Because of You

Rating:
Summary: Easy and fun read
Review: but I did enjoy this book. It rolled around so many of the girl thoughts that normally run through my brain, I didn't have to think a lot about it to read it. Rambling? Sure. Neurotic and funny? Yeah, it was.
Meg (who I can only picture as Meg Ryan, btw) is an aspiring writer that no publishing company seems to want to give the time of day. On a whim, she signs her last submission for a sweet romance novel like it was written by a man, "borrowing" her boyfriend's name. Marcus (bf) is really only interested in marrying Meg and having their farm together and is barely excited about having to carry on as the writer once the company accepts the book. Turns out the company thinks the angle is super and so do the millions of women who run to the booksellers to snatch up their copies. Marcu is touring, signing, and loving every minute of it while Meg is behind the scenes scrambling to write more for Marcus' "career" and struggling to hold together the remaining fragments of their relationship. In the meantime, she starts to have feelings for his agent, a guy named Nick Carter (not the Backstreet Boy!!!!) and this really makes her mad at herself. After all she's a nice Catholic girl and wants to be honorable, but how honorable can she be when she is lying about the whole book deal in the first place? Her best friend has priceless advice and is hilarious. The characters also include a homosexual guy who is waaaaaay out there, and Nick's receptionist who is a genuine smart...! Funny. Didn't have to do a lot of in depth thinking to read this one, but what the heck, right?

Review: I thought this was an easy, enjoyable and quick read. This is your basic romance novel, and what woman can't do with a little romance once in awhile. The main character's emotions are "real" and I believe relatable by most women, and the dialog between her and her friends is comical. If one wants to take a break and have a little entertainment, this book will do just that.

Summary: Just the breather I needed!
Review: Wallering around in the cesspool of biographies and "true life" stories, I was desperately looking for a break in the fiction department. A friend emailed this recommendation to me and I will pass it on to you all. I suppose she originally emailed it to me because there was an X File reference in there that I would get a giggle over, and I ended up getting pretty good chuckle over the whole book! It's about a young Midwest woman trying to get her book published and is inspired by a reviewer who enjoys quirky spins on books. She signs her fiancee's name to a really fluffy romance novel and send it to a publisher who then decides to publish it. She begs her fiancee to stay with the game for a bit and things get a little out of control. The support cast is hilarious, a Rosie O'Donnel type character is her best friend, a flamboyant gay guy is the other, and then there's the matter of her fiancee's agent who is arrogant as all get out... There are several pop culture and current event references in this that will really catch the "Friends" generation and give you a private laugh. They are cleverly woven in throughout the book. Hey--it's a good one if you like stuff like "Sleepless in Seattle." I recommend it.
