“I despise the rituals of fake friendship. I wish we could just claw each other's eyes out and call it a day; instead we put on huge radiant smiles and spout compliments until our teeth hurt from the saccharine sweetness of it all.”
Jody Gehrman, Babe in Boyland

“Are you mad?" I ask.
"I was." He glances at the ceiling then back at me. "Or confused, anyway. The whole thing threw me through for a loop. I thought I'd finally met a guy at Underwood I could relate to, and it turns out he wasn't a guy at all."
I swallow. "I can see how that would be weird."
"In a way though, I was relieved."
"Relieved?" I echo. "Why?"
He looks around embarrased. "Let's just say you had me questioning my sexual orientation.”
Jody Gehrman, Babe in Boyland

“I tried all kinds of approaches: sexy, friendly, intimidating—nothing worked. I’m starting to think there’s an invisible force field that prevents honest communication between X and Y chromosomes.”
Jody Gehrman, Babe in Boyland

Brooke Hi Jody!

Thank you very much for your kind words! It was my pleasure to review Babe In Boyland, I absolutely adored it. I found myself chuckling at work when reading on my lunch break, I got some strange stares but they were well worth it ;o) I LOVE the Hardback cover too! Lime Green!!

I cannot wait to read more of your work!

Brooke :o)


Wendy Darling Hi Jody--thanks for the friendvite! I enjoyed reading Babe in Boyland immensely, so I'm glad to be in touch. Look forward to seeing what you're working on (and reading) next!


Zainab* Hey Jody!!!
I just wanted to know if you will be continuing the triple shot betty series??? Thanks sooo much- Ur fan Zainab


Kathrin Pi Hey Jody,
thanks for the nice words about my review! I have to get my hands on your other books, but first I need to work through the mile-high stack of books for next semester's university courses :)

The "author question" is mostly because I keep getting friend requests by authors who want to promote books that are waaaaay out of my range of interests. It's more a precaution that anything else. I hope it doesn't sound weird or anything?
Kathrin
