🍌🍌🍌Think Netflix's SEX EDUCATION, but without the accents, and instead of pictures and sound, I put the words on the screen, and you paint the pictures with your mind.🥒🥒🥒 *** Some guys are showers. Some guys are growers. Then there's Peter. He's got a big secret about a little problem (in his pants). But one day, that secret gets out, and Peter's life is ruined. The guys at his high school mock Peter without mercy. The girls giggle at the idea of dating Peter. But the situation isn't entirely without hope. Peter's best friend Elroy is a wannabe teenage business prodigy who sees Peter's predicament as an opportunity to develop a product that will help him "tap into the bajillion dollar market for addressing male insecurity." Meanwhile, a mysterious art student named Audrey seems to like-like Peter, despite his, ahem, little problem. Which is weird, because the rumor around school is that Audrey is a size queen. Why else would she be collecting so many dick pics? Peter's Little Peter is a story about the truth behind the myths of male sexuality, the awkwardness of teenage romance, surviving high school, and the bumpy road to self-acceptance.

"Anna dislikes being stuck three-quarters of the way down a chimney. She really does. Not to mention, she's still going round North America, and there's, like, three continents still to get through in about as many hours."

When a burned-out agency worker finds himself cornered by fate, he struggles to regain control of his destiny by any means: embezzlement, adultery, even dog-napping are all on the table in this quirky romantic comedy. *** Berry Ross believes the course of his life has been dictated by fate. Emotionally distanced from his fiery, French Canadian wife and his badly behaved children, he spends too much time at work enjoying vague fantasies about the wild-haired Art Director on the Agency's creative team. It feels to him that fate is meddling again when a new, no-nonsense Managing Director shows up from the Agency's UK head office with a mandate to trim the maple bacon fat. British, brutish and beautiful, Allegra Wood-Crosbie knows two things -- how to get a bottom-line back to black and how to seduce a married man. Leaving a dark secret behind in the London office, she is dissatisfied to find herself here in the Canadian outpost. She's determined to right this ship, repair her reputation and move back home as quickly as possible. When the echo-filled loneliness of her rental apartment becomes too much to bear, she turns her attention to finding a new companion. Her sights land on Berry -- and a flatulent English Bulldog named Henry. Back at home, Berry's wife Berenice makes a fateful decision of her own. Obsessed with home renovation projects (and imagining how her sexy co-professor might look shirtless) Berenice unwittingly kicks off a sequence of financially devastating events when she hires landscapers to dig up their Toronto backyard. As the threads holding Berry's raft of lies begin to unravel, fate delivers its final blow, and Berry comes to appreciate the importance of personal agency. --- Readers Say: "This book was so heartfelt, humorous, and human.

Two undercover cops, posing as a couple at a posh Florida resort, have a love/hate relationship that could get them killed before they find the secret gambling den they're hunting. Things get more dangerous when the murderous villain's wife recognizes one of the cops as her policeman ex-boyfriend from Montana.

Phil's wife, Megan, and his daughter, Jilly-bean, are the reasons he gets up bright and early every morning, puts on a suit and tie, and sits in rush hour traffic on his way to a job that has become unbearable. For years, the only way he's managed to get through his workday has been by secretly exchanging an absurd photo of a monkey walking a dog with his wife, hiding it in her purse, or finding it tucked into his briefcase. At work, Phil becomes the point person for the firm's biggest client, Trollamex, a multi-national chemical manufacturer. He's tasked with hiding its deceptive practices and helping the company to dodge its accountability for ruining the lives of thousands of customers. Nearing his breaking point, Phil brings his concerns to his boss, Carl who tells Phil in barely decipherable corporate-speak that he's being overly-dramatic. When the situation escalates, Phil suffers a meltdown, jumps into his car, and takes off on a two-day road-trip where he is thrown out of a club for dancing so badly they think he's drunk, is nearly beaten to a pulp by two guys at a restaurant who call Phil a communist for not taking his kid to Disneyworld, and faces jail time when a raccoon pilfering Cheez-It's in his car attacks a police officer. When he finds the monkey/dog photo in his pocket he experiences a moment of clarity. Phil realizes that he must go home to the family he loves, quit his job, and find a way to take on Trollamex. "Vital Signs" is a cautionary tale of one man's odyssey in search of his humanity and the dangers of running off-leash.
