Random Things Tours: The Book Boyfriend by Lucy Vine

Romance and books, how things can get any better? Romance stories built around the love for books, there are just another level.

Lucy Vine, a book lover herself, wrote a lovely romcom with exactly this focus: romance and books, preferably happening at the same time. The result, a book - The Book Boyfriend - going beyond the usual romcom standard. 

Jemma is a book lover, with a passion for the written world. Also, she loves a specific book Too Good to be True, that she may often read on repeat. But when her beloved library copy is impossible to retrieve any more, the plot moves in the direction of finding who took it away. 

On the other hand, her twin sister, Clara, who just returned from the States, also develops a passion around the same topic, only that in her case, it has to do with a lovely actor playing in the movie made after Jemma´s beloved book.

Both Jemma and Clara will develop their own love stories whose next events are hard to guess until the very end. In addition to the intricacies of the story, those unexpected twists turn the reading into an even more entertaining one. Also, the dynamic between the twins, as two separate personalities, trying to overcome the gaps and misunderstandings of the past adds a welcomed line of diversion to the story, as it makes the characters more human, adding depth and complexity to their individual eatures.

It´s hard not to fall in love with The Book Boyfriend and even harder to forget the characters. It is a recommended summer read for all the book lovers among us.
