Kindle Edition, 280 pages
Expected publication: November 8th 2016 by Henery Press
Low brow meets
high brow in a literary love story. Can an emotionally-stunted literary
novelist and a vivacious romance writer find their happily-ever after? Even
when she becomes more successful than he? Love Literary Style spoofs romantic
comedy tropes, winks at literary pretensions and pokes fun at book publishing.
Like Legally Blonde only in the literary world. Inspired by the author's New
York Times article "Masters in Chick Lit." A sparkling romantic
comedy for fans of the Rosie Project.
My Thoughts…
There is so
much I want to share about Love Literary Style but I don’t want to give it all
away. The character of Laurie Lee is
mistaken for someone else by Aaron Mite at a writers’ colony. I was amused by the start of their
friendship/relationship. Laurie was
looking for a hook-up, which isn’t her style at all. I laughed at the tactics Laurie went to just
to get Aaron’s attention. Aaron’s
outright ignoring her was just as funny.
When they got together I expected a geeky awkwardness that just wasn’t
there, at least not all the time.
Aaron is not a
character that I liked all the time. I
felt like he was too smart. There were
times that he couldn’t relate to what Laurie was going through and I wanted her
to tell him to take a walk. Yet,
together they made sense. Laurie made
him be more human. She forced him to do
things that were foreign to him yet things other people did daily. In Aaron’s defense, he also forced Laurie
to make herself a better writer, calling her out on the places where her
writing was lacking although a lot more tact would have been nice.
This is a humorous,
fun book. Love Literary Style is the
first book by Karen Gillespie that I have read and I look forward to reading
more.
