Story was
told from the POV of all four girls (Brooke, Rachel, Lizzie, and Jessica)—each
with their own love woes. All are hard-core readers, which is something I can
TOTALLY relate to. They read, they review, they love, and they virtual-chat
about ALL of it later. It’s funny how they orgasm more from the men in books
than the men in real life. Actually…yeah, I can see that.
Brooke is
the shy, reserved gal who wants the hot, sizzling, sensual romance that can
only be found in books. “It had been a long time since anyone had ‘expertly
explored’ Brooke’s body.” (6)
Rachel is
the down-right kinky broad who wants to test out the moves she reads about. Oy! I don’t know what BDSM is and I don’t
want to know.
Lizzie is
the bored housewife with a baby and all she wants is a little more action every
now and then.
Jessica was
the studious science geek looking for the “un-gettable get.”
Since we’re
living in a technology-driven age, adding the emails between the four girls
made it more contemporary and relatable in today’s society, not to mention that
it was instrumental to the plot. Besides, it’s so much better to text and email
as you never have to talk to the
people. It’s amazing how raunchy the discussions can get and with only a few
words/letters no less. My goodness! It’s
true though: people do share the most intimate things online.
The reviews
were fun and gave a better insight to the girls’ individual desires.
Written in a
combination of emails, reviews, and story, Books,
Blogs, and Reality was enjoyable and funny, albeit a tad lewd sometimes. I
thoughts the girls were silly and naïve to think that they can turn their real
lives into the fantasy lives they read about. Still, the fun part was seeing
them try. After all, don’t we book lovers read to escape from our own lifeless
reality?
You’ll love
watching these girls toil in their love lives and commiserate about it.
A must-read
for all those “mental cases” that so easily get lost in a world of fiction!
My rating: 4.5 stars
