My Monday Mini Review post is meant to be "mini" in the sense that I don't intend to write long reviews. However, this month "mini" means small in quantity. I've had a lot of times where I could read, but just really don't feel like it. It's a strange feeling for me, and one I hope I get over soon, but for now I'm still trying to pick up something to read, and hoping that it will catch my interest.
One thing that is working for me is a good rom-com.
I read this book in just one sitting and loved every minute of it. Elle agrees to house-sit for her sister in New York City so that she can hopefully overcome writers block and produce a screen play whose deadline is looming. Living next door is a billionaire bachelor, Parker Warren, who also happens to be the guy that Elle made out with in a stairwell a couple of years before.
Elle wants nothing to do with Parker; he's on the cover of magazines, while she writes her screenplays anonymously. The two seem to have little in common, but Parker asks Elle to pretend to be his girlfriend for the summer in order to deflect attention from a big business deal.
Anyone familiar with rom-coms knows how this one will end, but that's the beauty of a rom-com. I enjoyed every bump in the road the two faced and the attraction that they had for each other.
If you're looking for the perfect book to bring to the beach, to curl up with on a rainy day, to get over a reading slump, to escape into for an afternoon, this is a great choice. I loved the NYC setting and the love story between Elle and Parker.
