"Big applause for days... I devoured this, and it was such a juicy, meaty, gooey, cheesy, fun time... it was like being at a Brazilian steakhouse. I await the movie adaptation."

"This was SUCH a great book! I couldn't put it down for two and a half days! It's a bat-shit bonkers story that goes from 0-100 with each passing page."

"It's fabulous and so wonderfully dark and fucked up!... also very funny."
-Barbara Duffy
"A hilarious bizarroid science fiction horror thriller, with great vivid characters, crackling first-rate dialogue, nonstop momentum and unguessable plot twists galore. Rarely does a book make me laugh out loud this often, while keeping me engaged in the delirious drama unfolding."
- John Skipp, Wonderland Award winning author of Don't Push the Button
"Beneath the sci-fi tech, wild sword fights, cyborgs, spider bites, and LA’s dating scene, LIKE REAL is a hilariously cheerful look at one man’s redemption by self-destruction. Shelly Lyons peels back Vic Moss’s carefully-constructed douchebag armor to reveal a very human boy who's just looking for love. A masterclass in empathy."
-Brian Asman, author of #vanlife and Man, Fuck This House
