Ratings and reviews

"By Jove"!!! 9 in 10 the funniest story I've read so far! Devilish pack of goofies, made me laugh out loud so many times... nonsensical young dudes having to be mature for the sake of poor naive Kitten. I loved their friendship: teasing, calling each other out, and staying together through thick and thin. Oh my younger years! :P

There is no better writer of conversations.

A joy to read.
