Review: Who are these people
Rating: 1 out of 5
Date: 01 25, 2013
This author seems to write about the way she thinks people could behave.  It all feels untrue.  First of all, "billionaire" is a term for someone with a billion dollars -- there just are not that many of them on the planet.  This ordinary tall guy, Brad, lives in his late grandfather's Manhattan brownstone, goes to galas, drives in a limo and has a jet that takes him across the oceans. . .  We can call him a millionaire and be done with it.  Alexis describes herself as short and stocky, her apartment is cramped and "dirty" (ew) and she has no backbone.  Her communication skills, perhaps due to the author's reluctance to write dialogue, indicate that her heroine may be nearly mute.  She jumps into things with Brad after a few sentences at a construction site, on a table.  He likes her, but do we have to?  Save your money for a book with a cast of characters you can admire or at least like.  I wish I had done that.
