The Girl Made of Cool- Book Review
Fox tells the story of a young man and woman who are falling in love with each other , but the young woman doesn't know it. She believes that she is falling in love with the man's far more handsome, more perfect friend. As the story unfolds and deepens, we see how these two highly talented young man must suffer, struggle , and wage battle to woo this young woman. ( Back of the book)
Ridley- boy
Jayne-girl
Chet- room mate
I had a tough reading this book and didn't connect to any of the characters at all.
Ridley is meets and falls in love with Jayne at first sight. Chet tries to woo Jayne too. Jayne was a pretty strong female. Chet would have conversations with an audience , and he is also seeing his secretary.
I think that it due to how the scenes were set up. It made it seem like a play or movie.
Many of the the characters conversations didn't seem real to me. I tried picturing the conversations , but no one talked liked that in real life. Some Conversations made sense but other didn't any sense.
There are 3 short stories in this book but I only read the The Girl of Cool.
You might like it but I didn't ...It was too disjointed for me and the conversations.
Book Review= 2 or 3 / 5
Thanks to the Author for the book and this is my Honest Review.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the email!
Sometimes you just don't like a book. Great honest review. I don't like books with characters that I can't relate with and I hate (for some unknown reason) short stories.
