8.3.2016 - Monsters: A Love Story
Thanks so much to NetGalley, the publisher and debut author for the opportunity to read and review this wonderful book!
While this book may not be for everyone (a bit raunchy and there's very liberal use of the "f" word), but oh what a ride. I really loved this book! I loved the very flawed characters. I loved this author's writing style. Just a really fun read with lots of layers.
Stacey is a widow with 2 young boys living in Nebraska - she has written a poetry book that gets attention from a wildly-popular actor (Tommy) who helps to bankroll it into a movie, in which he will star. While trying to deal with her and her sons' grief, she is thrust into a Hollywood lifestyle and begins an on/off relationship with Tommy. Tommy's reputation as a playboy precedes him as well as continues and the dance begins between these two characters.
While the settings and plot are possibly unrealistic, these characters seem very real. They have flaws, fears and make mistakes - just like the rest of us!
This book is quite addictive and it was really hard to put down. I can't wait to read more from this author - bravo!
