A Girl and Her Dog and Me : A love triangle that bites
About
Boy meets girl. Girl has dog. Trouble ensues because girl treats dog like a furry little prince, like many of today’s dog owners. Doggy spa treatments, check. Doggy yoga, check. Doggy gourmet food, check. Boy reaches the end of his rope (leash) from dog’s unruly, spoiled behavior and, accidentally, knocks off dog. Boy tries to cover it up but eventually gets his just desserts — but not before much hilarity. In short, a modern romance that goes to the dogs.
Praise for this book
"A sardonically zany debut novel focuses on a man who kills his girlfriend’s dog—and suffers the consequences."
"Mike Stetz’s A Girl and Her Dog and Me throws you headfirst into a messy, darkly funny world seen through Brian’s irritated eyes. Not unlike most dudes dealing with their girl's pampered pup - Boo Boo, a high-maintenance terrier - it kicks off with exaggerated griping but spirals quickly into wilder territory than you’d guess.
This book flips family drama on its head, ditching the typical lighthearted tale for something sharper. Instead of just tossing in wild scenes alongside Brian’s deep personal battles, it holds a nice balance of humor and pathos that is tightly written from start to end. Thanks to this nicely judged mix, the story hits hard while also feeling weighty. A memorable and unique read that stuck with me long after I put the book down."
"A Girl and Her Dog and Me" is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that takes the classic love triangle to outrageous new heights—where the third wheel is a pampered pup, and the line between devotion and disaster gets hilariously blurred." -
