BOOK REVIEW: The Queen of New Beginnings by Erica James
Don’t all we women love our chick-lit fix? I sure do and
this is one of the chick-lits that touched the deepest depths of my heart.
Would you believe me that I needed a pack of tissues nearby? Though there were
tear-jerkers, fortunately the book had a happy and romantic ending that is a
must in a grade-A chick-lit.
Alice Shoemaker goes to great lengths to avoid telling the
truth about herself and her past. But this proves difficult when she agrees to
help out the strange and obnoxiously rude man who is staying at Cuckoo House
and who clearly has something to hide. (psssst..a little sneak peek...in the
storyline you will find out that Alice Shoemaker’s actual name is Alice
Barrett).
Clayton Miller’s life is a mess. His career as one of the
country’s best comedy script writers has stalled and his long-term girlfriend
has left him for his ex writing partner. Just when he thinks life couldn’t get
any worse, he commits a spectacularly public fall from grace and, with the
press hounding him, his agent banishes him to the middle of nowhere until the
dust has settled. And there he meets Alice.
As they learn the truth about each other they form an
unlikely friendship and secrets are revealed, until Alice discovers the worst
kind of betrayal. With the theme of boy meets girl, girl falls in love, guy
turns out to be a jerk, temporary break up and repatchment through promises and
proposals, this novel has it all. My opinion: grab it and sit alone or you will
risk embarrassing yourself with tear-streaked faces.
