(Ack, film studies which my daughter intends to take and he had no job – mother faints.) I know he moved home after the ex gone wrong, but what was his plan? And his mother nearly crossed the line for me, but not quite. :-)I would have loved to know a bit more about Jude. But I loved how he took care of Jude when he was hurt, over and over. I don’t care if you’re friends, maybe best to avoid them for a bit until things settle down. I was a little annoyed with David who didn’t want to come out of the closet and didn’t get that maybe hanging out with your ex, friends or not, might make a new guy a little weirded out. I love reading about people like that, but I couldn’t live with one. more es up hope that he can get his man, although so many things conspire to ruin it for them, including David’s ex and Jude’s own insecurity.Jude is one of those people who had a brain going a million miles an hour, jumps from idea to idea, his mouth just running. When the karate guy rescues Jude from a mugging things start to get interesting.Only now Jude’s mum, to hide her age from her new boyfriend, has told the man Jude is 15, not 22 and it turns out the guy works with David, who is in the closet. One of the upsides of his job is the karate group that runs by regularly, including the instructor who Jude drools over. Poetry, it's not.Review 1: Missed marking this as read: I do find this author’s sense of humour meshes nicely with my own so I always find her books enjoyable and this was no different, although I think Jude would have exhausted me in real life.Jude is living with him mum, working in the vegan coffee shop and mourning the loss of his jerky ex while participating in slam poetry events with his friend Keisha. Warnings: Contains a tangled web of little white lies, a smorgasbord of cheesy limericks, a violin called Vanessa, some boots that mean business, and the most adorable little dog ever. With a maze of stories to keep straight, a potential stepfather in the picture, ex-boyfriends who keep spoiling his dates with David, and a friend with a dangerous secret, Jude is beginning to wonder if his and David's lives will ever start to rhyme. Then there's Jude's mother, who lies about her age to the point Jude could be mistaken for jailbait. First, David has only one foot out of the closet.
Jude should have known the universe wouldn't simply let love fall into place. And he learns that not only does this calm, competent hunk of muscle have a name-David-but that he's gay. Jude can only yearn from afar, until the object of his affection rescues him from muggers.
Then there's "Karate Crumpet", a man who regularly runs past the café with a martial arts class. The Anglo-Japanese university graduate is a carnivore working in a vegan café, an amateur poet with only one man in his life. Jude Biggerstaff is all the way out and loving it-mostly.
