If beige can be used as a descriptor
for a book, this is beige. It is not unpleasant but there is nothing to it. Time
well spent? Umm, No. Time wasted? Not totally.
Fleur Rosé is a TV celebrity
who has her entire, image and time carefully managed and controlled by her
manager and PR firm. Fleur goes rogue, hops into a car and drives away. When her
manager, Carmen finds her, Fleur protests that she could’ve been meeting a
secret love and kisses the first person around, who just happens to be her
crazy fan, Jalen, who by trade is a plumber. The paparazzi get an eyeful of the
kiss and as a damage control measure, it is decided that Fleur and Jalen will
have to have a brief fake relationship.
Nothing in the book is
really fleshed out or involving. The only character who has a sliver of
personality is Fleur and that makes her more likeable than anyone else. The secondary
characters are more irritating than anything else. Jalen is quite meh.
You can do better with your
time, but if it’s something quick and short you want, this can be a maybe.
