Publisher's summary

Etty Lawrence is a best-selling romance author. At least - she would be if she could just get someone to read her books. Apparently, Amazon doesn't consider the 500 books purchased by your mother to be ‘best seller' material.

When Etty's given some simple advice from a friend - write what you know - she takes it to heart. But she's never been in love before, and she doesn't really have time to fall in love and write a novel at the same time. So, she convinces her slightly unwilling lifelong friend, Travis, to let her follow him around and witness real love, first hand. A third person memoir, if you will. Travis is the perfect hero for her story: he's funny, smart, and good looking; only there's one problem. He says all the wrong things. Does any girl really want to talk about the NHL trades? And his jokes would make a kindergarten class roll their eyes.

But the worst part is, Travis's dates laugh at his corny jokes; the jokes he told Etty first. They touch his sweater; the sweater Etty bought him. And the way these women swoon and gush over him…they obviously aren't leading lady material.

Now Etty has to take this love thing into her own hands if she has any hope of writing a best seller that people other than her mother will buy.

I gave it 2 hours before I quit

I always want to listen long enough to give a book the chance to capture my interest, but eventually I decided that my time is valuable and I should not have to suffer through strained storytelling and lousy story reading.

The premise of the story is forced. This plot would never, could never happen because no one would with any class would agree to let a writer tag along to observe their romance. It was impossible to like Etty because who could possibly like someone who believed this was a good idea. I liked Travis, but I was annoyed that he indulged Etty’s scheme. Bottom line, Emily Harper was wasting my time.

Chelsea Stephens was a disaster. I could not call her a narrator. At best she was a reader. She has no craft. She does not create characters with her voice and she does not use pacing and inflection to inject humor or build drama. She needs to spend time studying pros like Amanda Ronconi or Andi Arndt.

Not worth the credit or the time.
