Interpretation Concering Books Know Not Why (Know Not Why #1)
Howie gets a job at Artie Kraft's Arts 'N Crafts hoping to score with his lady coworkers. After all, girls love a sensitive guy, and what's more sensitive than dedicating your life to selling yarn and ... stuff? (Okay, so maybe it'd be a good idea to actually learn what one sells at an arts 'n crafts store.) But things don't go exactly according to plan. Coworker #1 is Cora: tiny, much-pierced, and way too fierce to screw with in any sense. Coworker #2 is Kristy: blonde, bubbly, unattainable perfection. And Coworker #3 is, well, Arthur. It goes without saying that he’s not an option. Right?… Right?
Yeah, Howie’s life just got straight up confusing.
Pun intended.

I thought it was rubbish, thank you for asking.An ill-advised rhetorical device dooms a promising story to the brackish and mosquito-ridden end of the FML, why-am-I-reading-this-many-words-that-cause-me-pain literary pool.Some will enjoy this a lot. Check it out; it's not terribly badbut if you're irritated with the protagonist's early-and-often, inane, repetitive, juvenile and horridly self-centered and ill-tempered monologuing, be advised: it only gets worse.As for me, all I could think wererep: gay mc & li, bi side characteryeah, howie starts out as such an ugly sexist pig thanks to only being on the verge of Figuring Out The Gay Stuff but he grows up so well!! and his shitty behavior gets called out!and that means we get a really soft romance, a great mother-son relationship, amazing friendships (old and new ones) & an actually Good humour
4-4.5*I just finished reading this book and now try to get my thoughts in some orderly written form. First, although the formatting and editing of the book is very good and it's rather long with 100.000+ words, I still think that $9,99 is too expensive for an unknown, self-published author. 2-4$ less would have been a fair price. Especially when thinking of similar quality books sold for 2,99$. Nevertheless the blurb and the cover got me to buying this book.Now, the story: The first few pages
2.5 "fifteen year old girl" stars!! 2016 - 2nd Most Fun Review to Write My bf saw me reading this when I started it....read the description...rolled his big brown eyes...and said...."when you going to pick up Les Miserables again and stop reading this crap". Well he unleased a fifteen year old girl demon inside me and she is insisting on writing this review before she leaves my body."Shut up Jaidee. It's hard being inside you. You think a lot about boring stuff and also some stuff that as a
4.5 stars. Charming story about Howie a 22 year old who puts his studies on hold to stay home and keep his mum company after the death of his father. He gets a dead-end job at an Arts & Crafts store and the people there slowly but surely change his life for the better.This story is told in the first person POV of Howie. I loved his voice. He's kind of cool in an obnoxious way. He's very confused about girls. And he's full of funny one-liners and slang that are totally in keeping with his
To make what could have been a very long review of gushing, and quoting, and more gushing short: I loved this book. I loved the way the characters talk, their sense of humor, and the way they interact with each other. I love that the way a character first appears does not define that person for the rest of the book. I love them for their mistakes, terrible jokes, their faults and flaws, and the fact that no matter how badly they screw up they kept trying. I love the fact that Howie's mother is
Not feeling very review-y articulate, so here are some pretty random thoughts.- Brilliant and hilarious narrative, even if I'm not normally a fan of (1) first person and (2) present tense.- Sweet romance.- A discovering yourself/coming out m/m story.- Kind of "new adult." (22 y.o. narrator.)- Great, great, GREAT secondary characters.- So bummed it was closed door sexytimes. Dammit. I was totally ready to perv on this couple.- Fun, escapist feel to the storytelling.- I'm pretty fact-based, so it
