Book of Samuel by James Robinson Jr started with laughter, sarcasm and jokes pulling me in as I read line per line. Samuel and Tabitha's dialogue is just amazing and it's true, Tabitha is right when she said that $8000 for a Rolex watch is good for a man who drives a $100,000 twin-turbo Porsche Cayenne. I agree, like totally.

I like the way the storyline moved to how Samuel felt when he was looking at his wife. She was still beautiful after 28 years of marriage. He wanted to know the name of the scent she was wearing. And after that scene, I was down with that too!

And of course, Samuel does bring the worse out of Tabitha and as a reader I felt that; Tabitha was just awesome even if she had to simmer for a while according to Samuel. Yet, when it came to Sam Sr and Samuel - it wasn't so funny anymore.

Did I read this correctly - Samuel won't touch his wife's cell not even with the proverbial ten-foot pole and then his hands cannot stay away from it. Finds out that there is texting activity going on between their widowed neighbour and Tabitha. Absolutely well written. Kept me wanting to know more.

There was a song that kept coming to my mind as I was reading: Phil Collins, Groovy Kind of Love. Tick-Tick-Tick the ending was like something I never expected and did Samuel really mean it when he said: "Promise me you won't laugh." It was a pure pleasure reading this story. "Get into the Decompress Mode" and read it. I recommend it.
