Jodi Morgan is having a bad weekend.
After partying a little too hard, she wakes up with a monster
hangover and almost no recollection of the night before. So imagine her
surprise when she looks in her trunk and instead of finding a spare tire, she
finds the last guy she'd danced with before blacking out.
Who is he? How did he get in there? How did he die? And oh dear lord, did she
kill him!?
When her older brother's best friend offers to help, things start looking up.
They've known each other since she was thirteen, and ten years later, he still
treats her like a little kid - surely, committing felonies has to trigger some
sort of spark. Together, they wind up going on an adventure that takes them all
over Los Angeles. From raves to penthouses to strip clubs. All in the search
for the answer to her question.
Who is the dead guy in my trunk!?
Warning: This book contains some dark humor, a lot of witty banter, and two
characters making more bad decisions than good ones. Also contains adult
themes, language, and graphic sexual activity.

Review
I'm pretty sure I say this after every Stylo Fantome book, but that woman can write anything and Just a Little Junk is proof positive. Every time I read one of her stories, I get something different. During this book giggled, guffawed and laughed out loud throughout the whole story. It was also sexy and intriguing and suspenseful and really so sweet. Jodi and Archer are deliciously crazy in a delightfully extreme situation and it was pure rom com gold.
Jodi is having a bad day. First she wakes up with the hanger of all hangovers. Then she realizes she has a flat tire. And the cherry on top of the terrible start to her day is that instead of finding a spare tire in her trunk, she finds the body of the guy she danced with last night at the club. With no recollection of what happened after dancing much less who this guy is, she panics and runs to her older brother's best friend, Archer. Much to her relief, he agrees to help her try to remember what exactly happened last night so they can try to put the pieces together. As the weekend unfolds, Jodi tries to figure out who the dead guy is, why he's in her trunk and ya know, if she killed him. Their crazy weekend adventure takes them all over LA from high rise penthouses to the local strip club all in the name of figuring out who the dead guy is in Jodi's trunk.
This book was wonderfully different than anything I've read in a while. It was a bit over the top, a bit manic and totally unputdownable. In true Stylo style, we're given the story piece by piece so that we can experience this crazy ride along with the characters. Jo was a heroine who took no shizz from anyone. She kicked butt and took names. And she finds herself in the most ridiculous situations and yet is so endearingly strong. Archer is the best friend that you'd want by your side. He's protective but not stifling. He's able to see the lighter side of life but is still who you need when you need someone in your corner. And he's sex on a stick. These two together kept me in stitches, questioning everything and loving being along for their weekend ride.

Author Bio
Crazy woman living in an undisclosed location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since ... forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball - I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I'm clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.
I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there's your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair - both a curse and a blessing - and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can't understand me.
Yeah. I think that about sums me up.
