UPDATE: 1.26.24 10:42pm MST After reading this out loud to my wife, she caught a few words I'd misused. These have been corrected to smooth out the reading.
Since I didn't see any likes or comments posted, I'm hoping the edits were fixed before you read them.
If I felt connected to the initial release then this first chapter is me. I love the connection that telling this story from first person brings.
Wendell acts exactly like I would have acted at his age, wishing I was big and muscular, wanting a beautiful girl to swoon over me, that I could tell stories of how I received each and every "manly scar" I hade collected. This is amazing.
PS. Christie is exactly the kind of girl I would have been looking for too. Not all flashy but polite and kind.
I also what to say that I had a friendship very similar to Wendall and Evan. I was Wendall and my friend was Evan, a football star and a pretty big catch with ladies. Even down to the tree trunks for arms.
Wow, this chapter grabbed me from the get-go! Wendell is super relatable—I mean, who hasn't felt like the underdog at some point? And Evan sounds like the kind of friend everyone needs in a crisis. The bit with the hair removal cream? Priceless! Can't wait to see what kind of trouble these two get into next. Keep the stories coming; you've got a fan in me!

I like this better already. I already can feel that I will become emotionally invested in Wendell much faster purely by the change to first person.
I think the cover art is really good
And I’m already on the edge of my seat to see how He responds to the Universe kicking him to the floor.
Thank you so much for your input, Joseph.
Just for the fact that you've read all my books up to this point makes your input valuable to me.
I've never done Wendell justice. This first person is critical to the books success, and i can say I'm enjoying the experience.
Ohhhh, it's gonna be GOOOOOOD.
Trust me.

I had the same....a looooong time ago.

Lol but you also have a lot more levels when it comes to this game of life we are a part of
Hey. Hey. HEY,...that doesn't mean I'm any less connected to people, friends, or need a muscle back-up from time to time.

I'm so glad you liked it! This is the main reason I wanted to rewrite the books, to create the first person experience.
I'm so invested in this. And is only the first chapter. I'm going to be reading this non-stop. I love the way he expresses his thoughts. Its great 👍
I'm SO glad....BUT....I'm going to suggest you STOP.
....stop reading CHOICES,...and read Demoni Vankil FIRST.
It'll help you enjoy CHOICES so much more....and it's a quick read.
Trust me.
Haha. Ok I will.
