The Gay Best Friend
I'm like, so mad.
More to come tomorrow because it's 2 fucking am and I can't.
Okay, it's the next day and I feel like I'm going to be fit to put my thoughts together and write a (hopefully) semi-coherent review about the first and only book I've read in ONE SINGULAR day, in my entire life.
Seriously, I picked it up at 10:30 am and I finished it at 2 am, on the alike day.
What the actual fuck?
I'll start off with the pros because while yes, I did rate it 2.5 stars, there are still some pros in the mix:
. I don't know what the creator put in this guide (crack cocaine), because I literally couldn't stop reading it.
And trust me, I've tried to put it down but my body was like nah nah, you're going to maintain reading it until it's finished, baby.

We wanted them to say: you two really own something here.
We were 19, and we were insufferable. But there was a lot of that nice of thing around. Vivid young women and their even brighter gay friends were burning up our screens. There was Will & Grace, of course, and there was Stanford Blatch from Sex and The City. There was Stanley Tucci’s Nigel in The Devil Wears Prada, and Damian in Mean Girls, and Rupert Everett’s George in My Finest Friend’s Wedding. We opened Word documents, centre-aligned the text and transcribed ourselves.
Insufferable as we we
