![]() I am a sucker for running dialog that fills a story, it gets me to relate to the characters even more because you just have their voices and direct interaction running in your minds eye throughout the story and Ms. One of the big loves I had for this book, among other things, was it is so full of rich dialog. I loved that Nic could really put Holly in her place, yes I just wanted to slap Holly, but I think Ms. Hill expertly spins, no matter what upbringing, all families have issues, ok Nic more than most, but still Ms. ![]() I don't want to give to much away, but as Ms. To me this story has a few threads running through it-the fake girlfriend relationship so Abby can keep her ex at arms length, the growing romance between Abby and Nic, but what really grabbed me was the dynamics of working class experiences, Nic, countered with the richer class of the Ex, Holly, and to some extent Abby's family. Nic, short for Nicky (loved that, you will understand when you read the book), steps in and they are off to fake everyone out for 10 days. Abby is going home for the holidays and her ex will be at the house (I won't spoil it to say why but dang.) so she asks a total stranger to help her out. Hill has a great spin on it in her latest book. I do like a good 'fake girlfriend' story and Ms. ![]()
