I couldn't actually finish this one. I made it to just over 60% before I completely lost interest and gave up. The biggest problem was that Doug is written to be so dumb that it isn't believable. His idiocy is supposed to be funny but 95% of the time, it was just too overdone. It reminded me of stoner comedy films, which I never find funny.

The writing was rambling and all over the place, which I first thought was a way to illustrate the incoherent thoughts of a pothead, but it continued during Stephen's POV.

I didn't like either of the characters, and couldn't relate to them at all.

I maybe could have looked past all that if there had been some steamy sex scenes, but no, it completely skipped over the sex! Blah.
