Moms Who Read Romance Novels - Jennifer Goldin
She Read
I enjoyed Jennifer Goldin’s previous book, Anonymous Mom Posts, and when I was offered an ARC of her latest, I jumped at the chance to read it.
Ellory Brayson, a popular romance writer with a marriage in tatters, is worried about her career after she has a meltdown on national TV. She escapes to her hometown of Jupiter Cove, Florida. Her publicist devises a social media campaign whereby Ellory will enlist the assistance of some local romance novel readers to help her “edit” her next release. This also means that she will be utilizing the local bookstore owned by her one time best friend with whom she had a falling out years ago. Each of the women bring their own stories to the table as they sort through their lives.
This was another very entertaining read from Goldin. Acknowledgement of all the romance novel tropes is here along with the penchant of many readers for erotica, AKA smut, as well as the importance of social platforms for today’s writers.
I enjoyed each woman’s life history as well as the resolution of their current dilemmas. Also within this book is an examination of the meaning of friendship, loyalty, forgiveness and the recognition that there are many kinds of love besides romantic love. This was a fun, engrossing, uplifting read that also touched on some serious subjects without weighing down the storyline.
Thanks to @jennifergoldinwrites for the ARC.
