Product Description

"I bring you tidings of... DAMMIT!"

With those few words, Jack Lynch's world would change forever. The nerdy guy from Hammond High has returned for his twentieth reunion. He's rich, successful, and ready to re-claim the girl who got away: Rori McLeary.

There's just one small problem... Jack is also dead. But with the help of an angel in training, his mom, and the rockin' body of his former arch-nemesis, Jack is still going to get the girl.

He has three days to convince Rori to love him. He's got the body he never had, the brains he always had, and Norman the geek angel on his side.

What could possibly go wrong?

*NOTE: This is a short, sweet romance of 15,826 words.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, February 23, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Boyfriend's Back (Kindle Edition)
This short little story kept me occupied and in stitches on a plane trip. It sounded confusing, but the author really kept everything tight and simple. Jack is returning to his home town a rich, successful man in hopes of winning back the girl he fell in love with long ago. His rival in high school, John, has always been the handsome jock, but his bad personality and terrible morals have landed him on skid row. He wants Jack to get him a job, so he begs a ride to the reunion in his limo.

The car crashes. Because Jack has been a good soul, an angel comes to give him a second chance, only Jack is accidentally returned to the WRONG body, and refuses to leave it.

He has to win his love back in the body of the guy he THOUGHT she loved. Only she really loved Jack, not John.

It sounds confusing. I have no idea how this author did it, but it was really easy to follow and funny as all get out. The angels were hilarious. I read it in about two hours. Best dollar I ever spent!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun and Silly Novelette, March 2, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Boyfriend's Back (Kindle Edition)
This is a fun little story that will take you less than a couple hours to read. It's very well written and edited. I found myself smiling and giggling at the cast of characters.

Jack Lynch is on his way back to his 20th high school reunion. The class nerd has morphed into a multimillionaire. John Lydon, the class of 1991's lead jock, will also be there. He hasn't had similar luck and intends to ask Jack for a job. Between the two men is Rori, a lovely woman with regrets of letting Jack get away.

I won't go into too much detail on the storyline. It is a short story and I don't want to spoil it for you. What I will say is I loved Ms. Olinger's portrayal of heaven - angels in training, office of human resources, elevators to Earth, etc. I encourage her to write another story with a made up world full of silly characters. I feel she has a knack for this. I highlighted quite a few clever passages.

The only drawback to the story (for me) was the similarity of the two male characters names. Jack Lynch and John Lydon. This was a problem for me. The story mentioned that these two characters were thrown together often in high school due to the spelling of their last names. That's fine, but did their first names have to be so similar? What was the reason for this? Many times during the first 30% of the story I found myself stopping and trying to remember which man was which. This interrupted the flow of the story for me.

I'm sure this is only a problem for me. I also had issues with Stephenie Meyer's characters Charlie and Carlisle - two completely different men and people in her books.

My Boyfriend's Back is a great story to read while you're waiting for your child to finish practice or during a soak in the tub. Highly recommended!

My son was in the hospital for a week and I was so stressed out. This short made me laugh and gave me a much needed break. Olinger writes good funny.

More About the Author

Chrissy Olinger is a writer who lives in New England. In 1967 she was lost on a family picnic. Always resourceful, she made her way to a den, where she was reared in the wild by black footed ferrets. Her mustelid name, Chklgglrgchkchk, roughly translates as "large one who squashes our young."

Discovered by park rangers in the mid-80s, Chrissy was reintegrated into society through television and reading. This is why she is weird. It is also why she can quote massive passages from sitcom dialogue and knows all the words to The Banana Splits theme song.

She freelances as a language and verbal forensics specialist and writes books to stay out of trouble. Whether this is successful is open for debate.

Learn more (and join the debate) on her website, where there is a blog, links to twitter and facebook pages, and lots of other ways to interact. (You've been warned.)
