A Tales from Foster High Story Snarky yet good-hearted Robbie DeCaro made his first appearance in the pages of Tales from Foster High: End of the Innocence, years after the loss of his first and only love. A New York transplant, Robbie now decides that his work is done in the town of Foster, and the time has come for him to leave Texas. Returning to his childhood home on Long Island, Robbie reunites with his family members. Each using their own unique methods, they try in vain to help Robbie reset to a life he knew before he left it all for the fairy-tale love he found, then tragically lost. As he remembers some of the darkest moments from his past, Robbie wonders if he'll ever find the "after" in "happily ever after."… (meer)

Where to begin? I guess first, I want to express my absolute amazement at the wonders of both Robert and John. While maybe this kind of hand off writing has been done before, I have never before seen it or experienced it as a reader. This took courage on both sides and so much trust. Trust from John to be able to hand over a character in this way…that Robbie (yeah I can’t do Robert or Rob...it’s stuck already) will not fuck this up…that he will write with a similar love and affection for his characters that we have seen thus far in the Foster High Series. And gosh…the courage it must have taken Robbie to embark in such a writing adventure as this. So how did it go from my standpoint???

Bravo gentlemen, Bravo!

This really was beyond what I expected. We got very little of Robbie’s “voice” in 151 Days…but there was never a time when I read this that I looked down at my book and thought…Is this Robbie?? This was beautifully portrayed, witty and heartbreaking, and ultimately so in keeping with the character we have grown to love.

Now onto the book...

Well…I cried on the first page…
I cried on the second page…
I grabbed another box of Kleenex…
I met the family, pee’d in my pants but continued on…
I cried again…
I virtually punched Sean in the face…
I went on a fabulous first date which I long to re-read again and again… (I mean…really…this could not have been more fabulous and while FATE can be a bitch…FATE handed Robbie the perfect guy to tear down his emotional walls, quite literally…everything about this date from start to finish was perfection)…
I wanted to kiss Sebastian...
I wanted to hug Robbie...
I belted out laughter on the street…
I belted out laughter on the street…
I belted out laughter on the street… (yes, this happened…numerous times and honestly this is one of the funniest damn books I have ever read)…
I wanted to hit Tyler… (yeah I know. I shouldn’t feel this way anymore, but that’s a hard one to let go of, even with as much as I know now and as much as I love this character)...
I wanted to eat at Robbie’s Mom's house…
I want to hang out with the old bitter (but crass and awesome) Uncle James…
I wanted to watch every Broadway Musical and Disney movie referenced in this book…
I wanted to text with Kyle...
And ultimately I wanted more…this was way too short…I only hope that there will be another book in Robbie’s far from Neverland world. Especially now that his heart has melted.

So I land at 4.5…while I loved every minute of this…I do wish we had gotten more of Riley. While we got some and we know the love that Robbie felt for him, we did not get enough of them…of the love they shared, of what made Riley special. I would have liked their first date. Seeing maybe more differences between these two amazing men that have developed an affection for this wonderful character.

I eagerly await the next in the Foster High Universe as yes…there’s a cliffy…WTF was that all about??? Hmmmm Guess I’ll have to wait and see.

A fabulous BR with Sonia, Elsbeth, Momo, Nathan and Paul. " (
