What a fun book!
The
third and final story in the “Backstage Pass” series was such a fun (and quick)
read. From the very beginning of reading Tia’s “voice” on the page, I knew I
would love this girl…and I did. She completely endeared me, though she
certainly has her share of troubles!
Janice
Thompson is at her best upon the page in first person voice. Tia came to life
with her quirky little internal one liners and great perspective. What I appreciated
and loved the most though was how the faith journey was woven through every
part of the story and never became preachy.
Throw
in a fun setting like Hollywood, quirky and fun secondary characters and the
novel is just one plain enjoyable ride.
I
have to say this one has been my favorite of the three in this series. How it
combines series and funny with that signature romance all makes for a neat
little package wrapped up in a great cover.
It
doesn’t have the typical romance formula “boy gets girl, boy losses girl, boy
wins girl back” and it was a nice change. More of a relationship that has
progressed across three books and taken off in this novel.
All
in all, the author is at the top of her game, I loved this story, loved the
characters, loved the crafting of the novel. Totally an enjoyable couple hours
of entertainment.
This
review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers for my copy to review.

More about the novel....
Tia Morales is used to calling the shots. She's the director of the popular sitcom Stars Collide, and her life on set is calculated and orderly. Well, most of the time. But her life outside the studio is another matter. If only she could get her family to behave as well as her stars do When she starts butting heads with handsome camera operator Jason Harris, it's enough to send a girl over the edge. Will she ever learn to let go and take life--and love--as it comes?
Full of the humor and crazy family dynamics Janice Thompson fans have come to love, this colorful story gives readers an inside look at Hollywood and a healthy dose of romance.
Have to read this!! But I should probably the first couple in the series first, shouldn't I? :)
ReplyDeleteI'd suggest it Melissa. There would be spoilers if you didn't read the first 2 first. This one was my favorite, though. :)
