Cute and hilarious coming of age story about an uber egotistical and previously straight college guy Gunnar who wakes up one morning to find out he had sex with a man the previous night.
It is a charming story about self discovery and romance with likeable secondary characters and a believable setting.Even though Gunnar was maddeningly frustrating at times with his cockiness and general douchbaggery (which I know was intentional), it was heartening to watch him stumble through his sexual discover...more

2.5 stars...yeah, yeah...I know..."but everyone else really liked it!"...
Great concept for a book: you wake up after a night of drunken loving w/ a text saying "God, my ass hurts. I can't even sit down properly. Cheers to you. Coffee @ 1?"...oh yeah...but you're straight.
The book started off funny, went through an annoying stage, and ended sweet.
The writing was amateurish and I was undecided how I felt about the characters. Not sure if they annoyed me or if I could attach myself to them. Gunnar...more

Fucking brilliant! Insanely quotable, literally laugh out loud funny and amusing, and was that the sting of tears in my eyes at the end? Gunnar shows so much growth in this story while still retaining his unique, hilarious, and charmingly cocky POV. Vance is a total asshat, so it's awesome and thrilling to see where their interactions and encounters lead. You'll be surprised by the full-bodied and robust story that's hidden behind the superficially self-centered narrator whom you can't help but...more

This story was everything. Awesome and sweet and funny and sad and cute and hot. Loved it!
Very good m/m romance about a straight college student who wakes up hungover one morning covered in finger paint with a text on his phone that suggests he had sex with a guy the night before...
Apparently I need to just read everything MandyM reads. :)
Reread. I enjoyed this just as much as the first time I read it in February.

Hilarious, although their is some angst. The adventures of Gunnar, his best friend Jon, Jon's girlfriend Cara, and Vance, Gunnar's unexpected beloved. Gunnar finds himself having gone to bed with a guy while drunk, accepts that he is probably gay, and then has to deal with it.
An ok short story/novella about a himbo who goes off to college and discovers his inner depth and falls in love.
I hated the beginning, liked the middle and loved the end. The last part was all WAIT!? WHAT? WHOAH.
The only reason it was not a DNF was that it was recommended to me by a friend and I'm glad I finished it. The ending made it worth the time it took to read. And hey, it was free.
It was well written though. So YMMV on how much you like it.

3.5 stars Gunner is such an ass, but you can't really help but love to hate to love him cuz he's just so goddamned unrepentant! Like that scene with girfirend Jessica, he's just so fuckin' full of himself, he doesn't even care! (view spoiler)...more

Not as nearly good as the other 2 fanfics I read so far, but it made me laugh several times. Gunnar was a crazy main character. He has always being a big jerk, playboy, self-confident... the kind of gouy I would hate in real life. At least he is aware of his jerk-ness, and he is OK with that. Until one days he wakes up and finds this text. He is willing to forget about it and erased it. How ass can he be? This proves it: the night before he had wild sex with a guy, and he just shrugs his shoulde...more
I don’t even know what to say. This story was AWESOME. I laughed like crazy, and the angst in the story was a nice balance to the sweet and fluffy and outrageously funny plot.
The main character, Gunnar, is what most people would call a selfish, heartless bastard. Thing is though…he knows he is! He’s cocky, obnoxious, full of himself, completely unable to love, and without any regards to anyone else’s feelings. He’s an ass. But he’s an incredibly lovable ass. And in this story he finally finds hi...more

Free online story with one of the most tempting opening paragraphs in m/m romance:
"Gunnar wakes up in his dorm room on a Friday in April and notices three things in rapid succession. The first is that he's stark naked and smeared with cracking finger paint. The second is that his roommate Jonathan is standing over him, obviously horrified. And the third is that he's holding out Gunnar's phone to show a text message that says, 'God, my ass hurts. I can't even sit down properly. Cheers to you. Cof...more

So, I stumbled over this on a friend's timeline today. It's a free story, complete, posted on Fictionpress.net. Huh, I thought, let's take a look.
I was hooked from the first chapter on. Gunnar is a college kid, a self-proclaimed ladies' man, commitment-shy and always looking for a good time. He wakes up one morning, paint all over his body, nursing a vicious hangover and sees a new text on his phone, thanking him for the previous night.
It's from a guy.

This was sooo good! The writer's voice is really funny and yet the story has depth and angst and an arc. I loved it. I especially liked the way Gunnar accepts being gay. I am so relieved to read an M/M story without "Oh my god, I'm gay?!" being the entire premise of it. It was like: wake up, realise I fucked a man, realise I liked fucking a man, realise I like the man, sort out my emotions...in rapid succession. Splendid. No freaking long pause over identity...it was more so grappling with being...more
Enjoyable and funny, but nothing more. Gunnar was a jerk and he was proud of it ;) It was irritating in some moments. He meets this guy, YEAH, a GUY, and he feels something. Then he has to ask himself: 'Maybe I'm an asshole cause I'm confused and I don't who exactly I'm?' Nah, he's an asshole just like that :P But he's funny and sometimes, but rarely, charming. It's a good thing that this story was written as a comedy, cause serious and angsty book with this kind of MC would be unbearable. For m...more

I read this free online book while I was sick with a stomach virus, and it was the perfect thing to cheer me up. It is a nice, hot read and a great free book. My complaints are that the story seemed a little bipolar. At one minute very fun and carefree and then it morphed into something very serious. Not something I was expecting. I didn't fully connect with the main character and care about him on an emotional level. I still enjoyed it and I bumped up my rating a bit because it was fre...more

This online fic was an enjoyable read with a lot of great humor and some very poignant moments. I loved the secondary characters, but I had trouble warming up to the main couple. I never got a good feel for Vance, and reading from Gunnar's point of view occasionally felt like reading a romance novel from the point of view of the evil ex. I was also a bit put-off by the author's love affair with sentence fragments. There were too many periods proliferating where periods don't belong. But it was s...more

This story was fucking fantastic. I just took off a star because it was short and I had to read it on my computer, which I hate. Gunnar was freaking hilarious and his friends were just perfect for him. Of course Vance was dreamy! Just a really well told gay for you story with a lot of laughs, hot sex and a bit of angst. The perfect combo.

I am giving this 4 stars because of the plot, the characters and the quirky internal monologue of Gunnar OH! and the hot sex scenes lol. There are obvious editing errors that would have normally made me give it a lower rating. However the editing is still better then some books I have paid for *cough Siren Publishing cough*

I really enjoyed this story. Like crazy mad loved it, actually. I was in the mood for something cute, and this was perfect. Although it's not so cute that I have to take an insulin shot. The protagonist is this fantastic, lovable douchebag who is just hilarious. My one criticism is that it's too short. There was so much subtext and character development left unexplored, and despite the satisfying ending, I'm still feeling a bit bereft. Anyway, it's a lovely bit of light reading.
This story actually pissed me off. After reading it I had to face the fact that such a lovely gem was out there for FREE while I was busy paying for crap not even half as good or well edited. ::sigh::
ETA: I would effing love to get a re-telling of this story (or a sequel - even a short one) from Vance's POV. I have re-read this at least four times trying to pinpoint thru Gunnar's "eyes" when Vance started feeling something, and I've got my suspicions, but hearing it (or anything, really) in Vanc...more

Well, this really covers a range of emotions, with a least a few angst-ridden scenes, yet overall, it has some great snarky dialogue, so more often than not, I was grinning rather than crying. (Yes, I'm a wuss. *shrugs*) I really liked Gunner's evolution, but I think a little more insight into Vance's thoughts and actions would have made it a more balanced tale.

Lovely, I rarely venture into this kind of style of writing, few can do it well - you can, and do. You've taken "the jerk" who is usually not portrayed beyond being the guy who breaks girls hearts, who a nice girl is better off without (so to say) and made him fall in love with a man who does the same to other men. Wonderfully iconic that. What's more you've made this "jerk" likeable, no loveable! He has friends, a life he's trying to fit into...more

Wow!! Loved it! Gunnar cracked me up. He was such an interesting person in so many ways. From his outlook on life to his crass comments to his strong belief that he is amazing, he provided an interesting narrative. Vance is sexy and sweet. The sex is steamy. The build up of the relationship is great - just wanted a bit more dialogue with Vance and Gunnar. Gunnar's best friends are awesome and really added to the story.

What a surprising little gem this is! And it's free!
The first paragraph is one of the best I've read...grabs your interest so you NEED to find out how Gunnar got there! Gunnar. Well, he's a bit of an a$$ but, damn, such a loveable one! But there's growth in his story...hard-won but oh so worth it!

This was a great story. I don't normally like to read online stories but I loved it and I think what charmed me even more than the terrific characters were the author's notes after each chapter. Vance was super hot and watching Gunnar mature through the story was very rewarding.
This one had me laughing and crying and everything inbetween. Sometimes I didn't know wether to yell at Gunnar or to hug him. His way to a HEA is a stony one and full of misconceptions about relationships, but he's just so loveable. 
Entertaining free online fiction. A really interesting beginning and an engaging main character - Gunnar is so conceited and falls in love so hard! Humour at times but also very touching, particularly when Gunnar is dealing with (view spoiler).
I found this to be a very realistic portrayal of a boy becoming a man. You experience Gunner as he matures and discovers what love is. The plot was also something that could have happened. Overall very well written.

"People!" Jon shouts, "Plenty of people. With, uh, orifices.”
“Now listen, Gunnar," Cara is saying, "Jon told me you thought you needed to move out, but you don't have to, you know. It's not a big deal. Plus, we'll be engaged for a while before we actually get married so it's not—"
"Actually, Vance asked me to move in with him," Gunnar says, going for casual and missing it by a mile.
Cara steps back, eyebrows raised, "Wanna run that by me again?"
"Vance. He asked me to move in with him."
"And you said?"
"I said yes."
Cara lets out a shriek that sends Jon and Gunnar into a defensive crouch. "That's. Well that's fantastic, Gunnar. I didn't think you had it in you!"
"Oh, thanks so much," Gunnar says (although to be fair, even he didn't think he had it in him).”
