What's in a name?
Everything when it's laughable.

Gastrella M. Balance was living a never-ending nightmare. For several years, she'd been the butt of jokes about... her butt. Moving to Knollville was a chance for a fresh start. It was a place where no one knew her past, or her name and she was determined to keep both a secret. Her strategy was to stay under the radar and as inconspicuous as possible. That plan, however, went south the first time she laid eyes on Tanner. When he noticed her, too, she couldn't help but hope for a bit of romance, no matter how far fetched it seemed.

*****

Tanner had everything a guy could ask for in his senior year of high school. He had a football in one hand and a pretty girl hanging off the other arm. Being popular and the center of attention came naturally to him. Taking tests, however, did not and he was desperate to keep that part of his life to himself.

When a series of pranks go awry, they'll both be faced with confronting their personal anxieties. Together, they might have a chance to overcome the odds and survive the year.

Sometimes Love Stinks is a romantic comedy that deals with issues that are both real and difficult. While the main characters in this story are from the mundane world, readers can expect to find the signature supernatural kiss C.A. King adds to all her books.

Never a dull book with this author

I swear I haven't read a bad book from this author yet. King has a way of sucking you into the books and this one is no different.
I laughed, shook my head, and got the personal message loud and clear. Despite the humor in this book, comes a lesson of bullying. Bullying is a terrible thing that can hurt you from the inside out. This author strides to make her point across and succeeds.

Side note: I love the characters in this one. The meaning behind this book came off respectfully and the book was truly well written.

Gastrella was looking forward to a new year at school. Having moved home she had left the stigma behind her, she would remake herself, hold back the embarrassing problem anxiety caused, a problem her name only amplified. Everything was going fine until she caught a glimpse of the hot jock Tanner. But the interest wasn't one way, much to the irritation of his on again off again girlfriend. But when things are taken too far Gastrella realises she is not the alone with her anxiety, that so many feel the same as she does, and reaches out to someone she feels can help.

Sometimes Love Stinks is one of C.A. Kings books based in Knolville, everything about this town has a touch of paranormal, and it even raises it head, albeit more subtly, in this book. I enjoyed the tale, and read it in a single sitting. This short and quirky this tale has a splash of humour, but also carries a serious message about bullying. While it isn't along the vein of what is normally written by this author, the alteration made for a nice change and yet another enjoyable tale. I gave this 4.5 stars and rounded up to 5.

People have issues, this is a bit exaggerated in scope but on target. Love the characters, well written and made the point.

A fun read

This is quite a different read from the other CA King books I've read, but I definitely enjoyed it. The humour is a little over the top, but it's a really sweet book, and one with a powerful message. Definitely worth a read!

A very different read from the other CA King books I've read. The humour is over the top, tongue in cheek, more slapstick. It's quite a sweet read under all the gas jokes with a powerful message about bullying.
