Books, Blogs, & Reality
Publication Date: October 24, 2014
Synopsis:
Life can suck…
When reality becomes overwhelming, seeking comfort in fictional fantasies keeps hope alive. And while this escape may be a little delusional, it’s also therapeutic.
Sharing secrets is daunting, but virtual friends don’t often judge and they are always ready to share a glass of wine…or three…while typing out life’s latest endeavors.
Brooke believes obstacles only add to romance, not detract. Rachael longs for a more intense relationship, or so she thinks. Lizzie misses the excitement in her life, but sometimes new situations find you when you’re not even looking. And Jess believes a tiger can change his stripes. It can’t.
Bound by a shared passion for blogging about happily ever afters, these four young women use keyboard therapy to work through their expectations, anxieties, and inadequacies, all with the hopes of achieving the perfection found in romance novels.
Completely blinded by what they think life should be, they navigate their unique paths in search of what they envision is right. But when reality taunts them with persistent curve balls, will they be strong enough to choose wisely? Or will their happy endings escape them?
My review
It 's a quick and fun read to read for anyone who has a blog where talks mostly of books.
The protagonists are four twentysomethings very different from each other: they all have a blog where review their favorite romance and often find themselves in chat to talk about books but also their real problems. Lizzie is an English girl who got married very young and has a 2 year old child Her marriage is in crisis, afraid that her husband has another and no longer safe to love him. Jess instead fell in love with the wrong guy, the classic asshole. She thinks that she is like the protagonist of novels she reads: the right girl that changes the heartthrob. Rachael wants to increase passion with boyfriend Kevin experiencing pushed sex that reads in her books but soon she will realize the difference between fiction novels and reality. Brooke has a new job and falls in love with her boss: it is a love story difficult but he will not have the courage to fight for their love.
The narrative alternates chat among girls and the story of their real life, alternating in each chapter the story of one of the girls.
It 's a romantic novel, sexy, with some twists and fun.
