Story4.5 out of 5 stars 39
The intoxication from a pint of vodka, the electric buzz from snorting cocaine, the warm embrace from shooting heroin - drinking and drugging provide the height of human experience. It's the promise of heaven on earth, but the hell that follows is a constant hunger, a cold emptiness. The craving to get high is a yearning as intense of any blood-thirsty monster. The stories inside feature the insidious nature of addiction told with compassion yet searing honesty.

*My name is Ellis DeAngelo.* I tend to get caught in the midst of trouble quite often. I'm an unlucky guy, but fortunate to have friends to help me out. These aren't the memoirs of a geisha you'll be hearing. And most definitely not some soul-searching discovery that depicts eating, praying, and loving. This is so much better...or worse, depending on your perspective.

When introverted doctor Ben Hardy's high-maintenance girlfriend wants to introduce a little more kink into their love life, he doesn't expect it to come in the form of the hunky new EMT who just moved to Blackwood. Ben's not gay, but damn! He can definitely see why all the women turn to mush when he's around: tall, blue eyes, body of an underwear model. The prospect of being naked in the same room with him is horrifying. So why the hell is he considering it?

He's a straight, carefree frat boy player, just like any good son of a conservative state senator. If only his struggle to convince everyone - especially himself - didn't leave him so miserable. No matter how many girls or bottles he drowns himself in, Jonas can neither escape nor accept who he is.

Imagine. You have cancer. You’ve been blasted and wasted with chemotherapy, along with every other poison the doctors could find to kill malignant cells. Most days you’re more dead than alive. Now there is one last chance for survival. Tomorrow you will be infused with your own, treated bone marrow frozen, stored, and safe in one of California’s most prestigious hospitals. Then comes the note: “We have your marrow.... pay or die."

There are angels, and they are not beneficent or loving. But they do watch over us. They watch our lives unfold, analyzing us for repeating patterns and redundancies. When they find them, the angels simplify those patterns and remove the redundancies, and the problem that is "you" gets solved.

Thriller scribe Sophie Katz is as hard-boiled as a woman who drinks Grande Caramel Brownie Frappuccionos can be. So Sophie knows it's not paranoia, or post-divorce, living-alone-again jitters, when she becomes convinced that a crazed reader is sneaking into her apartment to reenact scenes from her books. The police, however, can't tell a good plot from an unmarked grave.

I just wanted an easy summer job.... That didn’t happen. Now, I’m in a living nightmare as I work alongside this monster of a man with mesmerizing emerald eyes that look at me inappropriately every time I see him. To add insult to injury, he has a tan I just want to lick, and a butt worth drooling over every time he purposefully walks by me. But, he's an asshat, and looks are everything. I mean, aren't. LOOKS. ARE. NOT. EVERYTHING. Why do I have to keep reminding myself of this? This is a story of little restraint, too much desire, questionable actions, and the best sex I've ever had.

Chris Gethard has often found himself in awkward situations most people, including you, probably would have safely avoided. The good news is now, thanks to this book, you can enjoy the painfully funny consequences of his unfortunate decisions at a safe distance. A Bad Idea I'm About to Do invites listeners to join Chris as he navigates an adolescence and adulthood mired in hilariously ill-fated nerdom, and to take comfort in the fact that - as his experiences often prove - things could always be much, much worse.

As Oddly Engaging as the Title Itself
I was thoroughly engaged from the opening line to the final sentence as I listened along. The voice of the author is as exposed and raw as the subject matter itself. Rick, the narrator, perfectly captures the awkward reflective nature of a doomed romance that never had a chance to be anything more than that. Do yourself a favor and listen to a story that you won't soon forget.

Interesting
This book is a lot more interesting than it sounds. A short story about dating a mentally disturbed hooker sounds like a work of fiction, and it was just as entertaining! Excellent narration by Rick Gregory!

A Day In The Life
I expect that this is a representation of a few days in the life of two people we would see on COPS. Provides a glimpse in the troubles you have when you are and date a hooker. Rough and depressing life for sure.
Rick as always did a great job with the narration. His narration and character voices were more subdued for this reading which tells of the mood of the story.
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

A different story with a great narration
I didn’t know what to expect from this one but I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. It describes the details about an episode in the life of the author, and the sordid reality of dating a woman with an inusual baggage.
Short, with lots of realism, and definitely different than the rest.
Rick Gregory’s narration was stupendous. He narrated this book in a beautiful and subtle way.
I received a copy of this book in audio format from the narrator in exchange for an honest review.

Weirdly Realistic
So, I'm not sure if this story is fictional or autobiographical. It's so realistic, and gritty, it's hard to tell. Sad and painful to listen to, yet this story could possibly help someone else either to cope with the fallout, or to stop the self-destruction. It's a winner, either way, both in the writing, and in the narration.
