My Unscripted Life by Lauren Morrill

3.0

Actual rating: 3.5 stars

I read this book at the right time, and that made all the difference in my enjoyment of the novel. This is the first book in ages that I finished in just a few hours, and I'm amazed that I still can do that, actually. This one is a short, light and not-so-fluffy read, but it provided the break that I so badly needed from the heavy and/or fantasy books that I have been reading in the past few weeks. Sometimes it's nice to just sit back and read a YA romance novel, even though it's full of predictable cliches.

My Unscripted Life is about a girl who was hired to be a PA for the art director in a film, and as with all cliches, she falls in love with the main actor who seemed closed off and rude at first. And to make things more fun, the lead actress is the actor's ex-girlfriend. Also, the actors are only there for a short while to film. As I said, it's all extremely cliche, but if you love cliches as much as I do, then I doubt you'll have any problems enjoying this one. Also, if you just need a simple story to relax, this is a perfect book for you. If you're looking for a book with the meaning of life, however, then steer clear of this one.

I know without a doubt that if I had read this book 2-3 years ago, this book would have made me swoon a thousand times, and I would have loved it. However, I grew a little bit older and my tastes have changed. But while I didn't love this one, I still enjoyed it nonetheless. It has a simple story that will take you away for a short while, and maybe make your heart race faster a couple of times. It's a relaxing short read, and it was the perfect book for me when I read it.

There's not much to say about this book, really. I just really enjoyed how quick it was to read, and how simple the story was that I didn't have to think, just let it take me away.
