What happens when Rory travels halfway across the country to meet the girl of his dreams? Certainly not what he expected...
Rory's just be a simple southern boy from St. Antoine's Parish, Louisiana, but he knows what he wants â?? the girl of his dreams, reclusive and mysterious artist Ran Yamane. He's loved her since junior high school, and now he has the chance to meet her. He chucks everything and travels 1,500 miles to Anime Expo in Long Beach just so he can tell her. He's determined that nothing and nobody are going to stand in his way.
Turns out, Ran Yamane isn't a girl, but he gets that a lot. People come to him with teddy bears and chocolates and disappointment by the truckload. He's trusted fans in the past and paid the price. So when he meets Rory he is understandably wary, but resigned. He isn't prepared for his magnetic attraction to the young man, Rory's apparent willingness to overlook his gender, and the chaos that ensues when his number one fan (and psycho stalker) shows up to get revenge.

Rory Delaplaines travels to a con to meet a comics artist whom he's infatuated with. When he gets there and discovers that the artist he thought was a she is really a he, he begins to learn things about his sexuality and his ability to love. As Roy and the artist, Ran Yamane, get to know one another, an unhinged stalker from Yamane's past shows up, attacks Yamane, and threatens Rory and his family. Roy and Yamane take a road trip to try to hide from the stalker, and on the way they must sort out what they mean to each other.

One must suspend one's disbelief fairly often in the story (a famous author had a stalker and he still entertains the notion of hanging out with a random infatuated stranger? A cop tells a stalking victim to go on the run?), but if one can manage it, there's an enjoyable, well-written story with heart under the handful of implausibilities. I enjoyed the beginning falling-for-each-other-against-all-odds stuff much more than the on-the-run road trip, but your mileage may vary. ( )

Boring, honestly. Did not need to be as long as it was. ( )

What an interesting book.

In so many ways, I felt that this was like an art film. The author has an unique voice and she does not always write the plot in the stereotypical "romance" fashion and you as the reader have to just roll with it. Sometimes that means that some readers might feel betrayed or bewildered by the author's actions, but for every character's action, there is a reason and it will be explained.


I loved the writing style, such a great use of imagery, humor, and storytelling. I will be looking into other books by this author. ( )

It was a grim fact of life, Rory discovered as he wiped mustard off his fingers with a napkin, that the further you disappeared into rural America, the less strange it seemed when you talked to your food.
