Hey Sugars,

Well there's the Frogs... and the Snails, oh yeah, and the Puppy Dog Tails. Anyone else have more ideas on what makes boys tick? Chick Lit from the male perspective, otherwise known as Lad Lit, gives us the story from their side. One Lad Lit that does it right is Simon Brooke's, 2cool2btrue.

2cool2btrue by Simon Brooke

Meet Charlie Barrett, 33, male model. A ten-year veteran of the world of the beautiful and charmed, Charlie has been the image, face, and even the body of all things luxurious or at least of all things that claim to be. But don't be fooled by his 1000-watt smile. Behind the fabulous and successful career, he is looking for a change. Maybe to impress his parents, maybe to prove something to himself. Maybe even to piss off his gorgeous long-term girlfriend. When the chance to use his image as the Marketing Director of start-up/designer website 2cool2btrue dotcom comes his way, Charlie is all over it.

A little over his head, Charlie is caught up in the excitement and the buzz that is the 2cool brand. When Charlie soon finds himself in the middle of an alleged fraud, he tries to uncover the mystery behind the company's missing founders and the seemingly lack of cash. With the help of a clumsy, quirky, yet not always honest journalist, Charlie soon finds out how bizarre things can get beneath the image.

In this quick, scandalous read, author Simon Brooke takes you on a ride with hype, circumstance, and the reality surrounding the buzz. Don't just take our word for it. Find out what the critics are saying about 2cool2btrue.

PS. How does a male Sex and the City sound to you? Check out this new series based on Kyle Smith's Love Monkey. And as always, thanks for supporting the site and buying through our links!
