Review: Take Two by Whitney Gracia Williams (Goodreads Author)

Take Two by Whitney Gracia Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the most outrageous, funny, cute and actually an enjoyable romance love story ….

Even when some of the scenes were beyond OTT….and perhaps unbelievable beyond anything…it still kept me turning the pages …..what could possibly be more outrageous!!!!

Melody Carter, beautiful and talented NYC movie/book reviewer/critic is finally seeing her dream come true! Standing at the altar, saying her I do to the man of her dreams, when a woman walks up the aisle and steals her man from her! The man of her dreams ditches her and runs away with the wedding breaker!!! No, this is not The Runaway Bride Scenario….

She’s at the altar, alone at her three thousand dollar wedding she had always dreamt having…..

Devasted, heartbroken, left without a word by the man she believed was the ONE for one and she the ONE for him. That’s so cold!!! How could a man do something like that to a woman like Melody?? Because, she never saw beneath that glamour of his…that he was nothing more than …yes, this is what I think about her darling Sean…..

What is a girl to do in this situation? Go back to Mom and Dad, hurt, miserable, heartbroken, wanting old Sean back..blah blah blah…and naturally crying buckets!!!

But there comes a time when you have to do something about the situation…right?? Stop the sobbing and the tears and get on with life…start with the first thing….how to get him back…remember he didn’t like your beautiful red hair and made you change it to brown….start now….

And no, girl, throwing darts at his foto is not even close to good enough……

Yes, that thought you had!!! Keeping the bestest and most expensive wedding presents for yourself….no, throw away the cookware, keep the money and diamonds and art….

So it’s back to work and continue with your movie reviews…especially the nasty ones about Matt Sterling’s movies!! Hell, girl, they are beyond cruel!!!!

Matt Sterling, mega superstar, movie star, tabloid Hollywood darling is royally pissed off about the horrendous and negative reviews he gets from Melody Carter, super movie critic and he’s about to tell her exactly what he thinks about her!!!

Their first meeting in Melody’s office is totally brilliant…..

What follows next after this meeting is beyond believable!!!!
Matt Sterling and Selena Ross are a couple, both mega movie stars, once in love but now so not!! Selena wangles a way for Matt agreeing to them having the wedding of the century for publicity purposes, which turns into an absolute nightmare for Matt…because you see, he’s totally besotted with Melody but he can’t seem to find a way to get his life straighten out!!!

Melody is totally besotted with Matt…who would ever guess she could find the REAL man of her dreams so quickly??? But then Matt Sterling is no Sean….he’s so much …so beyond much more than that not Melody’s real first man……

This was such a quirky story with some really great secondary characters….my favorites being Joan, Matt’s PA and Jen, Melody’s sister!!! They were a laugh a minute.

Look, this is not a book that’s gonna win any Pulitzer or whatever prize…rather it’s a story that takes you away from the mundane and everyday life…a great escape from reality…and just what I needed!!!!
