Title: what you are reading is what you are writing
Review: Meta- of the moment, in the moment. What you are reading is what you are writing, is what you are living, which is what is being written. On the surface, Daniel Hayes' new work, "Tearjerker" explores the revenge fantasy of an unpublished writer and a burnt-out book editor. This easily could have veered off into Stephen King's Novella "Misery" terriorty, but it does not. It delves into the depths of friendship, romance, reality, fantasy and what it is to be in the moment, and follow this closely readers - what is the moment you are in? Hayes' previous book of short stories "Kissing You" strung together short stories with themes of longing, devotion, and unchecked realities, in "Tearjerker" he does the same, but with one cohesive short novel. You will not want to put this book down until you know how it ends. And when it does end, it will leave you wondering how to feel about the characters; happy for them, or sad for them?
