I could not finish this book. It's important for me to be able to connect to the characters in some way and I struggled here as I found them too vapid and shallow with not enough to redeem them.

A great lighthearted, entertaining romantic, comedy that I absolutely loved reading. The writing was great, the story was great, and the characters were likable and well developed. And, none of them got on my nerves and there really wasn't any redundancy. It was just a charming little read that was good for me since I read so many morbid and grisly stories!

There was a lot of sex in the story, but the majority of it was implied or suggested and I did not have to skip any pages. Although, since this was a new affair, I do have to say, it's no wonder this couple were hurting towards the end of the book. HA!!!

I would definitely recommend it. And the rom/com dude in the story sounds really dreamy. Actually, most of the guys do.

A book I received from LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review.

It has been a long time since I read a romance, so when I read the description of this book, "a contemporary romantic comedy about what happens when the paths of a celebrity god and a mere mortal collide," I was interested. Who doesn't wonder about what would happen if they met their ultimate celebrity crush?

It started off well. A cute meet. A dream of a night. But then it took a really weird turn that it never quite recovered from. There were too many inconsistencies in character and plot that kept distracting me from the story. I enjoyed the glamorous settings—the French Alps, New York, London, Ireland, the French Riviera, Rome, Barbados—and the glamorous people, but I was looking for that one real thing that would make me care about these characters and I just didn't find it. I was interested in Charlotte's romance, but she was cheated by having to share her story with too many characters who were too obviously being set up for their own stories, as this is Book One in The Passport Series.

All in all, Prosecco & Paparazzi could have benefited greatly from a couple more rounds of editing. There were too many insignificant details, too much uncontrollable laughter, too much prosecco, and not enough paparazzi.

I thought that the plot of Prosecco & Paparazzi was interesting-sounding. However, the prose and the story structure killed any enjoyment I had while reading. Kennedy never used a one- or two-syllable word when she could think of a much longer word and (in addition to being a mismatch for the light subject matter of the book) it made her sound like a middle-schooler showing off a newly-acquired vocabulary. In addition, I don't usually mind jumping around in the timeline of a story -- if it is done for a reason, and if it doesn't lessen the emotional impact of the events. In this case, the main character and narrator Charlotte is looking back on her first meeting with her celebrity crush Des, but we don't get enough backstory about who he is and why she's crushing to feel any sympathy for her when things go awry. So, overall, a good idea that would have benefited from some serious editing.… (mer)
