The book was a fantastic read, and since I got my hands on the audio version, even better. This will be a repeat when I feel the need to know that there is someone out there that could love a chubby person no matter what. Because in this day in age is very hard to believe you will find such a person, but books like this one makes me believe there is hope.

Listening to The Half of Us was a total joy.

This is the sweet, heartwarming story Cardeno C. promised. I loved the romance, which didn't develop quickly, and the strength of character in Jared and the people in his life.

I loved this book! C. Cardeno kept me frustrated with Ben, laughing with him and sometimes sobbing right along with him on his journey to self awareness and a life worth living in every respect. C. Cardeno's characterizations and spot on dialog were so wonderfully executed that the story zipped along and I was finishing the end before I knew it. ...And the other characters C. Cardeno created to assist/love Ben into making the life adjustments necessary to become a whole man happy with who he is? They are just so real, so alive that they jumped off the pages at you. ... In fact C. Cardeno has laid out a beautifully realistic book of one's man's' journey to a happy fulfilled life, and the pitfalls he encountered or put up himself that had to be overcome before he could achieve his goals. As I said I loved this book and I think you will too. Don't pass it up.

I liked the story, liked the main characters....I found myself smiling or chuckling while reading. There was no major drama – thank God, the story wasn't drawn out and the end was nothing less than I expected...I completely fell in love with Reggie Moore. He is such a calm, sweet, & funny character...how could you not fall in love?? ...This is such a sweet HEA and I think I needed that ending to get out of my dark cloud. So thank you CC for letting me read such a sweet and funny story!! ...The way their relationship progresses is so sweet. Reg is so strong and patient with Jeremy. Jeremy is in aww of his life after Reg comes into it. It's like he was living in black & white, and now everything is in color. I loved experiencing everything new with Jeremy. It was a very big turn on.
