View in Library Catalog
book cover


Cynthie Taylor and Jack Turner Jones are young actors who star in their first movie together and are tasked with pretending to be in a fake relationship for publicity purposes. The entire relationship implodes and both Cynthie and Jack vow never to speak again. Thirteen years later, the two more famous stars are offered to star in a remake of the original cult classic movie but with the stipulation of having another pretend relationship for publicity. The second time around with ground rules and more maturity, can Cynthie and Jack face the truth about each other? Read and find out. This was definitely a feel good read and I recommend it if you are looking for a little romance.

A short (277 pages) novel, but packed with emotion! The protagonist, Michael Woodbine is very relatable. When he was 7 years old, he nearly died from a fireworks accident. We meet him at age 19, starting college, where he meets his film professor, Robert Denning, who will influence Michael's life in a profound way.
