Me, My Next Door Neighbor, And Bob

Lauren is in a satisfying, long-term relationship. Alas, her partner is Bob, her vibrator. Whilst he takes care of most of her needs, she needs something more. She needs a man. But where to find a man who'll understand her and Bob's close relationship? Maybe Alex, her next-door neighbor and the guy she has fantasized about for two years, is just the man she has been looking for…

Jalena Burke's Me, My Next Door Neighbor And Bob is an unusual and thoroughly enjoyable short story that is sure to bring a smile to your face. The tale is told by the lead character, Lauren, who talks about her vibrator – or battery operated boyfriend (BOB) – as if it were a man rather than a magnificent piece of modern technology. It is this that makes the tale rather quirky, and has the benefit of making this short story stand out as a top rate tale. The plot is paced well and the reader doesn't get the feeling that there is something lacking. Au contraire, Me, My Next Door Neighbor And Bob feels complete and leaves the reader pleasantly satisfied. Sex is described, though not in overly graphic detail nor with coarse language – and with an intriguing use of dessert. Ice cream, anyone?
