Immersed in the world of books, she knows her tropes, especially the City Person Goes to the Country one – and she’s in fact been dumped four times now by city guys who’ve gone to a small town, helped save a struggling business and fallen in love with the owner’s daughter, etc. Nora is an editor in New York, the city she moved to with her mum and younger sister so her mum could get a chance to act, the city she loves like nowhere else – known as the Shark, since their mother’s death she’s concentrated on her career and her sister, acting like both parents to her and keeping a checklist any men she wants to date must conform to. Is this how it happens? Pick a small town, take a walk, meet an impossibly good-looking stranger? It’s even about editors, although more the developmental kind at a publisher than the line editing I do still, it was lovely to read detail about the process as well as a sparky book that undermines the genre its in.īut this man is mythic, the too-shiny lead in a rom-com that has you shouting, NO DAIRY FARMER HAS THOSE ABS. Another fun NetGalley read and an appropriate title for my 200th NetGalley review (yes, I get a new badge hope I’ve been able to upload it OK by the time you’re reading this).
