A review by shakirrashaan
An Accidental Affair by Eric Jerome Dickey

5.0

EJD is BACK!

I'll admit I purposely skipped Tempted by Trouble because a few other die-hard fans were really not impressed with that book, so bridging from Resurrecting Midnight to An Accidental Affair was perfect for me!

The fact that this book was rooted in Hollywood - not the glitz and glamour Hollywood, but the dirty, nasty, underhanded Hollywood - was an absolutely perfect backdrop for the types of things that went on in this novel.

James Thicke was yet another arresting character from EJD's Universe that I would not mind seeing a cameo from in a future work, and Driver... man, Driver... if I EVER make it to the big time, I want Driver to have my back, period, and that's all I'm going to say about that, you'll have to read the book to know what I'm talking about.

I'm glad he came back with something so powerful, and I'm happy that he will be back on the grind with the next project (no, I'm not saying what it is, you have to get the book)

Some other thoughts that are in my head:

I'll never look at post-it notes the same way again.

The slogans and phrases on the shirts were absolutely freaking hilarious!

The capture and essence of the Internet and social media helped drive this story in ways that not too many could have pulled off.

There's not much else that I can say without giving away the book in some way, so I will end this by saying:

GET. THE. BOOK! I can't say it enough... GET. THE. BOOK!
