Oscar Lozada is
repulsive, and he likes it that way. His apartment is always a wreck, he works
at a sewage plant, and he’s an abrasive jerk to just about everyone. When he's
not out drinking and hooking up with strangers, he trolls people on the
Internet for lulz. His life changes when he finds out a victim of his trolling
lives right next door. Noah is super hot and disarmingly nice. In spite of
himself, Oscar starts to fall for him. All he has to do is make sure Noah never
discovers the truth behind his trollish ways.
To start off we want to say we despised Oscar, and wanted to
quit this book! But don’t despair, we
kept reading and by 70% started too really like the guy.
Oscar is a mean person, a slob and a troll that incited
anger on the internet to suit his own good time. Despicable all around. But just when we wanted to stop reading, we
meet Noah. Sign – sweet, kind, shy
Noah. And really we wanted to yell at
Noah and tell him to RUN. But wait, if
Noah likes Oscar, maybe there are some redeemable qualities. And slowly we start to see them. Oscar has been hurt, and he uses his garbage,
and prickly exterior to ward people away to keep them at arm’s length. Noah
brings out the best in him, and shows him that you can trust when someone loves
you they love all of you. Sera Trevor
creates a great balance for a short story; she lets us into the lives of Noah
and Oscar to move the story along.
We really enjoyed Troll Whisperer, and for a short story we
wish there was a sequel. The book is
about building the relationship, and finding trust in each other, we want to
see their love story to grow.
