"Jay Bell is an auto-buy author for me. It started with Something like Summer, and from that point on, I have read every word of the Something Like...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, The Novel Approach on Something Like Lightning
"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, Joyfully Jay on Kamikaze Boys
"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, Rainbow Books Reviews on Something Like Lightning
"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, Amazon customer on Something Like Rain
"With Something Like Summer, 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." ~Raant Magazine on Something Like Summer
"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, Huffington Post on Something Like Summer
