Description:
Farley Jones is a loud, chaotic, and hilariously clever standup comedian on the way to stardom. The only thing she loves more than the rush of telling jokes in front of a revved up audience is her hot older manager Meyer, though he doesn't have a clue. Keeping her feelings hidden from him is agony but Meyer has been Farley's closest and most treasured friend, not to mention vital to the trajectory of her career. She can't risk ruining their relationship by telling him how she truly feels. After all, who else would have the patience to put up with a hot mess like her?
A former standup star himself, single father Meyer Harrigan left the stage years ago in order to focus on raising his Deaf daughter Hazel. Farley has been everything to them since she came into their lives three years ago, and despite his grumpiness, his protectiveness over Hazel, and his disdain for public attention, Meyer will do anything to make her standup dreams come true.
When the biggest opportunity of Farley's career comes along and forces the pair to fake-date in order to stir up publicity, it doesn't take long for their act to bring all those other funny feelings out into the open. Like most matters of the heart, it quickly begins to feel like anything but a joke.
My Take:
If you want a lovely beautiful romance book with sex scenes this is it. I was just looking through the shelves at my library when I came across this book and I don't regret it. The characters talk about therapy and the fear of taking that next step. Farley is the emotionally charged woman we probably recognize ourselves in. I love the way the author made sure Hazel had a voice throughout the whole book. She wasn't just a puzzle piece to fit into the story. She was her own person throughout even without a point of view to read from.
This book was really wholesome and I loved it.
