Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. This book, featuring a movie-loving romantic and a handsome bookworm is filled with references to great romantic comedies of screen and print...and of course this tale is as wildly and wonderfully improbable as the best of them. A great breezy read for a lazy Sunday! ( ) Il libro sarebbe anche carino e piacevole da leggere se non fosse per la protagonista, Scarlett, uno dei personaggi più insopportabili che abbia mai incontrato in un libro. E non è a causa della sua mania per il cinema, cosa questa che riesce anche a condizionarle la vita, ma per la sua totale mancanza di carattere, per quel suo riuscire a essere una succube a tutti i costi che me l’ha resa totalmente antipatica e detestabile. Per il resto il libro è anche ben congegnato e alcuni personaggi sono molto simpatici e piacevoli, ma aver a che fare costantemente con una protagonista senza alcun temperamento e personalità è stato del tutto insopportabile. La serie prosegue con altri due libri che portano avanti le vicende di Scarlett e Sean ma, per me, è già abbastanza così e la storia si chiude qui, senza alcuna possibilità di appello. Effettive due stelle e mezzo. Scarlett wishes she were living in a movie - which bugs everyone around her including her fiance. I liked Scarlett and wasn't sympathetic to the complaints of those around her. I liked Sean simply because he wasn't trying to get Scarlett to give up something she loved. Scarlett herself was a bit shallow - she had half formed ideas of what she should do, what is real love, and what the people around her want for her. But the purpose of the book - to have a romantic ending - was amply fulfilled. no reviews | add a review

When a chance house-sitting job in iconic Notting Hill comes along, she knows living in one of her favoritemovie settings is an opportunity too good to pass up. Leaving behind her skeptical friends, family, and fiance, Scarlett heads to London and finds herself thrust into the lead role of her very own romantic comedy. But can real life ever be just like the movies? Larger-than-life new friends, a handsome but irksome new neighbor, and a mystery from her past may prove to Scarlett that living her life like a RomCom is more complicated than she thought! "Sparkly, fun, and endearing."â??Kate Fforde "This romantic comedy is the perfect way to pass a winter afternoon should Johnny Depp be unavailable."â??Daily Record No library descriptions found. |
