A sweet book, perfect for those who love romance. The author has written a story about a hopeless romantic, and I found that to be so delightful. Stories like these remind me of why romance books are important – we need them to keep believing in the power of love.
My thoughts:
Why do we read romance books? First of all, they are simple and breezy, a light read for our minds to relax and enjoy. Second, we like the feel-good aftertaste we are left with upon reaching the end of such a book.
“Hopeless in the City” is exactly the light, contemporary romance you might read on an afternoon to relax. The story centers around Angelica, a hopeless romantic who dreams of starring on Broadway. She has dreamed of moving to New York since she was a child, with Broadway being her number one goal. What will happen when everything she has dreamt of is about to come true? I don’t want to spoil the story for you, all I can say is that things will not turn out as expected.
Her new life in the big city will be filled with challenges and she will quickly discover that competition can cause people to be anything but nice. Luckily for Angelica, a handsome neighbor will give her the much-needed boost of confidence.
What did I like about the book?
· I loved following Angelica’s journey and seeing where her dreams would take her
· The fact that it was a light read, this is the kind of book which allows you to unwind at the end of a long day
· Angelica, the main character – in a world defined by irony, where the concept of true love seems lost on women, it was comforting to discover a character portrayed as a hopeless romantic
· Written by a woman for women – the author delivered an accurate portrayal of the challenges faced by modern women, doubled by the unique story
· The ending – even though predictable, it wrapped the story nicely, leaving me with a feeling of contentedness.
Verdict:
This was a fun read and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves romance books. It was interesting to follow Angelica and experience the same emotions she was going through, and I applaud the author for delivering such a sweet romance story.
