Mike is stressing because he can’t seem to keep his relationships going and is starting to get a complex. He turns to his sister as usual who has an unusual solution. You have to suspend belief for this book but its funny and interesting and definitely not predictable.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Let me say right up front that I read this marvelous and thoroughly enjoyable story non-stop, in just a couple of hours. I could not wait to reach the conclusion.
A quick review of the story line. Mike is attractive. Mike has no problems attracting men, but Mike does have problems maintaining relationships. Incidents with former partners have led Mike to think the reason he cannot maintain relationships is because his penis is too small. Mike and his sister, Carman, seek help from a magic-maker to help Mike “see” how to go about fixing his relationship issues. The magic-maker causes Mike’s clone to appear. And that’s when the fun starts.
The author asks us to “suspend disbelief”. It was, in fact, those two words “suspend belief” that drew me to ask for an ARC of this book. Let’s talk about that for a minute. For anyone who has ever read and enjoyed reading paranormal, sci fi, magic, mystic, or more down-to-earth every day folklore, suspending belief is easy. Wizards, witches, fae, shifters, druids, gifted humans who work for good as well as evil. I’ve met them all. So one magic-maker who causes the creation of one clone didn’t cause even one shake of my head. I found it really easy to let the story flow and just go with that flow.
I’d find it more difficult, and I did, to image a brother discussing the size of his penis with his sister. Yes, that did cause a raised eyebrow.
Now let’s talk about what this book is really about. It’s about the insecurities that each and every one of us carry. It’s about how we see ourselves. How we stress ourselves over how the rest of the world sees us. It’s the constant worry over how we look. Too short, too tall, too fat, too skinny...too, too, too. In the end, it’s about Mike’s need to step back and really see himself and how he impacts the world and the people around him.
And Under Five is, at its heart, also a love story. Yes, the books contain explicit sexual content, but it is also full to overflowing with emotions that I felt coming out of the page. I relished every second spent with this book. I’m giving it a solid 4.5.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC in return for an honest review.
