Books: Someone Just Like You
Today we are recommending Someone Just Like You by Meredith Schorr. This is an extremely delightful enemies-to-lovers story. Molly and Jude have known each other their whole lives and hated each other for most of that time. When they are thrown together in preparation for their parents' joint anniversary, suddenly their whole dynamic begins to change and it becomes clear that there is more to their relationship than they have always thought. Perhaps, that explains why they have always been attracted to doppelgangers of each other.
This is a very well-developed story. The characters' long history with each other makes it so much richer. It makes it more believable and realistic than a typical enemies-to-lover story in which the couple just meets and instantly hates each other.
Sometimes the characters in romance novels especially the men are just too perfect, and they don't seem real. However, that is not the case here, both the main characters are definitely flawed. That only serves to make them more relatable and likable, especially in their attempts to overcome their flaws.
There is quite a lot of humor in the book as well. That only adds to the fun of it all. On the whole, it is quite a charming and endearing story that will definitely make you smile.
Movies: Dreamin' Wild
Today we are talking about Dreamin' Wild. Dreamin' Wild is the true story of two brothers who form a band. They never really make it so one brother continues to pursue music while the other goes to work on the family farm. Years later, one of their songs is discovered and becomes a hit and the band reunites.
The story is interesting. The acting is good. Casey Affleck, Walton Goggins, Beau Bridges, and Zoey Deschanel headline the movie. However, it is a very cerebral film, and there is not a lot of action. Therefore, it seems to move along very slowly. If you like a film that you really have to think about to process, you may enjoy it. If you are looking for mindless entertainment that you don't have to think about to enjoy, you will not.
Dreamin' Wild will be released in theaters this Friday.
And that's our view. Tune in tomorrow for Where-To-Go Wednesday.
