Cris Pereira hates starring in a cautionary tale. Alas, her recent heartbreak relegates her to this unbecoming fate. The only good thing about being dumped a foot from the altar is the newest layer to her punchy sarcasm. All she wants is a do-over, but this is not your average fairy tale, and wishes don't come true in the real world. One Sunday afternoon, she meets a movie star. Tom Abramson is intelligent, charming, and impetuous. In other words, he plays the role a bit too well. She isn’t falling for it. She knows better. All British men are not descendants of Fitzwilliam Darcy, and movie stars are genetic mutations gone awry: X-Men with statistical disadvantages and emotional handicaps. Keep your knight in shining armor. A modern girl can rescue herself, thank you very much. After all, dreams are for the foolhardy, nightmares are just a part of life, and . . . this is not your average fairy tale.
This one is a bit difficult for me to review. I loved the majority of the book, but the few flaws I found keep gnawing at my mind, which in turn caused me to look at the book with a pessimistic eye.
I loved the witty humor of the book! I was almost always laughing when I was reading this. It was a cute, funny read. If anything the book was a great laugh. I would recommend this to anyone who wanted some romance, with a side of humor.
The one thing I couldn't get out of my mind was the character flaws. Yes, I loved Cris! She was a strong girl, has a soft heart, and she was the one with the humor. I really didn't like the way she was the book line, stereotypical Latino chick. It frustrated me some. I could guess her next move. If you look passed that, she is a great character! I could relate to her and the pain of a bad breakup. Tom. Who dosn't love a hot movie star? I really liked Tom's character. His attitude, just everything about him. His flaw: being to perfect, and likable. But thats a movie stars job!
The cover is beautiful! I really do love it.
Renee has some writing talent. I will be expecting even better books from her in the future. I felt like she can grow to be a VERY popular contemporary writer.
Overall: This was a cute and funny romance. I thought this was a light summer read, perfect for the beach!
