Sex in the City: Romantic Comedy Novel About Dating & Relationships in New York City (Perfect for Beach Reads & Book Club Discussions)

--I was so excited reliving the story as I wrote this review--hoping I didn't leave anything out!--This is one of those books where after you've finished reading you want to rave about it so much, that it's just too difficult to decide, "Where to begin?!"Let's start with the author; This is Zach Love's very first book and the history with it is that it was written many years ago but is just now publishing it. One thing came to mind when I discovered this, "We've been missing out on this for that long??!"This book was ahhhh-mazing! So many laugh-out-loud moments, face-palming, and any other emotion a reader can undergo when captivated by a brilliant book.I absolutely enjoyed the fact that each character who is portrayed through their very own story in this book, are vibrant, fresh and different in their own very way. The author accomplishes the effect so well through his ability to be able to transform his style of writing--seamlessly might I add--into the way the character acts and behaves, or whether they have accents or not.For example, we have prim and proper male characters in here who love to use big words and then we have this goooooofy Asian kid who talks like he's from the hood. (I think he was my favorite of them all)When you are writing about five different characters, I can imagine it's quite an obstacle to be able to shed some light on each individuals personality and lifestyle ... but Zack Love flawlessly fleshes out every soul in this book.First, we have Evan, and ohhh my gosh, his story had me ROLLING with laugher. It's seriously so ridiculous the situation he gets himself into near the end of the first chapter that even I cringed! It begun when he woke up one day to find an email from his boss stating that he's fired.Ah, no big deal right? There's other jobs out there and he figures he has enough money to take some time to collect himself and bring along his girlfriend to her dream vacation spot.Well... as he reaches out to contact her, he finds an email from her stating that he's just not the right guy... VIA EMAIL!... and that she's run off to her dream vacation spot, to live a little. Things go downhill from there and Evan begins to realize, maybe it's time he livens up a bit.Well, as you see, he's not the luckiest guy in the world, and things tend to only get worse from there in his attempts to turn the table that night on his rampage for a New York City escapade.Then, we have funny pair Lucky Chucky and his friend Heeb, Harvard College buddies whose real names are Carlos and Sammy. Carlos is the hot Latino guys in which girls swoon over and Sammy is the IT type of nerd who Carlos teaches him to bring his "Kojack" out to win the girls over.This duo is extremely intellectual and plan their wingman tactics wisely-- they go through some pretty funny predicaments.Now we have Narc whom I absolutely love! He's abnormally tall for an Asian, standing over six feet tall and quite handsome to boot; but ever since a young age, he was determined to break free of the traditional Chinese way of living in which his parents insist of. Here and there he will help with the family laundry business, and is quite naturally academically inclined but not ordinarily so. He lives for basketball and hangs with the wrong crowd, he's messy and watches a sh*t load of porn and drives his roommate -This is where Evan is tied in again--absolutely bonkers. I love Narc for so many reasons, he's hilarious, straight to the point and unique, and his way of speaking is such an oxymoron to his natural-born background.All in all, I enjoyed this book for so many reasons--it's fun to see up close and personal, the wheels that turn in a males mind when it comes to romance, and no worries about being a female reader and spotting anything offensive. Even we all could relate to some of these guys quandaries. This book definitely filled me with laugher, gave me insight, and just overall joy. The characters become so real and pop right out of the pages, forgetting that you are sitting all cozied reading. Another thing I so appreciated was how well of a job the author captured the diversity of NYC, and his love for the City of Dreams shines through.
