I Love You, Asshole! (review)

I Love You, Asshole! I Love You, Asshole! by Amy Lane

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This story was at turns frustrating as well as bittersweet. Marcus is the 'nice guy' not willing to push Phillip after realizing his feelings; and Phillip is trying to understand his relationship with Marcus and going about it in a way that seems to do more harm than good.



Usually I feel a little daunted by polyamorous relationships or orgies in the stories I read, yet the one in this story made me think of how puppies/kittens pile together. I saw it as their way of trying to cope with their immense loss; it wasn't about gratification but connection and togetherness.



So while these guys had me cussing at them, and pulling out my hair, I really enjoyed it.
