He endured bullying, illness, attempted suicide, becoming a victim of sex trafficking, death threats by the thousands, and never being able to return to a country he once called home. He knew his life would never be the same, but he didn't expect the backlash that followed. Omar Sharif Jr.'s name always protected him wherever he went, until he made the difficult decision to come out in the pages of The Advocate.

I very rarely bring up the cost of a book (because I really do try to respect the time and effort authors put into their creations), but I don't think this story is worth the full price I paid.not for a lackluster novella.A Tale of Two Omars is a book by Omar Sharif Jr. I wanted them all to die, but, alas, no happy ending for the reader, just a really self-centered summary, courtesy of the narrator, who manages to make everything be about her. Zero character development, and pitiful interactions. The guy hopelessly in love the jealous chick, and the married guy who only showed up to see his ex-girlfriend. The chick who can't stand the narrator because of jealousy issues. The narrator who is suffering from mental illness, and has had a dysfunctional relationship with all three guys. You have the pretty boy who has apparently slept with both the females in the group. The characters are the weakest part of the story. I expected to be frightened, but She-With-The-Blackened-Teeth doesn't even come close to the Japanese horror I hoped for. While well-written, and steeped in suspense, there's not much in the way of action, dialogue, or the supernatural. One of the most over-hyped stories I've ever read.
