A review by sonia_reppe
Vintage Attraction by Charles Blackstone

3.0

I liked Blackstone’s rendering of disgruntled hipster-intellectual Peter; the scenes involving academia are amusing and insightful. Peter’s ex-lover Talia brings a fun element and Isabella is well-drawn, but Peter’s 1st person point-of-view intellectualisms take precedence over passion. The wine descriptions felt slow for me but I enjoyed the Chicago setting. The cover doesn't look like Chicago, you say? You're right. Peter and his wife go to Greece at the very end of the book; I don't think the cover really fits.
