UGH. This started off so strong. The characters were hilarious and likeable. The plot was, while predictable, interesting and I was enjoying it.
Then Marc became a jerk and Madison tried to change almost everything about herself to suit him. The ending tried to rectify that, but it was too little, too late for me.
They also drank alcohol/got drunk way too much for my liking, but that's personal preference.

I was hoping McGee would be the next Sophie Kinsella or Jane Costello but no. This book had so much potential and I guess, for some people, it could be funny but for me...all this talking made the story flat.
If I could describe the writing, it would be ''written by a teenager on the verge of adulthood''. There was too much talking, describing things, even though some things are completely logical. The heroine is a comic-con nerd, drawing cartoons/comics about a ''relationship'' with her roommate Marc, who is a history professor. There is much more focus on how they both describe wines than their relationship together. Seriously, even I know now something about wine. I was missing a special chapter for an epilogue (an epilogue was included in the last chapter though)... just, you know. I like prologues/epilogues being separated.
So all in all, 3 stars.

I wish I had a glass of wine while I was reading this.
Two people who suck at seduction practice on each other.
The read was good, and easy. There were times where it felt a little slow, but all in all, I'd be willing to read it again!
Received as an ARC.

I didn't really like this book. It kinda felt like a porn; going from one sex scene to the other, with only some dialogue to make the semblance of a story...

At first I wasn't sure because the narrator's voice was a tad annoying, but by the end the voice totally worked for me. One thing I love about Kayti McGee's books, or at least the ones I've read so far, is that they're set in Kansas City, where I live. This book was hilarious. The awkwardness of the main character, I totally feel that way, still, even with past experience I've had with dating and sex, etc. There were a couple of really good lines in the book. One about how guys are so good at ruining your daydreams about them when you see them in person. And then when she talked about makeup being like having a coloring book on your face. However the character liked that, she was an artist. Me, so very NOT artistic, I feel like I'm a kid who can't color in the lines, and that's what it looks like when I put my makeup on. I don't know if I agree with the thoughts about FSoG, but it was a good aspect to add to the story. Lots of laugh out loud bits in this one.

Fun and witty, but it dragged at the end. And I didn't care for Madison enough. Her personality wouldn't jive with mine.

I love Screwmates it's so funny. I didn't want to put it down. Love that Madison loves comic books and superheros. Five stars. Love Kayti Mcagee's books. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Laughs and sexy
Enjoyed this book. Love romances with comedy in it too! Very entertaining. Even got a little tad bit emotional at the end. But overall a great read.

Definitely more of a fanfic type of read. Enjoyed but was almost expected. Good read though and really quick too.
