Phantom Pleasures by Julie Leto

It didn't grip me too hard but I powered through.  Nothing about this story is otherwise indicative of 2008's Saint Augustine.  The most important thing about that month and place is that four of the coolest young men on earth moved into a house together.  A dining room table was included. There were some dentures in a storage room above the garage, as well as a license plate advertising Studio 13 Disco.  

At the time of release, they had a promotional poster at the Old City Gift Shop.  I bet the book sold well to tourists of the exceptionally literate persuasion.  Phantom Pleasures, while somewhat entertaining, had the quality of story you might otherwise expect from a made for tv movie.  Too bad special effects aren't free.  They could have left out the special effects because in the end, it doesn't even matter.  Much like the story of our lives, most efforts and events have zero effect on how the story ends.  We will eventually run out of pages and have to figure out how to end things on a note satisfying enough to sell our next thing.  Honestly, I would expect a better recommendation from the Old City Gift Shop on Cathedral Street in 2008.
