Someone Else's Fairytale
by E.M. Tippetts
**This book was a free Kindle download that I obtained in 2015. I read this as part of my 2019 Kindle Spring Cleaning.**
I enjoyed this book a lot more than I expected to. A book that is considered YA or NA has to have a lot of other stuff going for it to hold my interest because I have reached an age where it is more difficult for me to relate to teen problems. Luckily, there were other parts of the storyline that captured my attention. The issues that our heroine Chloe was dealing with from her past made all her decisions and preferences seem totally logical. Sometimes I want to tell a heroine to get over herself, but not in this case.
Also, I like a romance where the heroine genuinely isn't bowled over by the hero from the beginning. Chloe didn't hate Jason and she didn't secretly lust after him while putting up a front; she was genuinely feeling out whether she could have a friendship with him. That was a refreshing change from the books I've read recently.
This book has a steam factor of zero, so you can hand it to your teenage daughters, your elderly aunties, or the ladies in your church group. It is just a good story, plain and simple.
