Getting Real
By Vicki Lewis Thompson and two other broads that don't hold a candle to her
This is going to be short. This week's book is late and not that great. The book is a set of three novellas that are of the romance type. I picked it up at the good old GW months ago and I thought what the hay.
The first of the three novellas was written by my favorite romance novelist: Vicki Lewis Thompson. I will say without the slightest bit of shame that she is my favorite, because she has a whole series all about loving nerds. (Right up my alley) She has a set that are about geeks too, and now that the hubby brought us into the twenty first century and we have Amazon prime, I will be able to read it on their Kindle service. But back to the topic on hand. I had only planned on reading the first story and then tossing it into our free library but come to find out all three stories are tied together. Well I am sick with a cold and these stories are easy reading and trash (just like the reality TV that the three shows are about) so I read the whole book.
I had a hard time with it for the simple fact that the author is forced to have the people fall in love fast which normally is what happens in romance novels but when they are forced to do it in one hundred to one hundred and fifty pages then it doesn't work for me. There is just no back story or any filler, just quick, quick, quick. Don't read the book. But definitely check out the other nerd books because I am particularly fond of nerds.
