"What I love about Tati is that the things that are funny are always secondary, not on the surface. In American comedy, you build up to the summit of the joke, and the joke is the central element. But Tati has a unique type of humor that always leaves a place for the viewer. If something isn’t funny for you, you don’t have to laugh, and that’s all right. You might even pass without noticing. The antipode of this attitude for life is American stand-up comedy. Here you are permanently directed—there’s no way out; you have to laugh and there might even exist recorded laughter in case you didn’t get it. Tati is the exact opposite. His comedy just unfolds as things actually happen in life. His situations are so direct and clear, you don’t have to be witty or have a sense of irony or sarcasm to get them; you just have to have a sense of observation."

I really enjoyed this. It was everything I like; a mystery, a romance, witty.
 
I was really intrigued by Chris/Kit and J.X.'s history together. Why were they so hostile to each other? It was slowly explained throughout and I kind of melted reading about their three nights together all those years ago and the feelings involved. Awww...
 
There was one scene fairly early on between them that made me all warm and fuzzy, until it was over and then I wanted to smack someone--mainly J.X.
 
As for the murder mystery, I would never have figured it out. I knew it was a man, and not Chris/Kit so was left with three possibilities. I didn't want to think it was J.X. either so that left two but then I was completely stumped.
 
I'm now going onto book 2 so I can read more of these two!

I sold my soul for a sitcom
By C. Guyer

Name – Kendyl OwensAge- 23 Occupation – Super spy/Malcolm in the Middle Fan-Club president Dislikes – Baddies, people that don’t like Malcolm in the Middle, Brussel sprouts.Hobbies – Watching Malcolm in the Middle, catching baddies, despising speed-dating.***There’s been a rash of young girls going missing in a little town a few miles away. The cops have no leads, no evidence, and no bodies. The only thing they know is that the girls all went missing at a hole in the wall bar that caters to the supernatural. With nothing else to go on, the locals do the only thing they can.They call Bump in the Night Investigations. And I get the case.

Ok so as short as this was it was so well written! The main character is funny and witty! I really would love to see a series of this as it left me wanting so much more!!
