It started with Something like Summer</em>, and from that point on, I have read every word of the Something Like...</em>series and have listened to just about all of them. Jay Bell is such a great writer that you become invested in his characters." Kathie, <strong>The Novel Approach</strong> on Something Like Lightning</em></p><p><br></p><p>"Author Jay Bell wows us once again with his consummate storytelling, his impeccable characterization, and his superior ability to weave a remarkably sweet and lyrical love story." Sammy, <strong>Joyfully Jay</strong> on Kamikaze Boys</em></p><p> </p><p>"Jay's grasp of creating emotional atmospheres in his stories is phenomenal. His words reach inside of me, invoking emotions, almost before I know I feel them." Lena Grey, <strong> Rainbow Books Reviews</strong> on Something Like Lightning</em></p><p> </p><p>"The dialogue is witty and real, the emotion raw and deep. I'm in love with every character in these stories -- they feel like family. I've learned so much from these books and, trite as it may sound, I now have a deeper appreciation for love and life. Excellent." - Sara, <strong>Amazon customer </strong>on Something Like Rain</em></p><p> </p><p>"With Something Like Summer</em>, Jay Bell has created a space where love and romance; grief, understanding and change all resonate with the reader, whether gay or straight, much in the same way Annie Proulx did in Brokeback Mountain." <strong>Raant Magazine</strong> on Something Like Summer</em></p><p><br></p><p>"It had been a long time since a book's characters made me almost forget they were fictional and inspired in me a desire to be a part of their world." Nicholas Kralev, <strong>Huffington Post</strong> on Something Like Summer</em></p><br>
