Kindle Humor/Parody "Pretending to Love" Free 10/08/12 to 10/12/12

myriddin1 · 10-08-2012, 09:38 AM

A facetious guide to navigating the perils and pitfalls of a modern relationship, Pretending to Love will teach you how to attract the right sort of partner, trick them into liking you, manipulate their feelings to suit your own needs, and then dump them in an appropriate fashion when you get bored and/or hungry.

Full of useful information such as:
How to Get Your Own Way
Improving Your Partner Through the Power of Nagging
Meeting Your Partner’s Hot Friends
Why Honesty is the Worst Policy

But don’t just take my word for it! Have a look at what other people have said about Pretending to Love:

“Very slightly amusing.”
“Good for reading on the toilet.”
“Not as terrible as I expected!”

High praise? Perhaps! Read Pretending to Love and decide for yourself!

kept me grinning plus some actual LOLs

the part that stuck with me:

"Q: Is it better to make your girlfriend miserable or to let your girlfriend make you miserable?

A: That's outmoded thinking! This is the new millennium we are living in. It's perfectly acceptable to make each other miserable. Remember: A relationship is a partnership."

and extra points for quoting quentin crisp!

Hehehe thanks lovely! It was lots of fun to write. . . even if everyone thinks I'm a sociopath now. . :-)

A fast reading full of pleasure. Trully well-conceived comics (well made would imply better graphics, not that it is relevant) and, mainly, so instructive, as humours blows the self defense and so we catch the meanings more easily.

Thank your for the gift, even though it ruins your argument! ("you either unwarily spent money to purchase this ridiculous book. Q.E.D.") (location 914)

Thanks Antoinekamel! It was fun to write, so I'm glad that people are enjoying reading it!

Any chance that I could get you to post something like that as a review on Amazon? It would really help me get some new readers! :-)

This appears to be free for Amazon Prime members only; otherwise $2.99.
