Movie Game
by Michael Ebner
Here’s the set-up:
It’s been three years since Joe’s father vanished. Now seventeen, he is unaware that government agents are watching him in case his dad makes contact. Joe is too distracted by his secret girlfriend, midnight swims in the pools of strangers, free drinks from his buddies at the movie game and the glamorous college student, Felicity. But his movie-esque existence and addiction to fiction is set to collide with a heavy dose of reality this summer when he discovers everything is not what it seems: his secret girlfriend wants to be the real thing. His college fling may have ulterior motives. And the government agents want co-operation to catch his missing father. All this and the three year old death of Joe’s first girlfriend Alice are going to cause him to face some dark truths. It’s no longer a movie game. This is his life and he wants to win.
Reviews:
“Exciting and fun to read. Ebner’s style reminded me of James Patterson’s, short snappy sentences that keep you wanting more.” – San Francisco Book Review
“The writing style is fast paced and oftentimes funny, and it’s reminiscent of a black comedy; dark and amusing in its bluntness. Joe is a well developed character and full of rage about the loss of his girlfriend, and it’s a look into the mind of a young boy who has just experienced a huge loss and doesn’t have any idea how to process it all. It’s easy to feel for him in his situation.” – Portland Book Review
