BLURB:
Living in downtown Toronto can be expensive and frustrating, but Leo is willing to deal with the traffic and working the overtime in order to experience everything else the city has to offer. Or would be, if he had any energy left to do so. The fact that his upstairs neighbour is making more noise that a herd of elephants isn’t helping things either. Tired, irritated, and on the verge of losing his patience, Leo knows that things have got to change.
Gordy is one of the most attractive young men that Leo has ever met, and Leo has no doubt in his mind that Gordy has been using those good looks to get whatever he wants for a very long time. So when Gordy starts turning on the charm, Leo can’t help but wonder if it’s actual interest or merely appeasement.
Together they’re going to try and figure out just what can be done with Gordy’s new roommate — an energetic, excitable, and very noisy young goat whose visit comes with a deathbed promise and a tight family bond. What Leo doesn’t realise is that she also comes with an ability to make him understand more about himself than he could have ever imagined he needed to learn.
REVIEW:
This was a cute little book, with an adorable little goat causing some major problems. And while I love Gordy and his little goat, I kind of had a problem with Leo. He just took things too fast and wasn’t really listening to what Gordy was trying to tell him.
I like Leo, and I get that he’s a fixer and it’s ingrained in him, but sometimes people just need someone to listen or to help them find a solution, instead of taking over. And unfortunately, because Leo wasn’t fully listening, it messed things up several times. Gordy was trying to tell him he was interested, but he just wasn’t ready. And who could blame him. With all he’s trying to deal with and going through, I wouldn’t be ready either. It’s a hard thing to deal with. You’re whole life has been turned upside down and trying to finish what you started in life has no been put on hold. It’s a lot.
It’s really a cute story. Belinda is a little booger that keeps you entertained, along with a kid neighbor named Samir, that is a trip. So it has some fun times and a whole mess to try to get through as they have to hide Belinda, who is obstinate to say the least. Lol. It’s a good little story.
