The Close-Up by Sarah Smith
5.0
'The Close-Up' by Sarah Smith left me with a happy post-read high. It's witty, touching and utterly romantic. I was cackling at some of Naomi's observations (like pressed juice deliveries being the rich people equivalent of store bought bouquets of flowers).
This is a novel where the male character is self evolved and teaches men how to work on themselves and to take the initiative in their relationsuips so the mental and emotional load that is always the burden carried by women alone. How refreshing! I just loved how Simon is supportive, funny, and makes Naomi communicate with him and not run away. Plus the steam between Simon and Naomi was off the charts. So many times in romance novels I feel the male love interest doesn't deserve the heroine, but not 'The Close-up'.
