I received a copy of this title to read and review for Wicked Reads 
 4.5 Stars 
 Genre: M/M Romance | Holiday novel | Warm & Fluffy | 
 Status Update was just what the doctor ordered to pull me out of my bad mood. Light and warm-hearted, Status Update was a nice and cozy afternoon read without any nail-biting stress. Noah was a very interesting character, written with realistic human emotion. Adrian brought humor and an easy-going attitude to the novel. Together, as a couple, they were the perfect balance. 
 A bit about my reading tastes: I'm not one who loves the warm and fuzzy, especially when it's over-the-top. I'm a bit like Noah, annoyed with excess anything: humor, sex, in-your-face insta-love. For me, this warm, emotional book was the antidote to the darkness I've been experiencing. It's the perfect balance for a serious reader while giving the romancy fluffy readers exactly what they need, want, and expect. Status Update had a bit of something to hook most readers with its engaging storyline. Funny. Sweet. Emotional. HOT. 
 I'm a sucker for pets in a story, as well as geek characters, especially video game fanatics, and Status Update had all three. Doggies, geeks, and video games. 
 I've read other books by Annabeth Albert, and this just spurred me into looking into her backlist of titles to read what I've missed. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
