Henriette – :
Aussie academic meets Hollywood
This book was an absolute charmer which had me at first thoroughly entertained and chuckling along and then got me thinking about what‘s important in life.
There is Jane, Australian, an academic focused on her career, oblivious to anything else, esp. to American pop-culture, neurodivergent. She visits her sister‘s family in L.A. and invites her niece to a concert where she meets free-wheeling artist Amber. Talk about opposites attract! There are quite a few outright hilarious as well as tongue-in-cheek moments.
When both decide to try long-distance Jane‘s job and her career bring dark academia vibes along which enriches the story.
The story was very well written. The author had obviously fun writing the first part which reads much like a rom-com and was equally invested in adding the more serious parts. Well done! A lovely read.
