What a delightfully silly road trip romp with this pack of goobers who read far too many romantic novels 😜

If I had to choose one acronym to describe this book it would be OTT—like on a scale of, “Ho-hum” to “WTF!,” this would be a solid, “Seriously? Seriously!” 

Now, as someone who grew up on a steady diet of “The Naked Gun,” “Spaceballs” and “Mr. Bean,” I have a healthy appreciation of the ridiculous, so I really enjoyed “Something Fabulous.” But what I’ve come to learn from reading a number of Mr. Hall’s works, is that the man writes broadly. He seems to enjoy tackling all the genres, and in my opinion, does it supremely well. Just don’t pick this up expecting “Glitterland” or even “Boyfriend Material.” You’ll be disappointed if you do. 

But if you find yourself in the mood for a little bit of cotton candy fluff, this might be your cup of tea, or, to extend the saccharine metaphor, your raspberry-chocolate cocoa with marshmallow hearts.

i find the main character AND the live interest irritating and irrational.

Loved it. Great narration. Smooth story. Set in an idealistic open minded, 1800s setting. Mmc is traditional character basically being thrust into 2025 ideals. But in the 1800s. It was good. Just trust me.
