‘Better than Fiction’ by Alexa Martin

To be published 08/11/2022…

Drew recently inherited her gran’s beloved bookshop. It’s an unexpected bequest, but Drew doesn’t hesitate to put her photography dreams on hold in order to continue her gran’s legacy. The fact that she hasn’t read a book since school is inconsequential and when gran’s old book club take it upon themselves to arrange an author event, Drew takes it in her stride. That is until she meets the author, who looks exactly like one of his own romance heroes come to life…

This book is easy to read, with a smoothly flowing plot and a relatable tone of voice. Drew is a well thought out character with a lot of depth and a surprisingly fleshed out backstory. In contrast Jasper is a bit more two-dimensional, serving more as a plot point than anything deeper. Despite this I was really rooting for them throughout the whole book and I think this is a testament to how well the character of Drew was written. I felt fully immersed in her life and in her thought processes and was so glad when she sorted out more than just her love life by the end of the book.
