Book Description
Do you hate chick-lit? Floren Felvturn does. And in her own words, most romantic novels featuring well-meaning British dames couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery. Cry On Cue introduces the anti chick-lit genre with rebellious zest. Through the demented narration of Floren Felvturn, a virginal nymphomaniac ordered to undergo court-ordered therapy, the novel savagely parodies romantic clichés, psychological healing, and all but destroys the familiar concept of a single Brit looking for love in all the wrong places. The book is edited by the controversial author of "Attempted Rapture", Mitchell Warren. Somehow, after listening to hours of conversational rambling and reading thousands of pages of meandering rhapsodies, Warren has taken Floren's traumatic memories and manic delusions and formed them into a coherent novel. And as you can see, for the creation of this book the authoress insisted that a hamster be placed prominently on the cover. An act of madness or the pinnacle of rational thought?
From the Author
THE RULES OF CHICK-LIT
by Mitchell Warren & Floren Felvturn
1. The protagonist must be likeable.
2. Should feature an urban, post-feminist woman balancing a career with romance.
3. The characters must be familiar and act in identifiable (read: mentally balanced) ways.
4. Humor should be quirky and sarcastic but not overly caustic and purposely distasteful.
5. No gruesome deaths or horrific subject matter.
6. Protagonist(s) should not attempt murder.
Protagonist(s) should not assault law enforcement officials.
Protagonist(s) should not then try to solicit sex to the assaulted officer.
Nor should protagonist(s) then offer the assaulted officer charity sex.
Protagonist(s) should take their court-ordered therapy seriously & not call their doctors names.
Like "nob jockey" or "Big Little Man In A Boat."
None of this should happen--especially in the first chapter of the book.
7. No incessant swearing.
8. Sex scenes should be tasteful and not insanely over the top or needlessly offensive.
9. No strange, alien words or obscure British obscenities.
10.No gratuitous references to hamsters.
11.Story should end on a grandly romantic note, one that tells the beauty of life and love.
Like a wedding or a cathartic cry between family members.
Story should not end with an act of indecency, in broad daylight, in the front seat of a Jeep
