Review
of Two For One - Sean David Wright |

The
mark of first-rate comedies is when they successfully disguise
serious issues beneath the comedic veil so that the reader
ends up hearing a well-meaning message without that message
disrupting the enjoyment of having a good time.
Two For One—a novel about having choices is Sean David
Wright’s debut book, a romantic comedy which takes
the typical girl-seeks-guy formula one would find in a Jane
Green or Marian Keyes story and adds another, saucier element
to it by making the main female character, Danielle, a bisexual
woman.
Danielle, however, has a problem: even though she’s
completely infatuated with her boyfriend, Max—with
whom she swears she cannot live without—the duality
of her sexual nature is practically screaming at her to
let it enjoy the company of women also. |
This
dilemma is heightened when Danielle meets Katie, an absolutely
gorgeous lesbian whom Danielle cannot get out of her mind. But
despite the mutual attraction between the two women they know
they cannot act upon their feeling because Max is in the picture.
Yet it’s Max who unexpectedly comes to the rescue.
Two For One is the kind of book which is perfect for escaping;
it’s a bang on easy-to-read comedy that lets you forget
the rest of the world while you are turning its pages. But what
I like best is what it says should be done about the old-fashioned
ideas concerning what makes a legitimate relationship: that
they should be smashed apart and re-examined. |

That there is far too much sexual diversity in this world for
anyone to believe that the only valid romances are those between
one man and one woman. That there are people in this world who
are naturally conflicted about what they need in order to feel
satisfied on an intimate level and that it's possible for such
people to find the satisfaction they crave if given a chance.
The novel was extremely funny and you’ll love the quirks
of the three main characters. Max is a misanthropic New Yorker;
Danielle has a pricey shopping addiction; and Katie has a sanctimonious
streak which often backfires on her. Moreover, it’s very
sexy at times and contains a supporting cast that lends richness
to the tale as a whole. Buy it if you want to laugh and enjoy
a romantic comedy with a very modern day twist. |
