Review: Sleepless in San Francisco by Ryan Field

Review of Sleepless in San Francisco by Ryan Field


SLEEPLESS IN SAN FRANCISCO

When Noah's father dies, it leaves his other father, Ed, in a state of grief so bad that he packs Noah up and moves to San Francisco. Once there, Ed takes on the renovation of the big house, but it's not really working for them. So Noah writes an email to the producers of a reality flipping show à la The Property Brothers, asking them to help with the house, which will in turn help Ed to sleep better.

When Jonathan shows up in San Francisco to speak to Ed and Noah about the possibility of using their home on his show, attraction blooms instantly between Ed and Jonathan. But, once the contracts are signed, the two know they can't mix business with pleasure, so must now be platonic. Uh huh...

I really could not get into Sleepless in Seattle. There's little to no character and relationship development, the chemistry between Jonathan and Ed is the only thing that keeps them together, and the bedroom scenes are weird and awkward and the vocabulary used is particularly unsexy. About the only thing I liked about this awkward, boring tale was the dog Tucker and his buddy, Noah. Too bad the story wasn't about them, then it might have been more interesting.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
