“A book I’m reading.” “There are books like this out in the real world?” I frown, fascinated. “A million. They’re seriously hot too. All men should be reading this stuff. It would make them a million times better in bed.” “Where do I read these?” “On Kindle.” “Hmm.” They keep talking, and I discreetly text the boys. I have intel. We need to buy a Kindle. Stat!”
