DainyBernstein reviewed Love story by Jennifer Echols
Review of 'Love story' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Full review on Reader's Dialogue: readersdialogue.blogspot.com/2011/10/love-story.html
I love love love love this book! It's so real, the emotions so big and life-size, the feelings of love and of betrayal so strong. The cast of roommates is very compelling, with all their eccentricities and ticks. And Erin and Hunter are such three-dimensional characters, layers being peeled back with each page, complicating their love story. What complicates it even more is their misreading of each other, so that in an inverse way, this book reads like a take on Pride and Prejudice.
The main shtick of the book - the stories that Erin and Hunter write - works really really well. The stories reveal clearly what they're thinking, and at times obscure what they're thinking, and the way they're interspersed throughout the narrative feels so natural. It's the stories that write the love story!
A thoroughly enjoyable read and one …
