Book Review
The American Woman by R.J. Gould
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
When it's impossible to forget is it possible to forgive?
Jennifer is stuck doing dead end waitressing jobs, her naïve dream of Hollywood stardom in tatters. Gareth, an IT consultant on a temporary contract, is the unlikely customer at Giulio's Diner in the downbeat part of Los Angeles where she is now working.
It shouldn't be a perfect match, the attractive, outgoing waitress from Idaho and the shy, good looker from Wales, but when it comes to relationships nothing is predictable, is it?
They move from state to state and when Gareth's work in America dries up Jennifer follows him to Britain. Everything changes. What is she supposed to do when she discovers that she's been fed a pack of lies?
Now living alone in London, Jennifer is a regular at the popular Dream Café with a great job and a lovely set of friends, but it's impossible to cast aside the wonderful memories of her time together with Gareth.
Were his lies justified? Are they forgivable? And most importantly, should she be giving Gareth the second chance he so desperately wants?
My Opinion
I have read this as a standalone novel and as far as I am aware it did not spoil my ability to follow the story. This was easy enough to follow even though it switches between past and present. This is the first book I have read by Gould, but with such descriptive writing it was easy to see why people keep coming back for more. If you allow it this book will play with your emotions as there some ups and some downs. For me this was a solid 3.5 (rounded up to a 4).
Rating: 4/5
