Nora Goes Off Script

 
 

Lotte’s Review:

A beach read which a friend told me was like ‘Notting Hill’ on paper. Well, in that case it seems perfect as a poolside read. An author turns her divorce into a powerful book that gets picked up by Hollywood, the handsome main character ends up staying behind - and Nora falls in love. Sounds pretty simple, and if the writing is good it will be a perfect summer read for me.


Romance channel screenwriter Nora Hamilton knows the formula for love better than anyone. But when her too-good-to-work husband leaves her and their two kids, Nora turns her marriage’s collapse into cash, writing the best script of her life. When it’s picked up for the big screen and set to film at her home with former Sexiest Man Alive, Leo Vance, cast as her ex-husband, Nora’s life will never be the same.

After shooting wraps, Nora finds Leo on her porch with a half-empty bottle of tequila and a proposition. He’ll pay a thousand dollars a day to stay for a week. She could use the money, but it’s the need in his eyes that makes her say yes. Seven days: it’s the blink of an eye or an eternity depending on how you look at it. Enough time to fall in love. Enough time to break your heart.
