You've probably noticed I've been on a Proper Romances kick lately. I didn't realize, though, that these romances aren't solely Regencies ... there are some contemporary ones, too! I found Lies, Love, and Breakfast at Tiffany's while browsing Libby, and I was intrigued ...
The Lie
Women in Hollywood are just pretty faces. But Silvia Bradshaw knows that’s a lie, and she’s ready to be treated as an equal and prove her worth as one of Hollywood’s newest film editors.
The Love
She and Ben Mason had worked together as editors before Silvia got her big break, so he’s the perfect person to ask for feedback on her first major film. But even as their friendship begins to blossom into something more, a lawsuit surfaces, jeopardizing both of their jobs—as well as their fledgling romance. Audrey Hepburn once said: “The most important things is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it’s all that matters.” Silvia agrees. Or she used to. It’s one thing to risk her job and her heart, but can she really risk Ben’s too? Does she have the right to make decisions for her own happiness when they affect so many other people?
The Breakfast
With everything to lose, Silvia meets Ben for breakfast at his favorite diner, Tiffany’s, for one last conversation before the credits roll on true love.
This book is really fun! It's a quick, easy, and fairly predictable read, but there are quirks to the characters that make them stand out (like Sylvia's eye). It's clean, romantic, and full of fun film references ... it's a perfect feel-good read! 4-1/2 stars.
