This is the second book for this evening's Teachers and Friends Book Club meeting. If you didn't read my last review, we decided because Chicago, New York, and Rome (albeit Kentucky) feature, pizza was a good choice. So we are meeting at Lorenzo's. Of course when we planned this I didn't know my son would be receiving awards at the same place Monday and Wednesday. It's ok, their food is good.
Anyway. This is a romantic comedy, and apparently is part of a series. I had no issue understanding the plot having not read anything else from it. It was cheesy, silly, overly bubbly, and had plot holes bigger than the divot in the middle of Stevens Avenue.
A small town Kentucky elementary school teacher leaves his job mid-year to get married and move to the big city. Few months later he decides BIG CITY LIFE is just not for him and he moves back. Instantly rehired to the dismay of his former grade partner who can't stand him. She's an aspiring smut author and it turns out Mr. Nice Guy Next Door is a famous mystery writer. In a series of unbelievable mockeries of rural country life, she accidentally sends her soft-core porn novel to their school principal, and he volunteers to steal said principal's laptop to erase the download.
Now, I did chose "liked it" in the online poll we do. Because it's still better than some of the stuff we've read. But am I going out to buy the series? No. Nor would I recommend this except to the biggest fans of easy read beach rom coms. It was good enough to finish however.
