specifically on the telephone.
“I never want to
learn how to say goodbye.” (swoon)
Matthew really did have me laughing out loud. I enjoyed being able to hear his POV with the
alternating chapters. This was a fun
read although it did bring out my emotions towards the end. There is more to this story to come, and I
believe it will be a trilogy. There is a
cliffhanger at the end of this book and I’m still not certain what to make of
this ending. It can’t possibly be true…
