Cute: The Sexual Perils of Growing Up Cute

Does sex have the power to raise the dead? That’s the question asked in this joyous rollicking romp through the life of one Tim Jacoby, cursed from birth with the label, “cute.” The answer is … well, maybe, however, one clever and compassionate caregiver soon realizes that she definitely can raise one particular body part, even in a comatose patient. Alternately hilarious and poignant, the story follows Tim’s sexual maturation from preschool through adulthood, as he falls from a silver-spoon childhood to the dregs of alcoholism and hustling. Left in a vegetative state from an attack outside a pool bar, Tim begins a slow, arduous recovery, aided by his nurse’s ingenious method of using sexual “carrots” and “sticks” to urge him on. “CUTE is a compellingly realistic story that kept me up all night turning pages. Chapters, like “Groin Up,” had me nearly rolling on the floor with laughter, while others elicited tears with their sad tales of juvenile sexual abuse. This book delivers a profound emotional whack in the heart; an impact unlike any novel I have ever read. An incredible reading experience!” - Hack Taylor: Book Review Editor, bleepthem.com
