Let's get some things straight. First, I'm not a 'paid' reviewer. Second. I actually read the entire book. Honestly, I think amazon should start filtering out reviews when negative reviewers complain about positive reviews. There are several authors that I follow and read everything they do. The moment they post a book for sale, I get it, I read it, and I review it if I remember to. Usually within the same day, sometimes the next. Depending on my reading load. That gripe out of the way, let's get to the review!

The first Klune book I read was a sophomoric, juvenile, sterotyped mess that made me laugh so hard I had trouble breathing multiple times. It was absolutely unapologetic in it's comedy. (Book is the Lightning Struck Heart btw) so I decided to get another from Klune to try. I went with Tell me it's Real considering Who/what the main character is. Shy, bashful, overweight, and panting for the hot tonedness.

I do not regret my choice in the slightest. I could see a lot of myself in Paul. I could see a lot of my friends in Helena/Sandy. While I certainly didn't have a grandmother with a homophobic parrot that liked to call me Rump Ranger, I could still see my grandmother in Paul's Nona. Don't get me started on his parents. We should all be so lucky.

The story is something you could see actually happening. There's no billionaire playboy tycoon out to turn the destitute struggling, barely surviving street hood/thug/waif into a prince among men. There is no 'instant one day meeting declarations of eternal love. There's growing desire and passion. There's self denial, self recrimination. There's shyness, brashness, and awkwardness.

Without giving any spoilers, there's no denying that the book reads like a comedy, but to get the full impact of the book, and not just the 'comedy', you need to actually READ the book. Which is what, as you'll see, most of the negative reviewers failed to do.

Tell Me It Real Tj Klune 9781623803537 Books Reviews

Rarely have I laughed so much than when I read this book. It prompted me to get the rest of the series, I had loved it so much.

Paul Astor is slightly-chubby, somewhat shy, and has absolutely no self-confidence when it comes to anything of a romantic nature. His best friend is Sanford ("Sandy") Stewart, a drag queen who goes by the moniker of Helena Handbasket. He works as an insurance adjustor with Sandy and is always there for Helena's shows. Looking down from the balcony outside Sandy's dressing room, he spies a group of the homo-jocks and his eyes get drawn to their leader. The Homo-Jock King. Vince Taylor. Who seems to be looking up at him with intense interest. After spraying Vince with the drink Vince bought him (accidently, of course), he gets horribly embarrassed and goes home.

But that would make for a lousy romance, and surely a comic romance can't end with loneliness and despair for our heroine! So fate intervenes and Paul and the Homo-Jock King find themselves thrown together again. And again. And much to Paul's chagrin, the Homo-Jock King wants Paul and will not stop until he gets what he wants. Even if it means accepting Paul's two-legged dog ("Wheels") and his grandmom's homophobic parrot.

Funny, sensitive, and thoroughly entertaining, I can't imagine anyone not reading this book without a smile on their face the entire time. The characters are colorful and complex, the antics are clever, the writing is mature, the editing is strong, and the story paces itself wells. It's a delightfully entertaining book that is one of the most entertaining I've read. Well, along with the next two in the series. After all, with characters such as these, it would be a travesty to stop after just one book!
This gets 5 stars because it make me LAUGH. Like so hard!!! In places you shouldn't laugh out loud, like public!!!! That and it's one of the best books I've read in a long time.

TJ Klune is an author I have come to love and reading more of his work just showed me what a talented author he is. He can write funny, he can write serious, he can write steamy. He just never fails to disappoint! Next time I am in a massive book slump again, I am turning to his books for help.

Tell Me It's Real has possibly one of the worst book covers ever, which is why I've waited so long to read it. But this is one of those books where you have to look past the awful cover to get to the amazing inside of the book. Paul is a husky guy, insecure and settled in his life. Until he meets the stunningly beautiful Vince who is interested in Paul right away. Except Paul thinks Vince is playing a joke on him, never thinking Vince could be actually interested.

Loved this book, obviously from my 5 star rating. Again, it had me laughing out loud in public, a rare feat for me as I try to remain stoic when reading. I highly recommend this book!
It's a funny thing, and m/m and reviews. I'm a gay man who grew up surreptitiously reading my mums Mills and Boon books. I discovered M/M recently and have been reading voraciously and loving this world where men love men unashamedly. But I've also slowly realised that these books are mostly written by women for women. And that's fine, but for me means that the characters often don't feel quite right.
Reviews of this book describe Paul as a big bitch.
He's not. He's a neurotic exaggerated but real feeling gay man, and I adored him. I adored Sandi, I adored the most eclectic and wonderful cast of characters. The banter between Paul and sandi particularly, is often laugh out loud hilarious and just SO well written.
If you're a straight woman reading m/m purely for hot man on man action then this might not cut it (again, that's all good, I like the hot stuff sometimes too!) for me though, this is the most enjoyable, entertaining book I've read in a really long time. Please give it shot.
TJ Klune, I salute you -)
